“It’s not without reason that Abaskal made substitutions” – Bubnov revealed the secret of Spartak’s victory over Fakel

Sportbox.ru expert analyzes the match of the 6th round of the WORLD RPL Fakel – Spartak.

In general, Spartak put pressure on Fakel throughout the entire match, but in the first half it was not possible to bring things to really dangerous moments. And then the Voronezh team were lucky to score, and they endured until the break.

The problems of the “red-whites” in the attack were connected with the players in the middle line, who dropped out a little. I’m talking about Ignatov and Umyarov. Creativity was required from both of them, but they could not give it. Because of this, all Spartak’s raids on the Fakel gates remained just approaches.

Abascal made substitutions at half-time for a reason. With the release of Zinkovsky and Chernov, as well as the transfer of Litvinov to the support zone, the team played in a completely different way. By quickly scoring two goals, Spartak gained an advantage. Now it was possible to play by the score and take advantage of the fact that the “Torch” is revealed. In general, playing against teams like Voronezh is always easier. Especially if you have fast forwards like Promes or Zinkovsky.

However, in this match Spartak showed not only the ability to counterattack. Two goals were scored with good long-range shots. It is always a dangerous weapon if the opponent sits deep. Zobnin and Denisov were aiming, because the defense, which had gone too low, allowed them to prepare these blows.

I will also note the game of Alexander Maksimenko. Today, the goalkeeper of the “red-whites” looked quite confident, and once he literally saved his team. Shamar Nicholson, on the other hand, seems to be sitting tight on the bench this season. At the same time, I would not say that Sobolev is in some way radically stronger than his Jamaican counterpart. Perhaps he is just in better physical shape, which means he can press more actively.

Zhurova believes that PSG has no problems with Safonov and Zabarny

French team Paris Saint-Germain shouldn’t have any problems as the Russians play on the same team Matveya Safonov and Ukrainian Ilya Zabarny. This opinion was expressed by the Olympic speed skating champion, deputy of the State Duma Svetlana Zhurova.

Previously, Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Matvey Bedny he called on the French club to resolve the situation, which, in his opinion, is inconvenient.

“All soccer players are professionals,” Zhurova said. “In my opinion, this situation is inconvenient only for Ukrainian officials, who constantly try to add fuel to the fire PSGnor did the players themselves express any complaints or report any discomfort. Accordingly, there is nothing to fix here. The club itself knows how to do better.”

Zabarny moved to PSG last summer. Safonov has been playing for the Parisians since last season.
