Good tests before the “Zenith”.
Spartak took a cold shower last week. The team remained undefeated, played quite brilliantly and everyone started talking about the revival of that same Spartak Romantsev. Dynamo paid no attention to these conversations. The White-Blue defended themselves with great quality, Luka Gagnidze did the usual amount of work. And Tyukavin took advantage of Umyarov’s craziest mistake. Match to Voronezh – the necessary preparation for Guillermo Abascal’s wards before Zenit.
The “red-whites” must prepare for the match with the champion of the country
The class difference between Zenit and any other Premier League team is obvious: there is no club that would bring strong players with comparable regularity. Spartak will have to play with St. Petersburg in early September. Everyone remembers how the previous game ended. However, the Red-Whites now have what they lacked in the Super Bowl. The time has come to implement the new manager’s ideas into team play and practice to master them.
Guillermo Abascal’s wards have already shown that when it comes to positional attacks, they won’t give up on quick attacks. In free space, Muscovites act as before. There was a problem in the form of an injury to the “tens” -Moses, the coach put Mikhail Ignatov in his place. The young midfielder often dribbles, throws 2.7 key passes per game and has yet to fail. Quincy Promes functionality changedwhich allowed him to significantly increase effectiveness.
Against the backdrop of great success, Spartak needed a shake up: you can’t talk about walls and racing until you talk about stability from a distance. The meeting with Dinamo has fulfilled the necessary function, however, before the duel with Zenit, the defeat could have a negative impact: the Muscovites do not yet have solid foundations under their feet.
Abascal himself showed how players should react to the result in the sixth round:
See, if we hadn’t hit on the goal, then yeah, it could be said that something went wrong. But this was not the case. We just need to add precision and in the implementation of the moments. If the opponent is defending in front of the goal, this is his decision. We have to be better in this situation too. I am sure we will be better off with the work we do. I would like to note how the team reacted to the mistake, how I wanted to support. They said, “Come on, come on, Nail.” This is a very important point.
The game with “Torch” in such conditions is very welcome. In Voronezh, Spartak can recover from an unexpected slap, to show that the team has not forgotten how to play and there is no moral decline. “Torch” gravitates towards a double-edged open game: Muscovites take advantage of it. They can create many chances in the opponent’s goal. In the event of a confident victory and with Zenit, the Muscovites will not come out with trembling legs. Spartak are already starting to adopt Guillermo’s principles, so this time they won’t feel damp.
Fakel makes the most of his matches
The prediction of the outcome is hampered by the lack of understanding of the state of Spartak after the defeat. You can call Muscovites meeting favorites due to the state and lively start. However, Voronezh’s team has already shown that they can upset even such opponents (draws with Krasnodar and Dynamo). In addition, the match will take place on their pitch, where Oleg Vasilenko’s wards play outright.
The team is determined to achieve results through character, but at the same time not to lose the feeling of joy of being in the elite division – this allows us to understand the comment of Fakel manager Oleg Vasilenko after the draw with Dinamo:
It was a football vacation. We should have fun, but we wanted to win. We have character, we brought this game out and we had a number of moments. Now we understand that we are filling in the bumps. I hope we have already stuffed them. We create chances, we manage the game, but we can’t help but score for ourselves. We all want to win, we have a distinctive team and players who love to play football and deserve to be there RPL. Everything will be fine for us: the important thing is not to make mistakes in simple situations.
“Torch”, it would seem, minimally intensified under the exit RPL. At the same time, at the start, the players available also show that they can prove themselves at the Premier League level. Roman Akbashev has become the main option in the team’s attack: he takes control of the game, often makes a shot (2.3 shots per game) and at the same time is one of the players with the most passes.
Another backbone of Voronezh is striker Khyzyr Appaev. He is more likely than anyone else to participate in riding martial arts and at the same time adds sophistication to the “Torch” in attack actions. In the match with Dinamo, Khyzyr, along with Alshin, tore the flank of Sergei Parshivlyuk.
Andrey Mendel and Aslan Dashaev are good at defensive actions. Clip and teamwork enough for do not fail at the level of the Russian Premier League.
Forecast Soccer.it: Both teams play offensive football and leave free space. Spartak has shown that with such rivals they show themselves from the best side. Dynamo managed to score 3 points against the red and white just for the tight game of the defense. Fakel can choose the same plan, but the player selection is not the same. Wards of Oleg Vasilenko can surprise the opponent and will surely score against Spartak. But I rather believe in a confident victory for the guests.
