Dick Lawyer: “I only know that CSKA is the champion”

Near Moscow “Saturn” again played a draw. And his rival, St. Petersburg “Zenith”, was very pleased with this result. After all, it was he who reached the quarterfinal of the Cup of Russia. And only the local fans and Vladimir Weiss lost their temper.

Ramenskoye fans from the category of "ultras" got only one sector. St. Petersburg "dressers" took four and, as always, impressed with excellent support. Divide the “Saturn” and “Zenith”, in principle, nothing. It is all the more surprising that the owners began impolitely clinging to the guests.

They shouted, and what Zenit should do (obscene), and how to deal with it (also obscene), and much more. Petersburgers were perplexed, but answered with a "goofy village" and a few times chanted words that offended goalkeeper Alexei Botvinyev. He was called the same as Valery Gazzayev. The goalkeeper should be pleased.

The situation was nervous, and its owners escalated. Their head of the security service said something to Alexander Anyukov, for which he immediately received a ball in the head from a football player. And he got off easily.

Vladimir Weiss has never been so harsh at press conferences for all his time at Saturn.

“We made primitive mistakes,” he resented, and even personally named the guilty, which is not accepted in principle. - The responsibility for the goal lies with Igonin and Gogua.

Gogita Gogua, by the way, could leave the field in the first half - after a clash with Vladislav Radimov. Georgian legionnaire received a strong blow to the ankle. On the edge he stood up, demanded freezing, tried to jerk, fell again, demanded freezing again and still went to play when the doctors had already signaled a replacement.

- “Zenith” is not a village for you, ”Weiss attacked the journalist, who aloud noticed that“ Saturn ”did not play very well. - You can play with him in a draw.

After the final whistle, Dick Advocaat became calm and confident, although minutes earlier he was trying to run out onto the field and teach the referee Alexander Gvardis (who judged ideally A.Sh.), who, in his opinion, made the wrong decision.

- The most difficult of the three matches with “Saturn” was the first, - said the Dutchman. - Although others also stood out stubborn.

- What are the chances of “Saturn” in this championship? - asked the lawyer.

“Now I only know that CSKA is the champion,” the coach smiled. - It's too early to talk about chances - the championship has just begun.

St. Petersburg players came out of the locker room as expected - proudly bearing the title of the richest team in the country.

Andrei Arshavin grimaced in response to a request for an interview as if he had been asked for a loan. Apparently, the beginning of the party career left a deep imprint on the young man. A mixed zone is not a place for political discussions.

Vladislav Radimov also refused to speak. He was unnaturally sad.

Alexander Gorshkov, who scored the decisive goal, stopped for a couple of minutes to pay tribute to the opponent and say that he had three serious matches.

Twenty Million Dollars (Anatoly Timoshchuk) also did not refuse to comment on the meeting, noting that the whole team had read interviews with Saturn players, who certainly wanted to win.

“They would go out on the field and prove it,” he said.

There was a feeling that the match with “Saturn” was only to come for the Ukrainian.
