"Some army team need to reconsider the attitude to football": Borodyuk about the failure of CSKA, the debut of "Sochi" and the new "Rubin"

- Let's start with the failed full premiere of VAR. What do you think, if the system still had time to install and start using in all the matches of the first round, the results would be different?

- It is difficult to say affirmatively about what did not happen. However, without any doubt, VAR will bring the principle of justice to our championship. But at the same time, in my opinion, the system itself needs improvement. While the pauses of viewing controversial episodes take too much time and noticeably knock the rhythm of the game.

- Do you think that in the match “Spartak” - “Sochi” it would be worthwhile to apply VAR?

- While it is not, we accept the results that are. Although, in my opinion, there was a penalty to the hosts' gate, no doubt. And for this you do not even need to repeat the episode. Samuel Zhigot's goal is also controversial. But here you need to understand in detail. Here the system of video help to the arbitrators really would not hurt.

- Despite the refereeing, “Sochi” looked very confident against the background of a more eminent opponent. How to evaluate the game debutant?

- I really liked the game of the team in the first half. We acted confidently and demonstrated good, modern football. In the second, in my opinion, there was not enough physics. I relate this to the fact that the players simply did not have time to play and feel each other. In addition, there is a certain imbalance - some of the players are ready for the season, the other is still at its peak.

- This is a new strong middle peasants of the league or a team that in the future may be apprehended by the fate of the star Anji?

- While it is difficult to speak, let's give them a few rounds for the buildup to understand who we are dealing with.

- Now about "Spartacus." Red and white scored a minimal victory, but the fans still had questions for team action. Is there any chance that the team will eventually find its game, or with this coaching staff and the selection of players the club is doomed to finish in the fifth place zone?

- They should be given time, after all Muscovites suffered serious personnel losses. Quincy Promes left earlier, now the team has bid farewell to Zé Luis and Denis Glushakov. That is, they lost those who defined the main attacking actions. But I am sure that “Spartak” will still add in the course of the season. Today the most important thing is that they started with a victory and scored three points. As they say, it is better to hold not the strongest match, but to achieve a result than vice versa.

- You said the loss of The Luis. Is the Argentine novice Esequiel Ponce unable to replace him?

- It is early to evaluate its capabilities; we will draw the first conclusions after several rounds. The main problem of “Spartacus” is another. The fact that young players need to adapt to the conditions of constant pressure from the press and the stands. This club needs players with a core and character. Such leaders as Promes, Zé Luis and Salvatore Bokketti, who were fighting desperately in the penalty area.

“CSKA and Spartak will catch their playing tone and start adding”

- CSKA continues to frighten and upset their fans. Red-blue in all respects lost to Wings and continued their unsuccessful goalless series, conceding two goals in Samara. What is the main problem of the army?

- For me, CSKA is the main disappointment of the tour. In the opening match, they almost did not succeed. We saw how unsuccessfully the team played in the Parimatch Premier Cup, and by the beginning of the season, little had changed. I do not want to go on personalities, but I will say that some CSKA players should reconsider their attitude to their own game and football in general.

- Do you believe that Viktor Goncharenko can be dismissed from the club for unsatisfactory results?

- Observing corporate ethics, I never comment on the work of colleagues and their further fate, especially in public. But in general, no one judges the readiness of the team on one tour. Both CSKA and Spartak will catch their game tone and start adding.

- And how do you like the game of Alexander Sobolev from “Wings”, who almost single-handedly dealt with the army defense?

The result did not alone Sobolev. This is the merit of the whole team. In general, I would like to speak out relatively Samarans complimentary. Football City, a pleasant team, which deservedly retained a place in the RPL. As for the double of Sobolev, I am sure that he is able to progress further, but such a player needs the confidence of a coach. He must feel and understand that they see a big player in him and fully believe in his talent.

- Do you think Stanislav Cherchesov has already thought about his invitation to the national team?

- The level of the national team is, first of all, stability. Now talk about a place in the national team prematurely. In order to qualify for a hit in the application, you need to score at least ten goals over several matches. Drawing conclusions from one successful game is fundamentally wrong. A young footballer can shoot in the short run, but then go into the shadow again.

“Champions play pragmatically”

- Zenit did not start better than its main competitors. Yes, the blue-white-blue finished the tour with three points, but Tambov still managed to impose their game on them and even score one ball ...

- Champions of the country are still pragmatic and tuned in to the result. The victory in the first match is gained, therefore the task of the team is completed. At the same time, I would like to mention the game of debutants. Like Sochi, the newcomer of the Tambov RPL showed character and showed itself from the best side. One can see the desire and diligence of the players, and if in time they are allowed to play in their stadium, one can expect unexpected surprises.

- The game of Andrei Lunov has already become an object for caustic statements of fans. Does the goalkeeper lose his credibility? Is there any chance that he will be able to return to the previous level?

- Yes, those goals that he is missing now raise some questions, and it is not entirely clear what this instability is connected with. Maybe something with psychology, I do not exclude that there are also some nuances in the training process. At the same time, Andrew is an experienced goalkeeper and he is able to correct the situation.

- A lot of talk and relatively updated "Krasnodar". When to wait for a stable game in the midfield line of bulls, which during the off-season, in fact, has changed completely?

“By the way Krasnodar looks like now, there are fewer questions.” They are still true to their corporate identity. The game is set, the ball control is at a high level. The team went well with the season in terms of physical fitness. As for the middle line, there will be enough of a small time interval in order to play. But even without this, the Musayev team now looks very cool.

- The program of the 1st round ended in Cherkizovo, where “Rubin” unexpectedly for many gave battle to the vice-champion of the country. The meeting ended with a score of 1-1. How did Kazan manage it? Indeed, after the club left Kurban Berdyev, no one believed that a team from Tatarstan would be able to fight on equal terms with the giants ...

- Personally, I really liked the "Ruby"! Roman Sharonov managed to create a new team, which is very different from its previous version. In the shortest possible time we managed to instill in the team a different model of performance. I note how Kazan controlled the ball, quickly went to the counterattack - only positive emotions from their actions on the field.

- How do you evaluate the starting match performed by Loko?

- They did not use their moments. At the start of the season many people face such problems. In addition, the railroad did not have enough attacker, able to put the final point. I think if Jefferson Farfan were in the ranks, and Fyodor Smolov was included in the application, the result could have been different.

- If we talk about the tour as a whole, which team made the most pleasant impression on you?

- There are two of them. This is "Akhmat" and "Krasnodar". I would even say that the game with the participation of these clubs was held at a qualitative European level. It looked very good and in the tactical plan, and from the point of view of the struggle, and the physical condition of the players.

- Is it possible for the first round to conclude about the overall level of the championship?

- It will take five to seven rounds, and only then it will be possible to talk about potential favorites. However, according to what we have already seen, there are prerequisites to expect an interesting championship with a bitter struggle.

- And who would you call the best player of the tour?

- It’s too early to talk about players. Determine the best so far prematurely.
