Associate Coach Vadim Garanin explained why the team midfielder Christian Noboa gets little game time at the start of the 2022/23 season.
Christian has not yet reached the same condition he had last season. We understood how intense this match was going to be. Having Ibragim Tsallagov and Viktor Angban in the same position as the defensive midfielders, we understood how many martial arts there would be. And we know that football is not just about fighting, but also about creative moments.
Therefore, we have decided that it is too early to start Christian at the moment. And not for some fictitious conflicts, as it might seem to some from the outside. It’s just a matter of physical condition. It’s a little out of shape where Noboa himself probably would like to be too.
