Former Spartak footballer Yegor Titov was outraged that striker Alexander Sobolev played on the flanks in the 13th round match of the MIR RPL with Fakel.

On Saturday, the “red-whites” lost away to Voronezh “Fakel” in the 13th round of the MIR RPL with a score of 0:2. Guillermo Abascal’s team is fourth in the standings with 20 points from 13 games.

— Spartak knew that it had been raining in Voronezh for a long time. We walked around the field and were convinced that it was terrible. They had time to change something – an hour and a half, if not more. Why not adjust the composition? It is known that in such weather conditions it is necessary to simplify the game. Play longer and play tall players like Martins, for example.

I also have a question: why does Sobolev run along the edges all the time? I saw the man who played the only striker on the flanks throughout the first half. It caught my eye. “Fakel” played more on the left flank, 70 percent, “Spartak” – on the right. And for some reason Sobolev kept shifting. I don’t know, maybe there was such a special installation. But when you play as one forward, the forward must be in his place all the time. Especially in this weather. And Sobolev, in any conditions, wins most of the martial arts, both above and below. And two insiders should open under his discounts. The game needed to be simplified. The lawn, of course, interfered with the game of small and medium passes. The art of a coach lies in being able to adapt to each situation. I don’t see Abaskal having time to do this yet.

Andrei Tikhonov said correctly: in Spartak and at the base we had such fields in the fall and spring. We were already accustomed and did not dream of such fields as we have now. It’s great that today there are such stadiums and ideal lawns. But there are times when weather conditions intervene, “Championship” quotes Titov.
