The head coach of the Soviet wings Igor Osinkin shared his opinion on his team’s match against Spartak in the Russian Cup (0: 1).
We’ve done everything we can, but we can’t interact better in this lineup yet. Too little time together, forced to vary the scheme. See how many permutations during the game. It’s hard to expect a solid match in this situation, but we fought, we didn’t fail this match. Somewhere they could have hoped for a draw, but I admit that Spartak were much better.
Immediately in the second half? It is necessary to look again at the moment, there has been a loss of the ball. Quick attack, not all done in an organized way. There are details in every ball taken, we will leave them inside the team. There are people who have not finalized. I would like to mention a couple of rookies who have not played a single second before, some have debuted in the Premier League. Georgy Zotov only trained at the club for a couple of weeks. Sure, his form of him is anything but the one that allows you to play with good intensity, but he did a great game. They watched a lot of guys, checked people in other positions. During the game I had to make unforced substitutions, I really don’t want to lose anyone else.
Yuri Gorshkov’s replacement took place due to malaise. They could have freed Roman Yezhov, but they didn’t dare. He missed the game with Fakel 10 days ago due to the same injury, it’s only been three days since the game with Akhmat, so it was difficult.
