If we take emotions out of the equation, many considered Krylia Sovetov’s position at the top of the standings to be accidental, but Igor Osinkin’s team again proved that it deservedly ranks among the leaders.

Even with the loss of Lomaev, Samara’s goalkeeping line did not weaken. Ovsyannikov adequately replaced the main goalkeeper. If we compare him with Maksimenko, he now looks even better than the Spartak goalkeeper.

A similar picture is observed in the defensive line. Evgeniev and Soldatenkov are the best pair of central defenders in the RPL WORLD. It was not for nothing that Evgeniev was once called up to national teams for different ages. Dynamo probably already regrets this transfer, and to buy it back will now require millions.

The full-backs also look beyond praise. Gorshkov is one of the best left-back positions in the entire championship. The double against Spartak once again proved this.

Abascal is constantly criticized for his inability to guess with the starting lineup. This is true. Do they think there at Spartak that Duarte is stronger than Dzhikia? Nonsense! Two left-footed defenders in central defense are normal. It doesn’t matter which foot is dominant in football players. They came up with nonsense!

Unlike the Spaniard, Osinkin works with players at a qualitatively different level. He revived Rasskazov’s career. Spartak couldn’t do anything with him. And Garre is incredible, he is no weaker than Promes. The Samara player can play on the flank, under the attackers, and even as a pure forward. Excellent technique and a great last pass. If not for injuries, he would have made more effective actions.

The entire midfield of the “red and whites” acted disgustingly. Moses and Zobnin were completely invisible on the field, as if they did not exist. Martins also did not stand out in anything special. “Wings” simply outplayed this midfield in everything: in pressing, in organizing defense and attack, in physical preparation. Bongonda and Moses were worthy of going to the bench at half-time.

But at “Wings” Saltykov is a handsome guy! He passes, scores, and generally plays with maturity and confidence beyond his years. He has everything to become a high-class football player.

In the episode with the first goal, Krylya Sovetov easily escaped the pressure. Saltykov and Gorshkov found themselves together against Denisov alone. Where were Bongonda and Zobnin? They walked. This is a gross violation of gaming discipline! Saltykov carried the ball almost from the center of the field, and no one met him, just mediocre pressure. Poor Denisov didn’t know what to do.

The second goal is very similar to the previous one. This time, however, Bongonda still came running, but he was of no use in the penalty area. He only imitated selection. Gorshkov easily beat him and shot Maksimenko. The Spartak goalkeeper simply had no chance.

The second half also did not change anything in Spartak’s game. “Wings” could score more than four. Shitov’s goal summed up the defeat. Vladislav should not have run to the empty goal, but simply walked up, turned his back and scored with his heel so that they would laugh at Spartak all season.

After such a defeat, Abaskal must come to the leadership and resign. This is not a disaster, this is a disgrace for Spartak!
