The head coach of the Kazan Rubin Rashid Rakhimov called the episodes that predetermined the outcome of the match of the 22nd round of the RPL world with Zenit, noting that the Kazan minority had a little chance of success in this meeting.

The meeting was held in St. Petersburg and ended with a score of 4-0 in favor of Zenit. All balls were scored in the second half. At the beginning of the second half of the meeting, the guests remained ten, defender Alexei Gritsenko received a second yellow card.

– Are there any changes in the game of your team in the second half, which affected such a development of events even before removal?

– Stupidity. The stupidity that happened. We were in the attack, we could conduct an “2 in 1” attack, but managed to lose this speed, make the simplest mistakes, give Zenit the opportunity to go into a counterattack, which was not at all in the first half. We controlled these moments well. But they made a stupid mistake, missed. Immediately, we flew the second yellow card. And here the episode is quite stupid. So two episodes can break everything that was built in the first half. These moments have determined everything.

– The second yellow Gritsenko is stupidity?

– At the moment when you own the ball, give an inaccurate gear, you have a yellow card and you still do not control (emotions) – yes.

The absence on the field of one player with such a team as Zenit … They took control of the ball, and it was already difficult for us to show a hontrodros, and in such a situation the replacements did not strengthen us.

– After the fourth ball, you were strongly dissatisfied with the actions of your team.

– Why is it necessary, passing the third goal, not to play the next episode? You need to play to the end. Yes, it happened, but we ourselves are to blame for this. I expected a different reaction, but, unfortunately, everything could happen. Even if such a situation happened, it cannot break you, you must continue to play in a disciplined and look for your chances, ”Rakhimov said“ Match TV ”.
