Gabulov believes that Karpin made a childish decision
-- -
Did Karpin simply succumb to emotions in the duel with Spartak?
Former goalkeeper of the Russian national team and a number of domestic clubs, Vladimir Gabulov, commented on the sensational replacement of Sergei Pesyakov during the RPL match “Rostov” – “Spartak”. Valery Karpin pointedly removed Sergei from the game, releasing Nikita Medvedev.
“It was completely incomprehensible to me why they would change an experienced goalkeeper in the 60th minute when the score was 1:2. What could this change? Here the message to the players is more: “No matter how you play, we don’t respect you all and can change you at any time.” Something terrible has already happened – you have to think about how to change the situation near someone else’s gate, not your own. Everyone makes mistakes. This is some kind of childish emotional decision.
If this decision was made for Medvedev to come out and take the penalty, then it’s still unclear, and it didn’t work,” said the veteran.
Gabulov also noted that for the next game the Rostovites will have two goalkeepers who are unsure of themselves.
