Russian goalkeepers' success is related to mentality

Vitaliy Kafanov, the goalkeepers' coach of the Russian national team, emphasized the important role of the character and mentality typical of Russians in the achievements of Matvey Safonov and Nikita Khaykin. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. The Norwegian club "Bodø/Glimt," where Nikita Khaykin plays, has for the first time in its history managed to reach the round of 16 in the Champions League.

Matvey Safonov is participating at this stage with "PSG," the leading team in the French championship. According to Kafanov, such successes of Russian athletes are not accidental.

In an interview with "Match TV," he noted that Russians historically have a spirit of defending the team and helping in difficult situations. Such qualities are especially evident in goalkeepers.

Additionally, Kafanov highlighted the talent of Daniil Khudyakov, who plays for Austria's "Sturm" club. Regarding Nikita Khaykin, he highly appreciated him as a player trained by the local goalkeepers' school.
