Footballer Gustavo Santos, who joined Krasnodar this summer, shared his thoughts on the reasons why Brazilians pay attention to clubs in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Brazilians show interest in the RPL because the league's level is high and of good quality. Despite the absence of the Champions League and Europa League, Brazilian players want to come here due to the league's standard. On Wednesday, Krasnodar defeated Moscow Dynamo 4-0 in a Russian Cup match. Gustavo Santos scored his first official competition goal in this game. Krasnodar became the Russian champion for the first time in the spring season. Currently, the team is in second place in the tournament table, three points behind the leader Lokomotiv. The team continues to compete for the championship by showing strong results throughout the season.

In the Russia Cup group stage match, the capital's "Dinamo" team played against "Krasnodar" at home and lost 0:4. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Football expert Sergey Silkin commented on this result. According to him, such play is unacceptable in the Cup competition. The 0:4 score is not important because "Krasnodar" effectively utilized their opportunities, while "Dinamo" missed such chances. In the next match, "Dinamo" will face another capital club – CSKA. "Krasnodar" will play against "Sochi," one of the weaker teams in the championship. Both matches will take place on Sunday, August 17. These games are expected to influence the teams' future fate and positions in the season. Therefore, both teams will try to show their full strength on the field.

Alexander Koryakin, the goalkeeper of the Krasnodar team, shared his thoughts about meeting the former goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Koryakin recently said that Safonov visited the Krasnodar base, so he had the opportunity to meet and talk with him. He described Safonov as a very pleasant person and noted that he received some advice from him. Koryakin emphasized that he always pays attention to people's opinions. Safonov started his career at Krasnodar and transferred to the French club PSG last summer. His contract with the Parisians is scheduled until mid-2029. Safonov is expected to achieve many successes during his time with the new team. This mutual acquaintance and advice will be useful for future activities.

Veteran member of the Dinamo team Aleksey Petrushin shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with the online publication "Evro-Futbol.ru" about the defeat against Krasnodar in the cup match and the team's performance at the start of the season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Dinamo suffered a heavy defeat to Krasnodar in yesterday's cup match. What do you think were the main problems? – Yesterday, the coach did not field the main lineup; Karpin wanted to test the close reserves. This situation is common among all teams at this stage of the cup. What is your opinion about the reserves? – Many of these players had left a good impression in previous friendly matches. However, yesterday they showed themselves poorly. The team's defense did not work at all. The southern team overwhelmed Moscow's defense. Dinamo made many mistakes from the goalkeeper to the outfield players. The visitors did not have to force errors with complex combinations. Dinamo scores few goals and creates few chances. What is the reason? – Krasnodar played well defensively. Therefore, Dinamo was almost unable to play in attack. Only in the second half did the players become more active, but the visitors tried to maintain the score. What do you think about the opinion that Karpin's adaptation to Dinamo is taking a long time? – There is another issue here. It is incorrect to compare Rostov and Dinamo. Rostov was not among the top teams with Karpin; the levels of these two teams differ. The Russian national team will play many friendly matches in the fall, and Karpin will be constantly involved with the national team. Does this not negatively affect Dinamo? – Rolon Gusev assists Karpin at the club; at the end of last season, he won three out of four games. He knows the team well. There are no major problems during training. Karpin leaves the work plan and stays in contact. If the head coach is left without supervision, won't the team slack off? – That cannot happen. The coaches stay in contact; Karpin knows who is preparing how. He is always mentally with Dinamo. Dinamo will play against CSKA in the next round. What do you expect? – I want to see good football. The current CSKA is one of the strongest teams. They demonstrate spectacular and effective play. The players are fully prepared and active for the entire 90 minutes. Glebov leads the attack. It will not be easy for the hosts, but Karpin's team must prove themselves. Interview by Elena Grigoryevskaya.

Moscow CSKA team captain Igor Akinfeev responded to the question of whether the unexpected departure of defender Willian Rosha from the team was a big blow to him. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Akinfeev, this situation did not affect him. Willian Rosha is 30 years old and was offered a good salary. The club also benefited from this transfer because it would have been difficult to get such an amount of money for Rosha within two years. The club created an opportunity for the player, and it was the right decision. Additionally, Akinfeev emphasized the necessity of earning income from transfers for the club's development. This income helps to purchase new players. It has become known that 30-year-old Rosha moved from Moscow CSKA to the "Al-Jazira" club in the United Arab Emirates. The press reported that the player was offered favorable financial terms. It is said that this transfer was beneficial for both the club and the player.
