The head coach of the "Akron" football team, Zaur Tedeev, shared his thoughts with journalists at the end of the match against "Spartak." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, there was a small dispute over who should take the penalty kick. In such situations, the coach should not interfere in the game, as the players on the field should be able to show their initiative.
However, discipline is also important. In this case, neither Pestraykov nor the other players should have taken the penalty; it was Artyom's responsibility.
He did his job on the second attempt, and I believe luck smiled upon him. The truth must find its place.
Artyom made the right decision and scored. From the beginning, Artyom Dzyuba has been taking the penalties.
He has performed this duty in previous matches as well. In the cup match, he was unable to score from the penalty, but this situation does not affect my decision.
At such moments, there is no need to think about other options; one must go out on the field and fulfill their duty. Artyom may have thought it was right for Lonchar to take the penalty this time.
Such situations occur in football. Stefan played well; he should not be blamed but rather supported.
In the future, such mistakes should not be made. In the game, central midfielders Jurasovich and Jakovats received two yellow cards.
Lonchar was substituted. The coach stated that this decision was made because Jakovats was more active and due to psychological factors.
Additionally, the aim was to strengthen the team's play through Kuzmin. Kuzmin is regaining his athletic form and will need some time.
The coach emphasized that he was not worried about the referee, as he did not see any injustice in his actions.
