We’re studying it carefully.
Goalkeeper
Nikita Medvedev (“Paris NN”)
It’s clear that Paris NN’s defenders played a significant role in Krasnodar’s defeat, as discussed below. Medvedev, however, suffered a defeat in the first round. The Bulls weren’t in good form; in the first half, the Nizhny Novgorod side generally held the advantage. Therefore, even a 0:1 lead at halftime didn’t seem so daunting. So far, the southerners haven’t been able to win. Nikita lost the second goal and didn’t have time to return the ball (here’s the collective fault, the defender also made a mistake with the pass). Medvedev certainly can’t play to his advantage.
Defenders
Ilya Vahatania (“Rostov”)
The defender lost the duel with Louis Enrique; the Brazilian did everything he wanted in his zone. He sent it into the penalty area, after which he equalized for Zenit, then threw it to Drekushich after the penalty area. The cross hit the crossbar. In the second half, he met a counterattack – only this winger slipped. It was Ilya who did a lot of serious work.
Viktor Alexandrov (“Paris NN”)
One of the perpetrators of Krasnodar’s crushing defeat. “Paris NN” was a match, in the first half, they could have opened the account. But it was the “Bulls” – Costa gained the upper hand after the right presentation to Aleksandrov. In the second half, the hosts showed the same motivation. The team had a chance to salvage at least a draw. Viktor’s second mistake was a shot under pressure – after a simple pass from the “Bulls” half, under pressure, he tried to pass it to the goalkeeper, but sent the ball into the goal. Viktor Mereyokhin (“Rostov”)
The defender of the Southerners seemed not to go to the game. Often he lost the player he took care of – so he allowed Kascerre, he was lost on the flank in the episode of the penalty on Enrique. The goalkeeper had to folate him, because no one was covering the winger. As a result, Zenit made the 11-yarder, escaped forward and engineered a willful victory.
Kirill Zaika (“Sochi”)
Loko could win with a bigger score, but until the end the ball did not enter the goal. Zaika couldn’t do anything with the players in his zone. Already in the seventh minute from his flank a dangerous serve in the distance went. Then he did not have time for Komlichenko in an episode with a counterattack and Batrakov’s blow. He remained in a stranger’s half when Rudenko burst into the penalty area and almost won a penalty. The southerners missed three times in the last 10 minutes, and Zaika first lost Rudenko’s fight, then rushed between Bakaev and Rudenko. Zelimhan’s goal was not his fault, but Cyril acted extremely uncertain.
Midfielders
Mamada Mayga (“Paris nn”)
The defense of “Paris nn” in general at one point turned into a passing court with the “minus” sign managed to distinguish between the opponent from Nizhny Novgorod Mamada Mayga. If the second goal is the fault of Aleksandrov and Medvedev, the third midfielder of the hosts personally gave the third to the “bulls”. When Cordoba encounters pressure, you need to act as carefully as possible, but Mayga threw the ball forward, giving John Space. Additionally – Performance skills.
Khussem Mrezegue (Dynamo Makhachkala)
He participated in defensive work, but at the same time was invisible and made mistakes at key points. The “red and white” could have scored more, especially when Solari beat Hussem, but the ball went wide. And then, when the Muscovites did break forward, the Makhachkalin midfield lost Umiyarov’s cross.
Bogdan Yochich (“Rubin”)
Kazan won, but their midfield didn’t get into the rhythm of the match and was yellow-carded. A rather poor performance from a Serbian football player.
Forward
Moomi Ngamaleo (“Dynamo”)
The “blue and white” started the season and split the score with the Baltic. The team had major problems offensively. One of the few who took the game on himself and posed a threat was Yaroslav Gladyshev. On the opposite flank, he was completely invisible to Ngamaley. Terrible numbers – The legionnaire didn’t land a single blow on the Kaliningraders’ goal.
Ivan Sergeev (Dynamo)
Ivan simply blended into the pitch for 90 minutes of the match against the Baltic Sea and didn’t bring Dynamo to the finish. There was little clarity on his part, and Dynamo’s only goal came from a corner. The goal scorer wasn’t someone from the forward line, but Kasseres’s defensive end.
Dmitry Pestryakov (“Akron”)
Youth is almost always synonymous with instability. Dmitry has opened up for his home team, but has yet to get involved in the rhythm of the game. The winger’s defense didn’t give the winger any free space; he was marked by a shot on target in the first half, but after that, he was lost. Pestryakov also put the ball under pressure on Lonchara, the opponents managed to attack, and the guests dispersed the fiery attack.
Head Coach
Alexey Spilevsky (“Paris nn”)
It’s difficult to play attacking football when there aren’t enough players of the appropriate level. Paris Saint-Germain has a rather weak lineup by Premier League standards, so for Shpilevsky, who has developed as a coach at Leipzig, this is a tough test. And against Krasnodar, he didn’t show any coaching flexibility. The team flew forward – and it had a certain effect. The problem is that the quality of the players didn’t allow for successful defensive training. The team lacked concentration, scored a stupid second goal themselves, and received the third after a brutal mistake. Shpilevsky couldn’t influence the outcome of the game.
The heartbreak of the week. Superior for the updated Akhmat.
The best example of transfers.
– Not always a guarantee of results. The squad strengthened significantly during the offseason: they added Mansilla and Cacinter to the attacking group, fired Cavalier, acquired N’dong and Sidorov, and increased the depth of the squad. But in the first match, they lost to a “Ruby” team. For Akhmat, if the team draws conclusions, it’s even better – the defeat will help them get rid of false hopes and focus on finding working combinations.
