Football is not limited to the scoreboard.
Young people with great potential
Gatskan himself noted a colleague in Chernikov’s rudeness. But if you take away the foolish fouls, of which the young man has a lot, you get a defender with a clean first pass and the ability to read the game. He will play on the second floor, boldly enter the selection. The potential is clear. Galitsky ran into the referee’s room after the match against Spartak – scandals with the “red-white” constantly flare up but Safonov played football.
The goalkeeper made 13 shots in two rounds, a record early in the season. I missed 6 goals, but Matvey is one of the heroes. The goalkeeper can play at this level for a long time. Spertsyan did not move to France, as is tradition for an Armenian, in the summer Eduard scored two goals and is ready to be the leader of the team. Olusegun knows what total poverty is, a diligent young Nigerian. A primitive version of Joaozinho, and the first in his youth in Krasnodar did a lot.
Newcomer Banyats is able to strengthen the team, although it is important that Watchman find him the right place in the scheme. The Serbian is just getting used to it, but he has good passes. A team with an average age of 23 always has a hidden surprise somewhere, even if the lineup has changed dramatically since the winter and the spring segment has moved on in character. Not all discoveries will be pleasant. Maybe Borodin will not become a defender of the base RPL. Sorokin is also disappointed, even though Yegor is stronger than his colleagues from the center of defense.
The loss of a slightly woody but untalented Kaio suggests buying a defender. But in Storozhuk there are much more young and promising, who in a month you may not recognize, they will add much more than veterans in crisis. Perhaps Cordoba was thinking of returning to Germany, judging by latest news. Petrov’s game hasn’t been going well for a long time. But closer to the base is a strong lateral Ramirez, and even Ionov can remember himself.
Nearby are Akhmetov or Suleymanov, who are not even 25 years old, you can work with each one personally. Some will surely disappoint, but this is a normal process. For example, Krasnodar invested a lot of effort in Ivan Ignatiev and it is good that Rubin gave a bag of money to the striker. And under extreme conditions, approaches need to be changed. Veterans and legionaries played against the Urals a year ago, they are in the past. Krasnodar is restarting. The staff is changing, the financial situation is uncertain, even if the worst has been avoided, the club has not been closed in the spring.
“Krasnodar” waited for the season without “buses”
It’s funny that in such a club they counted the adventurousness of the game, because only the original moves can help now. The rest of the favorites are not RPL harder. At the same time, the bet on “buses” starts. Newcomers are also bolder than their rivals expected of them. Krasnodar only needs to properly manage the developments of the last five or seven years since then RPL it has become more efficient.
The “citizens” together with “Rostov” are in the lead in terms of selection intensity. Semak, who does not like high selection in the formation of previous champions, also tends to change in favor of high pressure. Lokomotiv resumed play as soon as Rangnick arrived, a rare strategic advantage from the appearance of a German in Moscow. Spartak and Akhmat played well last season. There is no doubt that as soon as they disperse, they will revert to this style.
In CSKA the story is a bit different. Last season, Sochi Fedotov, like Dynamo Schwartz, loved to give away the ball. And Krasnodar, having played two difficult games, remained himself, his reputation did not change. Schematic transitions between “4-2-3-1” and “4-3-3”. It is no coincidence that Spertsyan has a ten on his back, betting on a player who with his set of characteristics will affect the tactics. But even with Ionov and Olusegun, and even with Cordoba, which moves worse than last season, the team is alive in high selection.
But low pressure is a big deal. Having spent so much effort studying “buses”, they haven’t learned the basics themselves. As soon as Spartak moved the game away from their goal, they achieved their goal. But not in all fights Chernikov retires: he has not yet gone to a psychologist, he only practices yoga, and the opponent does not always have Zobnin. Today Krasnodar will play away against Ural. Difficult exit. There will be teams that have chosen a high selection in the first few games and have lost points. Shalimov understands the opponent.
Point transfers and self-confidence will help
Doubts remained in the class of coach Storozhuk. He accidentally and forcibly appeared on the post. Abascal turned the tide of the second round meeting, even though there is a huge red spot in the background: a red card. In the minority football is different, it takes luck, the character will come in handy. Krasnodar is out of luck, they have a lot of stupid misfires. And there are not enough characteristic people: Safonov, Ionov and Spertsyan. But Chernikov must first calm down so that his fighting qualities are beneficial. So far, Krasnodar’s results are terrible. Fakel charged the working defense and Spartak scored four goals.
But there was no feeling that you were talking about a team that had already told everything, it would only get worse. On the contrary, we see many options for Krasnodar to return to victories. Firstly, Storozhuk is not the only mentor in the country. If a failure follows at the start of the season, it’s not worth waiting for the changes. Even Musaev was not ready to challenge Zenit and Semak, there was still no dream coach. Secondly, Krasnodar has a number of ready-made methods that can be used in the coming rounds. Spertsyan and Olusegun are live boys, they will disperse a couple of counterattacks after a medium selection.
Not the fact that it will be easy to carry the ball with Akhmetov and Banyats, as before. But the refusal of simple unnecessary steps does not always spoil Krasnodar. It is important that Petrov and Ramirez take responsibility. After the first two rounds, Krasnodar are among the worst teams by number of crosses. They are lower than Lokomotiv by almost two and a half times. The lack of width has a negative effect, but since neither this usual option, nor the standards at the gates of others have yet been fully used, they remain dangerous for rivals. “Worse than elsewhere” is an optimistic assessment.
Krasnodar will play against Ural, Lokomotiv and Dynamo. Complex but interesting calendar. It is very likely that if Safonov is thrown again at the mercy of the others, by September the team will have another manager. But that’s not always bad. The composition does not shine with legionnaires, but you can look for a defender and an attacker, they will come in handy. Safonov and Spetsyan believe in yourself but there aren’t enough coaching ideas yet. Storozhuk cannot be copied from Shalimov, who coaches Serie A through intuition and experience, like a football manager. The result depends on 40-year-old Alexander Aleksandrovich finding his own style. It is important, only success will keep the foremen in Krasnodar.
