Former CSKA Moscow football player Valery Masalitin met with Zenit St. He talked about the big mistake made by Spartak goalkeeper Alexander Selikhov in the match against St. Petersburg.
“Of course it’s nerves. Recently, goalkeepers have started playing with their feet. To have this skill from childhood, you need to get it into children’s football so that they play like that anyway. It seems that he has this gap and he needs to train, gain skills to fill it. Recently there was a match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern, the goalkeeper of Borussia also came out, he passed, he passed and everything was 1:0, Bayern took the lead.
Everyone is wrong. These are nerves. Well, this skill [игры ногами] should be developed from childhood. If you have not developed in children’s football, then it is already difficult. Probably all our goalkeepers, except Akinfeev, are having trouble putting the ball into play. The pressure disappears when there is pressure. All these can be brought to a certain level through education. And so, such a match, so many people gathered, they started shouting, making noise. There will be experience, and then it all depends on him, what kind of soul he has. If he is stable and behaves normally, then everything will be fine. “If you gnaw something from the inside, it will be difficult,” Masalitin said in a conversation with socialbites.ca.
Selikhov, the first missed goal in the match against Zenit, became the culprit of this episode. He miscalculated Claudinho’s pressure and hit him with the ball. The bullet flew into the goal, and the goalkeeper did not have time to catch up with him. Thus, the score was opened in the match.
