Fabio Capello refused to blame Igor Akinfeev for his blunder against South Korea, insisting that a top-quality keeper is entitled to make mistakes.

據外媒goal.com網站6月18日報道，俄羅斯主帥法比奧力挺門將阿金費耶夫，盡管后者在對陣韓國的比賽中犯下重大失誤，致使球隊一度落后，險些落敗。

Capello, speaking after the game, which was played the day before his birthday, said that there was no need to dwell on the incident and threw his full support behind his player.

世界杯小組賽次戰，在俄羅斯對陣韓國的比賽中，門將阿金費耶夫在下半場，給俄羅斯隊送上了黃油手大禮，外界普遍認為這是一個重大失誤。

"A keeper always has the chance to make a mistake," the 68-year-old Italian told Sport Ekspress.

"We can accept a mistake from a great goalkeeper, which is what Akinfeev is."

但俄羅斯主帥，金牌教頭法比奧·卡佩羅（Fabio Capello）坦言，作為一名頂級門將，阿金費耶夫也會犯錯，這沒什么好責備的。

"We were more restricted than we usually are. And only after a conceded goal did the team play as well as they could. But even in the first half we had four chances in front of goal.

“我們今天一開始并沒有放開。在對方先入了一球后，球隊才找回了狀態。但即便如此，上半場我們仍創造了四次進球機會。”

"However we did manage to avert the threat of our opponent. And at 1-1, we did everything to score a second goal.

“然而，我們也要設法做好防守。并且我們在下半場盡全力攻進了第二球戰平對手。”

"I thanked the players after the match for the reaction to the goal going in. This is the best birthday gift I could have had.

“賽后我感謝了我的球員們，感謝他們為了進球所做的一切，這是我所收到過的最棒的生日禮物。”（卡佩羅在賽后就將迎來自己68歲的生日）
