“Abascalu – a four with a minus”

The fate of the medals was already decided in the first half of the match between CSKA and Rostov. Most likely, Spartak also knew how events were developing there, therefore it didn’t particularly rest against the Wings. Samarans, on the contrary, lay down with their bones in order to escape from the joint zone. I’ll note Frolov’s game: the goalkeeper helped out the Wings several times very well.

In general, it is fair that silver went to CSKA. The army team is both tactically and in composition stronger than Spartak. The whole spring part of Fedotov’s team was extremely stable. If the Cup of Russia is added to this medal, we can safely consider this season to be excellent.

Everything was completely different for the “red-whites”. The constant rotation affected the game of the team. So today, Abascal put up a new line-up, because of which Spartak looked no better than an obvious outsider. According to the season, I would give Abaskal a four with a minus: after all, the team ended up in the prizes, although there were hard failures, as in the Russian Cup or Super Cup. In my opinion, Spartak hastened to re-sign the coach. If the contract ended at the end of the season, management would still doubt whether it was worth renewing it. Now, I think, Abaskal will be allowed to work further, because otherwise he will have to pay a penalty.

“I would like the Fakel to stay”

At the joints, I had doubts only about the Wings of the Soviets. But in the end, Samarans pulled out a victory on the moral and strong-willed – and rightly so. The field also helped: look how many fans there were!

Pari NN and Fakel go to transitional matches. In theory, both of them are stronger than their rivals from the First League. Unless the Voronezh residents may have problems with leaving for Krasnoyarsk to the Yenisei. Of course, I would like Fakel to stay. It is very interesting to look at the further work of Evseev in this team, which, in general, even before his arrival, made an impression with its character.

“Paris NN” greatly crippled the departure of Galaktionov. Then they made a mistake with the appointment of Gorlov. If not for the arrival of Yuran, who has experience in the struggle for survival, they could have taken off. Now they will play against Rodina, the fifth team of the First League. In my opinion, it is obvious who is the favorite here.
