Naumov criticized the shortcomings in Russia's defense

Football official Nikolay Naumov criticized the performance of Russia's national team defense line in the BetBoom match against Iran. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He spoke about the slowness of the defenders in the game, especially the sluggish performance of Melyokhin and Osipenko. He emphasized that their very slow ball play was delaying the attack.

According to Naumov, the players are constantly passing to each other in their own half, slowing down the game. These remarks were cited by the "Sovetskiy sport" publication.

The match took place on October 10 in the city of Volgograd, and the Russian national team won with a score of 2:1. The next game will be held on October 14 at the VTB Arena stadium in Moscow.

There, Valery Karpin's pupils will take the field against the Bolivia national team. The game will start at 20:00 local time.

To address the problems that have arisen in Russia's defense, the team's coaches and players need to work on them. Also, accelerating the defensive line is important to improve the game and act effectively against the opponent.

This will help the team achieve success in upcoming matches.
