Rubin's midfielder Dmitriy Kabutov shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with the "Euro-Football.ru" publication about the defeat against Lokomotiv and the race among top scorers. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Can it be said that the weather conditions in this match were unfavorable for Rubin, since goalkeeper Yevgeniy Staver could not hold the wet ball and conceded a goal? According to Kabutov, the weather was the same for everyone and did not affect the game.
The match was close to a draw, but they lost. Now the reasons for this situation are being analyzed.
When the referee canceled Shabanhajay's goal, were there questions about an offside? In this situation, the referees used the VAR system, which means there was an offside.
Kabutov did not see who passed the ball because he was looking backward at that moment, but it is clear that the player was offside. What can you say about Daler Kuzyayev, who recently joined Rubin?
There were reports that he might transfer to CSKA. Kabutov says he was not surprised by his arrival, and in today's game, it was clearly seen that he is helping the team.
He showed a good performance in the first half and demonstrated good qualities. Daler has conceded many goals; does this affect his game?
This indicates that he is developing further and will help the team more. How is Kuzyayev adapting to the team?
He has only been with the team for two days, so it is still difficult to draw definite conclusions. Former Rubin player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia took twelfth place in the "Ballon d'Or" voting.
What can you say about this? Kabutov has not played against him and did not watch the ceremony.
He tied with Daku Batrakov in the top scorers list. Can Mirlin surpass Aleksey?
According to Kabutov, not only can he do this, but he will definitely take first place and lead the top scorers race. Interview by Elena Grigorievskaya.
