Konstantin Kuchaev, who was named the best player of the match between "Rostov" and "Pari NN," shared his thoughts after the game. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
While talking about the first half, Kuchaev noted that the opposing team's player was sent off in the 11th minute, they failed to capitalize on a penalty, and six minutes were added to the first half. He mentioned that one of the main reasons for not scoring was the good performance of the "Nizhny Novgorod" goalkeeper, who saved the penalty and that they lacked luck in some situations.
In the second half, Egov failed to direct the ball into the empty net with his head. He emphasized that such misfortunes had also been observed in previous matches.
During the break, the team's experienced players tried to explain to the young players that nothing was decided yet, the score was 0:0, and despite playing well, it was necessary to score. They explained that if no goals were scored, it was important not to stop the game, as a 1:0 score is dangerous.
Kuchaev noted that when playing well, it is necessary to completely defeat the opponent. When asked how dominating the game for almost the entire match affected the game, Kuchaev stated that controlling the ball was easy, while the opponent mainly waited for mistakes and tried to counterattack.
Due to "Nizhny Novgorod" having fast attackers, the central line players aimed to stay alert. He believes that attacking through the wings is more effective in such games.
In response to a personal question on the topic, Kuchaev emphasized that being stepped on by an opposing player caused serious pain, and in that situation, he did not take any action, and the referee's decision was solely dependent on him. He expressed surprise at the opposing players asking if a red card should be issued.
Kuchaev noted that this match marked the first victory after four matches, but emphasized the need not to stop there and to strive to recover the lost points. He stated that there is still a lot of work ahead for the team and that they must aim for the best results in every game.
