Football expert Sergey Tashuyev shared his thoughts on the Russian national team's friendly match against Peru. He spoke about this in an exclusive interview with the online publication "Euro-Futbol.Ru."
On November 12, in a BetBoom friendly match in St. Petersburg, the teams of Russia and Peru drew 1:1.
- What impression did he make on the game with Peru?
- This has been the worst game for the Russian national team recently. We didn't see any clear tactics or coordinated actions in the game. There were only minor episodes.
- What was the reason for this?
- The main reason is getting tired of friendly matches. In such games, the level of responsibility is low, because the result is not important. I would like to see a real national team playing in the starting lineup. But now the composition is constantly changing.
Play time and trips are taken into account. If the match had been official, the doctors would have tried to restore the players and focused on the result.
And now it is more important to prevent injuries. Players want to play well, but the psychological state cannot be cheated.
I don't blame them, it's just a fact. Therefore, there is no need to highlight any player or analyze the game. This game was just for the fans.
- Many criticize Safonov's mistake. Valeriy Karpin said that if it were a qualifying match, Matvey might not have played. Don't you think Safonov stopped growing while sitting on PSG's bench?
- I've said before: if this continues, he must stop playing football. Yes, there's the Champions League, you win something, you intensify the competition in the team. But the goalkeeper needs to play regularly. I think Safonov should go on loan.
- Is it right for Karpin to call up a player to the national team without playing practice?
- He was one of the country's leading goalkeepers. He needs psychological support.
- What are the hopes for the match against Chile? Is this a stronger team?
- Considering the rankings over the past ten years, this team is stronger. We don't know what lineup will play, but our team needs to play even more brilliantly.
- "Will you be disappointed if we can't beat the Chileans?"
- That's not true. In particular, we are holding only informal meetings. I'm just analyzing the game. There's no need to disappoint.
We look forward to good times and the main squad. Now, however, our national team is a collection of diverse players.
The game also suits this: if the players from CSKA's blog play today, others will play tomorrow. This is not a national team, but a set of players.
