Karpin: “If someone had said before the start of the season that Rostov would be in the top 5, I would have answered that this person is crazy”

– No matter how this season ends, it still remains unexpected for us, something from the realm of fantasy. One phrase can be summarized: if someone told me before the start of the season that we would be in the top 5, I would twist it at my temple and say that this person is crazy. With all our problems with logistics, recovery, injuries, with a squad without foreigners, to say that we will be in the top five is something beyond.

The season is not over yet, but I can already thank all the players for their perseverance. You probably have no idea what it’s like to come back after a game sitting 6-7 hours on the bus and 4 hours on the plane. And even 13-14 hours by bus from Moscow, arriving at 10 in the morning in Rostov, you can’t even imagine what it is like, how else can you play football after this. Therefore, I want to thank all the players, fans, ”Match TV quotes Karpin.

In the final round, Rostov in Moscow will play with CSKA, which is second in the championship with 55 points. Third place with 54 points is taken by Spartak.

“Let’s prepare completely calmly. The medal race for us is an unexpectedly pleasant bonus. We are finishing the season without (forward Nikolai) Komlichenko and (defender Maxim) Osipenko, before that we were without (midfielder Daniil) Utkin, (defender Evgeny) Chernov and (forward Dmitry) Poloz, now without (midfielder Danil) Glebov because of the card, much worse. You always have to count on winning,” said Karpin.

Bulykin named the position that Spartak needs to strengthen

Former Russian national football player Dmitry Bulykin expressed his opinion on how Spartak could strengthen during the winter window.

What kind of player does Spartak need in the winter transfer window? First of all, another goalscoring striker. They are already in a good position and can fight for the championship, but due to the atmosphere in the team there were disagreements.

Now we need a good coach who unites them with a single goal and task. If I were in Spartak, I would find another goalscoring striker in the winter and fight for the championship.

Amorim explains Casemiro’s surprise substitution against Newcastle

Mentor Manchester United Reuben Amorim he said he replaced the midfielder Casemiro during the 1–0 win over Newcastle United because he felt the Brazilian would “struggle” with the intensity of the second half.

Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte formed United’s midfield duo in the absence of Bruno Fernandes, who missed the match with a hamstring injury, but Amorim replaced the Brazilian with Leni Yoro in the 61st minute.

After seeing his number on the substitution board, Casemiro pointed to himself and was disappointed with Amorim’s decision to replace him so early in the match.

Asked to explain Casemiro’s substitution, Amorim replied: “At that moment I didn’t want to shoot [Матеуса] Cunho because he is the only one who allows us to be creative and I put him in position number 10. Jack [Флетчер] it was fresh and could continue, Manu [Угарте] he was cooler than Casemiro. In the end we decided to replace him because they were making a lot of quick passes and I felt that at that point he would have difficulty.”
