Gorshkov: This Outcome Is Not a Tragedy

Russian national team defender Yuriy Gorshkov shared his thoughts with "Match TV" following the game against the Peru national team. "- Was this planned ahead of time or how did it happen?" - I don’t know, this question is for Valeriy Georgievich.

"- So, you didn’t discuss beforehand that each player would get their chance?" - No. "- What did you expect from the Peru national team, and what did you actually see?" - We expected them to play with five defenders.

Perhaps we thought we would control the ball more and create more acute situations in attack. "- Do you consider today’s draw a serious problem?" - I don’t think so, it’s just a coincidence.

Because they had two shots and scored one goal. Meanwhile, we had the advantage in play, more opportunities, and more shots.

I believe there’s no tragedy in this result. We will continue to work.
