“I expect that without Cordoba, Krasnodar will lose points and fall lower in the RPL table” – Dyakov
Former Rostov defender Vitaly Dyakov admitted that he expects Krasnodar to lose points in the upcoming MIR matches of the Russian Premier League (RPL) due to the disqualification of striker John Cordoba.
After 17 rounds, Krasnodar tops the table with 35 points, while defending champion Zenit is second (33). One of the best scorers of the season, Bulls forward Cordoba was last week disqualified for three RPL matches and one suspended match for insulting the referees in the 16th round game with Ural.
— “Krasnodar” will begin to fall lower. Cordoba will now have a fairly long suspension, but he is the only striker in the team. Yes, there is young Koksharov, but Krasnodar’s playing system is not the same as it was years ago. The team is very dependent on Cordoba. Whether “Krasnodar” copes or not, I expect that the “bulls” will lose points,” Euro-Futbol.Ru quotes Dyakov as saying.
Watch live broadcasts of MIR RPL matches on the Match TV and MATCH PREMIER channels, websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
