Akron team's head coach Zaur Tedeev shared his thoughts after the game against CSKA. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that today's victory was not easy. According to the coach, CSKA is one of the best teams in terms of gameplay.
They control the ball well and have experienced players in their squad. Akron had to play defensively because pressing was not always successful in the first half.
The reason for this is that many young players who had not played together before joined the team at the same time. At the same time, they moved well in defense and did not give the opponent many opportunities.
They could have been more active in counterattacks. The team also remained calm in ball control.
Despite the pressing being insufficient, they managed to score a goal right after a pressing situation. The coach expressed his satisfaction with the players' patient and confident play, as well as the ability of the young players to show themselves.
When assessing the debut of new players, the coach mentioned that Konstantin Maradishvili needs a little time to fully adapt. His position is responsible and requires a lot from him.
Maradishvili adapted to the team in a short time and performed well in today's game. His endurance is still not enough, but it will improve over time.
Popenkov is a young player who recently graduated from school and was called up to the team. He also managed to show himself well.
In response to a question about the injury of team player Benshimol, the coach expressed hope that it is not a serious injury. According to him, it is not a muscle injury, but rather a result of a simple collision.
There is hope that Benshimol will be ready for the next game.
