“The match was of low quality.” Bubnov dismantled the game “Zenith” and “Spartak” in the Cup of Russia

Expert Sportbox.ru Alexander Bubnov believes that the departure of St. Petersburg in the “Path of Regions” will not be a big problem for the team.

The match was, frankly, of a low level and quality. There is not much to analyze here. The first half without any moments at all. Spartak studied Zenit well, knew how to play against him. Closed, condensed defense, especially in the center. This made it possible to leave the opponent without chances, although the Red-Whites themselves did not really succeed in the attack.

In the second half, dangerous moments finally appeared, but it cannot be said that they were 100% scoring. In some cases, it was not possible to realize, in others, the defenders blocked the blows. For individual personalities, one can probably single out Prutsev – tenacious in the selection, useful in terms of technique and organization of the game.

If we talk about the match as a whole, then a draw in regular time is a natural outcome here. Formally, Zenit won, taking into account the penalty shootout, in fact, the victory remained with Spartak, which held first place in the group. For the team from St. Petersburg, there is probably no tragedy in relegation to the bottom of the playoff bracket. There, the opponents are weaker, and the factor of extra games, taking into account the possibility of rotating the squad, will not be so serious.

Zhurova believes that PSG has no problems with Safonov and Zabarny

French team Paris Saint-Germain shouldn’t have any problems as the Russians play on the same team Matveya Safonov and Ukrainian Ilya Zabarny. This opinion was expressed by the Olympic speed skating champion, deputy of the State Duma Svetlana Zhurova.

Previously, Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Matvey Bedny he called on the French club to resolve the situation, which, in his opinion, is inconvenient.

“All soccer players are professionals,” Zhurova said. “In my opinion, this situation is inconvenient only for Ukrainian officials, who constantly try to add fuel to the fire PSGnor did the players themselves express any complaints or report any discomfort. Accordingly, there is nothing to fix here. The club itself knows how to do better.”

Zabarny moved to PSG last summer. Safonov has been playing for the Parisians since last season.
