Gazzaev – about the game of Akinfeev in the final of the UEFA Cup in 2005: “Is Akinfeev’s fear of fear? No, in my opinion “

Former CSKA coach Valery Gazzaev shared his memories of the game of goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev in the final match of the 2005 UEFA Cup with Sporting.

On May 18, 2005, the Moscow club defeated Sporting with a score of 3: 1 and became the first winner of the European Cup among Russian teams.

– Did Akinfeev shaking with fear? No, in my opinion. How can he shake it? It was calm. There was an attack on our gate, a blow to the bar – and Igor in his hands. Usually the goalkeeper, when we lead in the game, necessarily falls, lies – the time pulls. And here he immediately jumped up, saw Carwallo and knocked out his ball with his foot. Carvallo slipped, beat, gave the pass – 3: 1, it all ended. It was the most important point. Then Krasich came out, the Anarchy already began at Sporting, – Gazzaev quotes KP Sport.

On May 18, Moscow will host a match between the legends of CSKA and the national team of football players of European clubs, with which the army team played on the way to trophy in the 2004/05 season.
