Head coach of Rostov Valery Karpin summed up the match of the 7th round of the championship of Russia against CSKA (0: 0).
Well, let’s just say, incomplete satisfaction. There are positives. We didn’t lose, we played zero with a serious opponent, with a contender for the Scudetto. Therefore not complete satisfaction, but we can say that the game was for three results. He could lose, he could draw in the end.
I think we had a little more strength, we created in the end in the last few minutes. Except for the moment at the end of Gaich, I don’t remember more dangerous moments at our gates. And at the gate CSKA to remember. So the impression is twofold. The satisfaction is twofold.
Was there a plan for a rhythm game? This was the plan, let’s call it a tactical duel. Don’t give space CSKA. They scored 16 goals from a position attack. We were preparing for this. Again, we played, to put it mildly, with the opponent not the weakest. Probably with one of the strongest of the moment. Zenit, Spartak, CSKA – at the moment the teams are serious. Also take the composition. They have Gaich to replace Carrascal, and we have Melekhin and Ntumba, with all due respect. Probably immeasurable. Therefore, the boys only express gratitude to our boys.
It was a difficult month from a meteorological point of view. The airport is closed, there are no fans, well what can you present to the guys here. Only gratitude.
