“I can't say that in the first half we created a lot of chances at our goal, given the strength of the opponents.

On the first goal, there are some questions, when we conceded the second goal, we didn’t have time for the rebound, ”the Rostov website quotes the specialist.

At the same time, he does not think that Rostov had big problems in defense, even though they conceded four goals. 

“I am worried about the morale of the players.

Worry about defeats in themselves and how the team plays.

I hope that in the near future there will be no reasons for this, ”Karpin added.

He also stressed that in the last game the team acted better in attack than in the first match of the season against Dynamo.

Zenit beat Rostov 4: 2 on the road.

Zenit will host Krasnodar in the third round on August 7, and Rostov will meet Khimki outside Moscow on a visit on August 8.

Earlier, Karpin answered the question whether he managed to communicate with Dziuba after the match with Zenit.
