Nikita Bazhenov appreciated the actions of the defense of “Spartak” in a losing game with Rostov (2: 4).
It’s all a superset of individual mistakes. Firstly, there is a lot of wedding in the central area. I want to note that they played against Komlichenko incorrectly. I didn’t like the way Jikia played. And they did not allow him to accept and turn around for nothing. My coach once said that such a game is a crime against football. If he were a young player, I wouldn’t go for it. Basically, I don’t get mad right now. But Jikia is still the guarantor of our defense, and he has no right, especially in the first goal, to play like that.
The attacker plays with his back to the goal. Instead of pressing, squeezing and forcing him to return the ball, he bounces two meters, allowing Komlichenko to turn around. As a result, he turns around and probably says “thank you” surprised to himself, gives it to Poloz and, consequently, has more space. I launched Rybus and hit big. It was a trend! It is not just a moment! And with Komlichenko the first half was played like this. And Jikia was with him above all. And she let him throw.
