“Very impressive match.” The sad conclusion of Bubnov after the defeat of Spartak from Zenit

Alexander Bubnov

Expert Sportbox.ru analyzes the match of the 8th round of the WORLD RPL.

The victory is absolutely right. Today Zenit completely outplayed Spartak. The Petersburgers controlled the match better, created a lot of scoring chances… Mostovoy alone shot four times from outside the penalty area, and in the end scored with a long-range shot. Malcolm could also score… What can I say: Zenit had an advantage throughout the match.

Yes, anything can happen in football – and the first half is proof of that. They made a mistake once and got an own goal. We must pay tribute to Sobolev: he perfectly understood the situation, beautifully deployed Lovren. For Spartak, this meeting was a serious test – much more serious than the Super Bowl. Then Guillermo Abascal only took over the team, and the players were not functionally ready. Now we have seen what Spartak is worth against Zenit when the players have already rolled into the season.

A very impressive match. Once again, it becomes clear that Zenit is significantly superior in class to any rival in Russia. When a team plays at full speed and is well tuned, it has no competitors. Yes, Spartak tried to fight, and the victory was not easy for the guests. But this is still not enough to resist the “Zenith”.

Abascal has a lot of work to do. The game showed that Spartak had rather serious problems in the middle line – it was in this zone that Zenit completely outplayed the red-whites. And then it will be even more difficult, because today the Muscovites lost Litvinov and Martins due to injuries. There is a reserve, but you still have to rebuild one way or another, and this is not beneficial.

The defense of Spartak also needs stabilization. Litvinov constantly has to change positions, Chernov sometimes plays, sometimes he doesn’t play … Unless the figure of Georgy Jikia does not raise any questions. “Zenith” in this case can be taken as a model. The team of Sergei Semak has practically no weak points. Therefore, no one in the league can really compete with it.
