Valeriy Karpin's ratings of the football players The match overall, especially the first half, was very disappointing. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Only Glushenkov's shot on the goalkeeper's post was clearly heard. Towards the end of the game, the Russian national team woke up a bit after making substitutions.
However, in the first half, they could have suffered defeat on their own field. In this case, Maksimenko and the Jordanian player's unclear shot saved the team.
In terms of the number of attempts, Karpin's team lagged far behind: 4 shots compared to 9, and in terms of shots on target, the score was 4:1. Now let's consider why the Russian national team could lose at home.
The “Euro-football.ru” website analyzed the match and gave ratings to Valeriy Karpin's players on a 10-point scale. The players who started in the main lineup in the match between Russia and Jordan were: Aleksandr Maksimenko, Ilya Vahania, Ruslan Litvinov, Yevgeniy Morozov, Yuriy Gorshkov, Ivan Oblyakov, Aleksandr Chernikov, Dmitriy Barinov, Maksim Glushenkov, Andrey Mostovoy, and Dmitriy Vorobyev.
Among the substitutes were Ivan Sergeyev, Ilya Samoshnikov, Matvey Lukin, Maksim Osipenko, and others. The four worst players of the match were selected as follows.
Ivan Oblyakov was given a rating of 3.0. He was supposed to be the main creator in the central zone during the game, but he only helped the Jordanian team.
He had no accurate forward passes. Aleksandr Chernikov was also given 3.0 points.
He lost his position many times in the defensive line and caused disorder on the field. Litvinov and Morozov had to cover his shortcomings.
Chernikov stood out mostly for fouls. Andrey Mostovoy was also rated 3.0.
He committed many fouls, received a yellow card, but showed insufficient activity in pressing and taking shots in the opponent's half. Mostovoy was also sluggish in fulfilling his duties and lost the duel against the opposing player Namat on the flank.
Yuriy Gorshkov was also rated 3.0. He was often left behind by opponents on the left wing.
Namat and Al-Kurayshi moved easily in his area. Gorshkov's positional mistakes led to the first dangerous situation.
Additionally, he lost the ball in his own half and was ineffective in attacks. Overall, the Russian national team did not show enough strength in the match, and dangerous situations were created in front of their goal in the first half.
Some players' shortcomings negatively affected the team's overall play. It is necessary to eliminate these weaknesses in the upcoming matches.
