“This is our goalkeeper slang”
After the Serbian national team scored five unanswered goals to the Russians on November 18, Cherchesov was asked more than once about a possible resignation. He reacted painfully and was indignant when the question was raised: “Why should I be dismissed? Due to the fact that 20 people are not on the team? Am I to blame for this? Well, not 20 … How many – 14? 5: 0? So what? 5: 0 will give us more. ” And now Cherchesov, on Match TV, explained in a rather harsh manner: it is not worth leaving after “one hideously played match”. “If you think that these 5: 0 negate everything in general, let’s ask other questions,” he snapped.

I will not say toasts here, because there is nothing in my hands. Fans, we went through a lot with you. I don’t know why you took the defeat from Serbia so painfully, although it hurt me the most. My task is to fix everything and prepare the team. Nobody did it for us before and nobody will do it now

There is an opinion that Cherchesov does not like Chalov too much, therefore he almost does not call him into the main team, he only goes to the youth team. The specialist has repeatedly noted that a footballer needs to prove himself. One way or another, the army player has not been seen in the main team for over a year. Now he got the only chance and, according to Cherchesov, although he began to play better, he did not live up to expectations. The player really failed to score, and the match ended in a goalless draw – this is how the Russian team could not win the fourth match in a row.

Although the coach did not directly admit his guilt in the team’s failures, he nevertheless noticed that he could not cope with the circumstances, did not solve the problems that he had to solve

“Very embarrassing for his words”
The interview had the effect of a bomb exploding. On the same evening, the first comments appeared – from coaches, former players and experts. They continue to speak out on this matter to this day.

“We didn’t have a chance”
But if you think about it, nothing out of the ordinary on Match TV has happened. Cherchesov came (which, by the way, really requires some courage) and spoke with his characteristic emotionality. And, of course, the reaction followed. There is only one question: how reasonable is it now, six months before the Euro, to conduct a conversation in this tone not in the locker room, but on the federal channel?
