Rubin plays depressingly, it’s a sad sight” – Popov

Former Rubin defender Alexei Popov called the result of the match of the 6th round of the WORLD RPL with Dynamo Moscow positive for the Kazan club.

The meeting on Saturday took place in Kazan and ended with the score 2:2.

– A draw is natural. Although Dynamo should have scored more goals in the first half, Rubin scored. In the second half, Dynamo remained in the minority, everyone thought that the game was in the hands of Rubin, but Dynamo turned the match around. Fighting draw. It was lucky that Rubin was able to bounce back at the end of the match. And so everything is natural. Rubin did not let Dynamo play to their strengths, but in the second half they relaxed and paid the price.

– It seemed that everything was in the hands of Rubin, but they missed the victory. Will it affect the head coach?

– The result of the game with Dynamo is good for Kazan. But Rubin plays depressingly, it’s a sad sight. Therefore, the result in the match with Dynamo can be called positive. How will the leadership proceed? If they want to engage in masochism, then, of course, Rakhimov will still work. “Rubin” played a draw, the management will say: “Well, okay, we’ll give them time.” Rubin will lose the next game, they will say: “Here’s another game for you.” And he will win again. So they will hurt each other. There is no stability in the game. Yes, they show emotional football, but the team does not have systemic football.

– In the games with Krylya Sovetov and Dynamo, did you notice any progress in the work of the coaching staff?

“Now it’s hard for the players and the coaching staff. Therefore, they try to give all the best to the maximum, but how long is this enough? In addition, in such a rhythm, they will begin to get injured, and this will be a very unpleasant situation. But everything goes to this, because they play on the veins, not showing football – only emotions. It is difficult and will eventually lead to disaster. There is no stable game, the Tatarstan government is not counting on such a result. Rejoicing at a point at home with Dynamo is not a thing for a team like Rubin, ”Metaratings.ru quotes Popov.
