The judges, seasoned players and youngsters had a great time – a complete set.
Doorman
Ilya Lantatov (Khimki)
Has anyone found the Khimki defense? Lost, in five games RPL and the Cup missed fifteen goals after Yuran’s departure. The team collapsed without a manager who managed to focus only on defense. Lantatov also got bored, Ilya began to make mistakes. A strong goalkeeper, so even against Orenburg there were a couple of saves. But it was his unsuccessful play on the way out that led to Orenburg’s winning goal. The defense has failed, but the last frontier has failed.
Defenders
Daniel Denisov (Spartak)
It is time for him to suffer. The 19-year-old midfielder, who plays on the right in defense – a damned position in Spartak, has been treated with sympathy by many. But let’s evaluate a single match. Against Zenit, the young player has lost the ball five times, every third wrong pass has not created a single opportunity. Zenit’s left flank tore apart Spartak’s right flank. The loss of Martins may exacerbate the problem, as Sobolev’s play as a right striker – the striker predictably doesn’t know how to secure defense.
Nikita Chernov (Spartak)
A nice defender for Krylya Sovetov or Ural, but hardly a main player CSKA and Spartak, if you dream of high places. Abascal tried so hard to prepare Nikita for the blows of fate, but because the young Chernov lost a place at the base of the midfielder Litvinov. In the central match, Ruslan was moved to the support zone: he didn’t help much and Nikita lost the ball when Lovren scored. When Santos, Wendel, Malcolm and Mostovoy set up a carousel with 23 shots on Maksimenko’s door, Chernov also didn’t help.
Mikhail Smirnov (“Torch”)
At 32, a man who is not spoiled by the seasons RPL, it is necessary to better prepare for the matches and study the characteristics of the opponent. Nimble Milson, who came in as a substitute at half-time, missed Mikhail before earning a penalty. Smirnov also lingered with the ball in recovery time, allowed the same opponent to rob himself, go one on one, beat Svinov and score the third ball in the torch gate. For the team manager, this defeat cost him work.
Aleksandr Zuev (Khimki)
It is clear that the play “Orenburg” and “Khimki” was not one-sided, because the guests are stronger in the composition. When Idovu was in uniform he covered the left wing, there were no problems. Now Brian has disappeared from the application of Spartak Gogniev, but it didn’t get any easier. Zuev lost the ball: every fourth pass was inaccurate, he tried to be active in attack, but was beaten. He was inferior in the fight, which helped Orenburg disperse promising bouts.
Midfielders
Francois Camano (Locomotive)
Kerk, Miranchuk and Ignatiev at least tried against Akhmat: they hit on goal, Anton even created chances. But Miranchuk has 7 passes under attack, while Camano has one. Kirk has four shots, François only one. It is clear that Isidor was expected in the place of an experienced player, if not for the injury, but Lokomotiv lived to see a home defeat in the match, in which they played in the majority from 28 ‘, and 42’ the referee gave a penalty.
Sergej Terechov (Sochi)
After Angban and Tsallagov’s injuries, Garanin no longer had people for the support zone. Terekhov was forced to become Noboa’s partner and the experiment failed. Although “Sochi” in the class indicated the presence in the match with “Krasnodar”, they hit Safonov’s door, if you look closely, they planned for defeat only because of the shortcomings in the support zone. Ramirez was also not prevented from hitting on goal from the center. Terekhov, in the role of defensive midfielder, left areas for passing, he does not feel the task of this role.
Denis Glushakov (Khimki)
The aliens have kidnapped Denis and changed him into a copy that cannot play football. The replicant created Orenburg’s return ball first: he casually threw the ball, which was intercepted by an opposing player on the flank. Also due to the burned copy of Glushakov are continuous position losses, appeals to teammates and a lost fight in the opponent’s second attacking goal. And when Orenburg scored the third goal, Glushakov left the only one capable of scoring free.
Michail Ignatov (Spartak)
At some point, “Spartak” players may begin to anger Abaskal’s stubbornness. Professionals really don’t like it when they turn out to be unprepared masters at the base, given that playing in the minority, especially against Zenit, is a verdict. Ignatov was not even able to determine the position against the favorite: in his own half he touched the ball as many times as in someone else’s. And the worst thing is that Mikhail refused 55% of the passes, this is an indicator of an amateur.
Quincy Promes (Spartak)
The Dutchman played the worst games against Akhmat, Dynamo and Zenit: three matches in which Spartak lost points and confidence in a miracle. Promes is cool, but he’s more like Malcolm. He will stay here to rest, he will light up there – it will be too late. Like Zenit’s Brazilian, Promes is most often good against those Spartak, in theory, should be up against. The Dutchman’s dependence on success is obvious and “Zenith” firmly closed Promes: 1 shot, 1 moment created for the entire match.
attack
Mohamed Konate (“Akhmat”)
People with goals rarely join this team. But Konate scored and then made a mistake. First, the striker, who is in good physical shape, nudged an opponent in someone else’s penalty area – a light yellow card. Then, already knowing that there was a warning in the passive, Konate rudely attacked Karpukas in the opponent’s half. Professional football is played with the head, if the attacker retires on 28 ‘he disappoints him.
Main coach
Guillermo Abascal (Spartacus)
Compper deserved the dismissal, as did Zinnbauer, but Lokomotiv has been bad for a long time. Many have lost not devastatingly, due to individual player mistakes. But Spartak lost to Zenit in the lawsuit, and the score could have been bigger, given the two dozen hits from the guests on Maksimenko’s goal. Abascal lost the battle on the flanks, in two support areas, at the gates of others. Bad game plan and he failed to rebuild.
Bobrovsky-Meshkov exhibition. Triple penalty against Baburin
Karpin is missing a player like Roman Eremenko. Rostov made 27 attacks with shots on Baburin’s goal, but there is no last clever pass, Komlichenko threw the balls to teammates more than others. He pushed the defender in recovery time into the penalty area, he returned-hugs, the referee awarded a penalty. An assistant suspended VAR Meshkov (for the sins in the match “Dinamo” – “Ural”, because he did not appoint a penalty kick against the Muscovites), and the fault lies with the chief referee of the match in Rostov-on-Don – Bobrovsky.
According to the protocol, the referee must clearly clarify with the assistant with repetitions whether Komlichenko himself has violated the rules. ESC RFS decided – there was no penalty, “Torpedo” was robbed. But a crazy show happened, because Baburin took two hits in a row from different players, but both times he left the line before the hitter touched. The judge forced to stop strictly according to the rules, Osipenko brought three points to Rostov. But Torpedo, where ten players have received yellow cards, could win a draw. It will be a shame if one point isn’t enough to save at the end of the season. This is how referees can influence fates.
