“CSKA” did not have enough details.

Berdyev in his repertoire

Over the winter, Sochi hasn’t changed. We played “3-4-2-1” because the new manager has the same defensive approach as the previous ones. But Fedotov, when he himself worked in the south, got rid of Rodrigao and Prokhin. Now Terekhov has no such clear partners. In the first round, Sochi lost a lot. As many as 32 actual errors. More than the famous defense of Krasnodar. But now the “soldiers” managed to score against the southerners only from offside.

This does not mean that Berdyev immediately put the game on defense. TO CSKA there were approaches, Dzhanaev saved himself three times. But the “soldiers” have forgotten the details. Tactically, without the ball, the Sochi defenders were in a better position than in the fall. Although, as before, Noboa and Tsallagov are still not qualified enough to complete the tasks of classic defensive midfielders. But the position is chosen abruptly and both know how to work on the attack. Sochi certainly didn’t look like an outsider.

Akinfeev was disturbed more competently. Out of four accurate attempts, two balls were hit. Djordjevic was lucky, but that’s what strikers are for. The Montenegrin came on as a substitute. First, he opened up front, received a shot from Yusupov and beat Akinfeev. Willian didn’t interfere. And shortly after the defender’s ball CSKA proceeded to the Sochi forward. Luke didn’t screw up again. Interestingly, these are Djordjevic’s first goals in the new team.

Southerners, not having a big budget, find the right people. Burmistrov and Djordjevic, who appeared as substitutes, took part in the victory over the “soldiers”. It’s here CSKA he himself could not put in reserve. Zabolotny played football well for the last time in a Sochi shirt and Zdelar in a Partizan shirt. It is commendable CSKA cleaned the dressing room of the Sochi stadium, but first it was worth removing the opponent.

Giants don’t need to relax

Berdyev resisted CSKA 37th fight. He won his twelfth game, lost eighteen times and drew seven other matches. Not a bad indicator. Although against the same Zenit and Spartak he scored points even more often, 11 wins against 12 losses in both cases. IN RPL a man who knows how to upset rich clubs returned, because even Dynamo or Lokomotiv often grieved after a meeting with Berdyev.

Sochi have matches ahead of them against Jokanovic, Ivic, Galaktionov, Karpin and Semak. Only the latter can avoid problems if he solves all problems within the penultimate round, allowing Berdyev to recover from the humiliation of the first round, when the champion defeated the guests 7:0, just like Manchester United in Liverpool. And if you are looking for a link to such a number in life CSKAthen that’s a streak with five losses in the last seven fights.

Berdyev calmly reacted to the victory, but in the first match, after a long break, his team beat the opponent, who had previously lost three times. In the first case, they saw a rout, the “army team” entered the season well, and Melkadze in that match in Moscow failed to beat Akinfeev in time. Then there were cup meetings, two victories of Fedotov with a score of 2:1. Berdyev quickly showed that there was a new sheriff in the city.

Without Diveev, the “soldiers” are weaker

Fedotov could not cope without Zainutdinov and Diveev in central defense. Of course, when you play full-backs in the top three – Willian was complemented by Nababkin and Moises, then there will certainly be mistakes. But in the series with the defeats of Pari NN, Dynamo and Ural (on penalties in the Cup), there were different combinations in defense. When Diveev got injured, it was worth learning to play without him. But Fedotov spent time, spent time preparing, but did not find a way out.

A young novice Agapov was wounded, who also hit. Defense without Diveev CSKA made several serious mistakes. Berdyev was none the wiser, they saw forward passes, a quick pass between the attacking lines. But the bet worked. Noskov and Gayich did not have a match to be proud of. Can Army fans say their team didn’t deserve to lose? Maybe they bet on a goalless draw as a starting point.

But the opponent made two substitutions in time, they played. But Fedotov was late. TO CSKA the whole season goes badly with plan “B”, clear even in the first round. For example, in a duel against Zenit. Fedotov was praised in the case, but when Medina, Carrascal and Chalov do not show strong football, as in the first cup match against Krasnodar, then CSKA problems often arise. “CSKA” does not control the pace of the game.

Lack of class in the middle of the field

Disadvantages CSKA dismantled, the match with Sochi only confirmed the fears. There is no root support at the base. Kuchaev and Mendez are players of other roles. A joker like Djordjevic is also missing, so that Chalov can calmly leave the field, without doubting the reservist. Zabolotny, who comes out to help Fedor, rarely pleases with effective actions. But the attacker knew the opponent very well.

In addition, the southern segment, matches against the “citizens” of Krasnodar and Sochi, can be called a pleasure for Fedotov. Next will be Osinkin in the Cup semi-final, and he knows his team better than Sochi’s Berdyev. It will also be difficult to get a home match against Zenit before the international break. Fedotov has few games to erase the losses from the fall and move on to a winning streak.

Fan CSKA I have the right to hope that Carrascal and Medina will awaken. The bet on Chalov is also logical, in Sochi he wasn’t the worst on the pitch. But this CSKA you can rock. Offer them the ball, loosen up the defense with long balls. And then a successful pass and access to the shock position ends in a goal. The more often such a ball comes in the second half, the less time to respond. CSKA loses too often.
