“I think the coaching staff is just trying to find a balance in the game. In the first half, he was not, hence the result. Our "bus" did not set and pressed the opponent high enough. But there wasn’t enough aggression, and the Belgians got out of the pressure, and then created moments, ”Rakhimov said in an interview with RT.
He also stressed that after the first goal conceded, the Russian team had to open.
“But we had a lot of losses ahead, the game in the attack did not stick. The guests went very well to half of the Russian field through vertical gears. This difference played a decisive role, ”added the coach.
Earlier, Rakhimov called for a calmer attitude towards the devastating defeat of Russia from Belgium.
