"Score 0: 0 - evaluation of the actions of the attackers": Borodyuk about the mistakes of Sobolev and Chalov, the absence of Safonov and the form of Miranchuk

“Young footballers failed to show their best qualities”

- The Russian national team could not beat Moldova, which occupies the 175th place in the FIFA rating.

Should we take this result seriously?

- In my opinion, in this game the coaching staff of the national team got one of the few opportunities to try young footballers in business.

You can even call this match experimental.

It was specially planned for this.

The guys from the youth team got a chance, because in the future the national team will face the most important meetings of the League of Nations.

- Does the result indicate that they could not prove themselves?

- They look great in the youth team.

But in the game with Moldova they failed to show their best qualities.

However, the adaptation process continues.

Actually, Stanislav Cherchesov said that this match served as good food for thought.

We wanted to win, but it didn't work out.

- How long will it take for young footballers to adapt to the national team?

- First, they have to show themselves in their teams, then in European competitions and, finally, in the national team.

This is not an easy process, and everything goes gradually.

In any case, it will take time, and everything is individual here.

One can immediately go out and play great, while the other does not.

It is difficult to single out someone based on the results of the meeting with Moldova.

We need to see the guys in action against the background of more serious rivals.

They need to play and join the team.

And in the game with Moldova, the players of the Russian national team lacked mutual understanding.

In the match with the Turks, the main team will enter the field, and everything will be focused on the result. 

- So there is nothing wrong with this draw?

- Cherchesov's coaching staff will have to draw conclusions about who showed themselves how.

They will conduct a serious analysis of the game and will continue to monitor the young performers, see how they will play for their teams.

But I agree that in a duel with Moldova, the youth should have shown themselves brighter.

This chance should be used.

- It seemed that the young, having got a chance in the national team, should tear and throw, but they lacked dedication ...

- You need to understand that the level of football at the adult and youth levels differs significantly.

Young people even have martial arts in a completely different way than older athletes.

Again, there was not enough understanding either.

It is not easy to find him when so many new players enter the field at the same time, especially in positions that require teamwork.

And it comes only in the training process.  

“Our team must score at least one goal in a match with such an opponent”

- Did the Moldovans surprise you in an amicable way?

- In defense, they acted quite well, but in attack they showed nothing.

In any case, the Russian national team should beat such a team.

Our team must score at least one goal in a match with an opponent of this level. 

- In the absence of Artyom Dzyuba, Alexander Sobolev and Fyodor Chalov practically did not show themselves in anything.

Is this alarming ahead of key Nations League games?

- A question for Cherchesov.

We can only talk about who he invited to the national team.

All responsibility lies with Stanislav Salamovich and his staff.

Who will play against Turkey, Sobolev or Chalov?

Hard to tell.

There can be a lot of nuances here.

But the score is 0: 0.

This is an assessment of the actions of the attackers.

Both failed to score or scored assists.

I don't even know who will play with Turkey.

It is also necessary to analyze what tactics Turkey will choose for the match on the home arena, to determine the strong and weak positions of the opponent.

It is also important in what physical and psychological condition our players will be, because this is one of the decisive meetings for the national team. 

- Didn't it seem that the Russians lacked freshness in the game with Moldova? 

- I would not say that.

In principle, many national teams use these friendly matches to provide time for the young.

Let's say the Germans played with the Czechs in a fairly experimental composition.

And whether our footballers have "gorged" or not, two upcoming meetings will show. 

- Cherchesov released a lot of young players on the field, but not Matvey Safonov.

Wasn't it worth it in a friendly game?

- In the national team, as a rule, the place at the goal is occupied by those people whom the coaching staff counts on in future matches.

This is done so that they do not lose confidence in themselves.

Although, it is possible that Safonov or Soslan Dzhanaev will get a chance to play with Turkey.  

- Were you surprised that Alexey Miranchuk had a not very bright meeting?

After the goal in the meeting with Inter, they expected more from him ...

- This is also a matter of lack of teamwork.

But in order to become the main player of the national team, Alexei must show himself in such matches.

He makes great use of his chances at Atalanta, but did not look too bright with Moldova.

It is very difficult to give a result when a whole group of newcomers enter the field.

It takes at least a week of the training process to play some ligaments, and, unfortunately, there is no time.

But this game was necessary, yet we must not forget that there are older players in the national team, and a gradual infusion of youth is required.

And the guys should draw the right conclusions from what happened and get ready for the upcoming decisive meetings of the League of Nations.

I wish the Russian team success.
