“Expert Sportbox.ru Analyzes Strong-Willed Victory of Spartak Moscow and Defensive Issues in Match Against Krasnodar”

Needless to say, the teams had fun. Events would be enough for several matches. In general, both Spartak and Krasnodar made a lot of ridiculous mistakes in defense, which led to such a score.

Question to Galician

Let’s start with the guests. Krasnodar already has some kind of illness: they once again allow the opponent to win back from 0:2! It is not normal. Of course, this is largely due to problems in the defensive line. Especially here I am confused by the last missed ball. It seems that Vyacheslav Litvinov is the first on the ball there – well, take it out! And he began to put the case and eventually slipped and fell.

Of course, following the results of the match, Krasnodar may have questions about refereeing. The moments with the appointment of a penalty against the Bulls and an unassigned penalty on Spertsyan are controversial. However, let the commission decide these issues.

I admit that Kadi’s injury could also have affected the final result. Still, the Brazilian is Krasnodar’s key player in organizing the attack. In addition, while it was changed, there was a big pause in the game, which could knock the guests out of rhythm. However, to score three and still lose – it says a lot …

Here’s what’s interesting to me. Sergei Galitsky in an interview said that the result is not important for him, that he wants to see just beautiful attacking football performed by Krasnodar. We really see something similar from the team, but one question torments me. Does Galitsky really like such matches as today? Or like with Krylia and Lokomotiv — in general, when the team leads and plays productively, but in the end stupidly misses the victory. After all, without a result, the club will have neither fans nor good players.

Strange decisions of Abascal

Abascal, after a series of failures, went to a radical reshuffle in the line-up. However, his decisions raise questions. Three central defenders, plus Maslov and Prutsev in the support zone… It’s not very clear how to put pressure on the opponent with such shots. And this despite the fact that Zinkovsky, Zobnin, Promes, Nicholson are in the reserve. I messed up with the squad myself and corrected the situation during the match. The release of the substitutes greatly strengthened the game in attack.

But what Spartak did in defense is something! Especially the second goal… Where did you get this Duarte?! I understand that he is young and promising, but they paid a lot of money for him! And then he did something incredible.

Look, Batchy takes the ball in his own half and just throws it past the Spartak defender. It was necessary to put the body and foul: it is clear that there is no point in competing in speed! Duarte, on the other hand, first runs after Batchi, and then stops altogether. This is mind-boggling! For such a mistake, one should be removed from the game, but for some reason Abascal did not react in any way.

Of course, the fact that Spartak showed character does honor to the team. When else to show it, if not now, when the fight for medals becomes more and more aggravated with each round?
