Composition of strong players.
Doorman
Alexander Dovbnya (Torpedo)
Twice lucky. Krasnodar did not make a one-on-one approach and the goal was disallowed after a goalkeeper error due to an attacking hand ball. But Dovbnya had technical blemishes before the goals scored by Krasnodar. In the first case the huge goalkeeper didn’t stop the cross from the sidewalk, in the second he stayed on the goalkeeper’s area line, simplifying the task for Cordoba.
Defenders
William (CSKA)
A good defender, but speed is not his forte. Djordjevic, after Yusupov’s pass, calmly escaped from the Brazilian and beat Akinfeev. And later, Willian was unlucky, he gave Luka an assist. It is clear that it would be more fun to play with Zainutdinov and Diveev. But in the match, where Willian was to become the leader of the defense, he participated in the goals of Sochi.
Danil Glebov (Rostov)
Surprised, because he often lost the battle. For example, he didn’t close Dzyuba before the first goal. Subsequently, Glebov did not get it before the second successful blow of the veteran, after which the partners arranged a circus show. And before Artyom’s hat-trick, it was the Rostov captain who failed to break Kamano’s serve from the right wing, Glushenkov further threw the ball.
Alexis Duarte (Spartak)
Let’s see how the Paraguayan will play with Jikia, but it didn’t work out with Maslov. Chernov quickly left the field, and then Duarte brought a penalty, grabbing the Ural player by the neck with his hand. The visitors scored the first goal, and then added the second, with Duarte taking a strange position after the opponent’s cross to Bikfalvi. Time for Alexis to pack RPL harder than he thought.
Midfielders
Alexander Silyanov (Rostov)
With the score 1:0 in favor of Dziuba, Rostov had moments. For example, Bayramyan forced Lantratov to work on the line. There was no feeling that it would all end with Dzyuba’s hat-trick. But then Silyanov and his partner relied on each other, the veteran Artem took the ball and made a double. A few minutes later, Alexander was removed from the field, because neither in defense nor in attack he scored the right side.
Vittorio Mendes (CSKA)
It makes no sense to criticize 19-year-old Noskov, who covered his left flank. But Mendez, who is four years older, is worth scolding. Legionnaire presented in CSKA as a person with leadership qualities. And where are these virtues of the Chilean? He didn’t scare Tsallagov and Noboa, he didn’t help Kuchaev and Zdelaru in the centre. I didn’t score on goal, I didn’t create chances for Carrascal. Bad game and new defeat for Mendes e CSKA.
Daniel Utkin (Rostov)
When the midfielder has the same passing accuracy as the number on his shirt – 47%, his substitution is suggested earlier than in the 72nd minute. By that time, Dzyuba had scored three times. Utkin did not interfere with the development of Lokomotiv’s attacks. His partner also didn’t show anything, but he was filmed during the break. Daniil is among the leaders of Rostov, he should share the responsibility after such a defeat.
Daniel Khlusevich (Spartak)
There are also questions to Denisov from the other wing, but that doesn’t cancel out his colleague’s weak football. Khlusevich played an average match against Ural. Although Randjelovic hasn’t been the best of his opponents, the Spartak left-back has no exploits in attack. Daniil also made mistakes in defense, which helped the central team score points. Unsurprisingly, Khlusevich was substituted in the 60th minute of the match.
after you
Jesus Medina (CSKA)
I haven’t played much in a while. Not always at the base at the end of the year, Oblyakov and Carrascal were tried as Chalov’s assistants. But Jesus returned to his right side CSKA against Sochi, because Oblyakov has a suspension. And he didn’t show anything understandable. Not a single chance created, a shot on goal. It was inconspicuous, he didn’t take the initiative.
Shamar Nicholson as Spartacus
“Ural” played well, as well as in the Cup against “Rostov”. Meshkov remembered, but where was Nicholson? The Jamaican has one shot wide of the net in nearly an hour of play, despite his team having the ball. The heavy forward, unlike Sobolev, did not get into the match. It is unlikely that if Abaskal is satisfied with Promes and Zinkovsky, Shamar will be at the base. But there is still a newcomer Balde.
Brian Mansilla (Orenburg)
Kalinsky in St. Petersburg touched the ball seven times, while the Argentine against Akhmat has a completely different story. Four shots on goal, but he hit the target once. And although Berisha and Kharin weren’t active on his side, Brian didn’t help Orenburg. At the same time, even after the elimination of Sivakov, the fight was not easy for the home team. This means that the attachment, not just the harrow, was underdeveloped.
Head coach
Vladimir Fedotov (CSKA)
Rostov entered the season poorly and allowed Dzyuba and Lokomotiv to win. But there was no clear favorite in that pair, so Karpin is still out of this lineup. It’s here CSKA beat Sochi three times in one season. And the only change in the opponent over the winter is the appearance of Berdyev. But the veteran knows the new team worse than Fedotov’s former wards. Defeat CSKA she became the main surprise of the tour, so this lineup is headed by Vladimir Valentinovich.
Tour referee. Vitaly Meshkov
Like a man who has two hundred matches in just one RPL, can he whistle twice in the same match before the attack is over? In the second case, already having the experience of the first mistake, Meshkom could easily let Spartak finish the match and score Sobolev. Replays show that no one broke the rules against Pomazun, the goalkeeper was not injured.
Meshkov took two points from Abaskal and a neutral spectator RPL hope for championship intrigue. And it’s not about the names of the clubs. How many weird mistakes can you make? It’s like with referee Ivanov, who watched the replay of the foul on Tiknizyan in the cup derby, but Spartak’s goal counted. At the start RFS extension said that referees are stronger than players.
