Vladimir Ponomaryov, a former player of Moscow CSKA and the former Soviet Union national team, believes that it is still too early for Igor Akinfeev to end his football career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, Akinfeev feels excellent on the field and is acting very wisely in managing the team's defense as an experienced player. According to Ponomaryov, Akinfeev can still delight fans with his game for many more years.
Akinfeev is currently 39 years old, and his contract with CSKA is valid until the summer of 2026. By that time, he will celebrate his 40th birthday.
In the last match, CSKA played a draw with Orenburg, and in the two official matches of the new season, Akinfeev has not conceded a single goal. This once again confirms that he is a reliable goalkeeper.
Thus, Akinfeev still has the opportunity and strength to continue his career. Fans also want to see him on the field in the future.
