“Problems with the defense affected the result of the match between Spartak and Ural” – Gladilin

The ex-coach of Spartak Valery Gladilin expressed the opinion that the result of the match between Spartak and Ural in the fourth round of the WORLD RPL was affected by problems with the defense of the red-whites.

On Friday, Spartak lost away to Ural Yekaterinburg in the fourth round match of the WORLD RPL with a score of 2:3, conceding two goals at the end of the meeting.

— How would you rate the performance of Spartak? The team was not like itself.

– Two equal opponents came together. Ural was very motivated. The team is in good condition. No wonder she is now in the leading group. Gancharenko managed to put together a good team, although there are no stars there, but he shows a quality game. I can’t say that Spartak underestimated Ural. Abascal put all the most experienced guys. There were no controversial positions. Draw, equal game. It so happened that at the end there was a misunderstanding between the Spartak defender and the goalkeeper, which Ural took advantage of.

Bicfalvi scored the ball that brought victory. Although, I think the hosts agreed to a draw. As for Spartak, there is no tragedy. “Spartacus” looked normal. Problems in the defense as they were, and are. It all affects. The team concedes in every match. There is no stability in defense. Although Jikia came out. But in the goalkeeper’s position again we saw a rotation. All in all, we need to keep playing. Zenit ahead.

– Before Zenit, the Spartak team will not be in a very good mood. Can this have an effect, or will the already unsuccessful match be forgotten?

– Of course, it will be forgotten. This is football. It so happened. Everyone understands that there was a misunderstanding between the players at the end of the meeting, otherwise the game was a draw. The guys tried. Most importantly, there is a game. Now everything will depend on the match with Zenit. Petersburgers also lost points at the start of the season. No one can do without losses, – quotes the words of Gladilin “Euro‑Futbol.Ru”.

Spartak, having scored 9 points, takes the third place in the standings of the Russian championship.
