Do not understand, for the good of “Spartacus” the second consecutive defeat of “Inter” or evil. The next two matches in the Champions League red and white will need to be held sequentially with this club - first in Milan, then in Moscow, and with the “steering wheel” in the points earned, the already mysterious “Inter” becomes completely unpredictable.
With Spartak, however, is not much clearer. “How many points do you need to create to score more?” - Izvestia correspondent pressed Moscow captain Titov on a sore spot. This was, of course, after the match with Sporting, in which the red and white had a weighty advantage, but did not hold back the victory. “Boyarintsev would have my left foot - it’s very short at most ... He would have earned and scored this pass from Quincy,” Titov seemed to be talking about something of his own. About his left foot. In fact, he simply remembered one of the many scoring episodes of the match, which had happened in the added minutes. Quintessentially replacing Quincy rolled the perfect ball into the Portuguese penalty area from the flank, and Boyarintsev, to whom this pass was intended, could not really earn it. And Titov believed that with long legs it would be easier for a partner to catch on at that moment.
It's a pity. The Spartak problem stuck in my teeth - it’s clear that the unforgivably low realization of goal scoring episodes - this time might not have affected the final result. The defense of the red and white was once debugged. Geder was striking in his impeccability: in previous matches, the Brazilian newcomer still sinned by the lack of understanding with his partners. The stands chanted: "Roma Shishkin!" - the young defender, slowly but surely crowding out Clement Rodriguez from the main squad, also looked great. In a word, in such a game, with an advantage in the ball and the defense catching courage, “Spartak” seemed to be able to afford free treatment with scoring chances. The twin-core Bystrov and the wise Titov, who regularly aggravated the game, will not be offended by such negligence - the main thing is a victory, right? And she did not seem to run away.
And so, they forgot to cross themselves. Somewhere half an hour before the end, “Sporting” launched an assists attack, under which he used the entire half of the “Spartak” field. A total of five people participated. Almost everything was done in touch. No snacks per fool: everything is down, everything is in medium and short gears. High speed, amazing accuracy.
“They rejoiced at this draw like children, although initially they came here with three points. Yes, in fact, they are children. The half-teams are twenty-year-olds,” Yegor Titov could not hide the after-match irritation. It is understandable: a missed victory, melting chances before our eyes to leave the group ... In such a situation, both the length of Boyarintsev’s left leg and the opponent’s milky age can act on nerves - whatever. “The main thing is to get together for the matches against Inter,” the Spartak captain gives himself an installation. “How much, Gazzaev says, need to score eight points for the playoffs? I basically agree with him. That is, we can still do this to do it. But if we lose points in Milan - then, of course, there will be no chance. "
Midfielder of “Spartak” Denis Boyarintsev: “After a missed goal, we ran around the field like lost”
Denis Boyarintsev, both the hero and antihero of the match against Sporting, answered the questions of Izvestia correspondent Chermen Dzgoev after the game.
Question: How did you manage to score such a goal?
answer: And there it was impossible to play in a different way: there is no time for processing, there is no one to give a pass ... Well, I hit, I hit well.
Q: And then what - didn’t hit? The moments were more comfortable ...
A: In the first half, too, the moment was more of luck, I did not use it. And in the second - just a technical marriage. I wanted to put the ball under my left foot, but I had to with one touch.
Q: Do you mean the moment when Quincy gave the transfer?
A: Yes, he gave an ideal pass, of course ... And then I had a few more shots on goal today. The accuracy was not enough.
Q: Why are you even more likely than others to threaten the goal of Sporting? Is this your task? Not Roman Pavlyuchenko?
A: Well, from the position of the left midfielder I constantly move to the tip. Not only in this game. And today Roma began to win almost all the riding balls in the penalty area, and I opened under it. And he was rewarded with several good points.
Q: Before a goal conceded from the stands, it seemed that Spartak should not have any problems in this match. For football, this goal was also a revelation?
A: After we missed, we ran around the field for a while as lost. We can’t say that we did not expect such agility from the “Sporting” - nevertheless, we were preparing for the match seriously and the Portuguese won over the “Inter” constantly in mind. But the goal of Sporting didn’t really follow from the logic of the game, so we didn’t even realize what had happened. And when they realized it was too late.
Q: In the locker room shouted at each other?
A: No, a few reproaches to each other for unrealized moments - and, in fact, that's all. In working order. And coach Fedotov thanked for the game, he did not scold anyone. Because today we played well. They didn’t score a lot - that’s a shame.
Q: Poor implementation - is this, apparently, the main problem of Spartak?
A: Definitely. Even with Bayern, which we lost 0-4, beat Spartak first, and hell knows how it would turn out. I’m silent about today's match.
Q: This can be reformulated as follows: “Spartak” did not buy an attacker during the re-applications, is it paying for it now?
A: I would not like to emphasize: a striker is not a striker ... I am not a striker, but I also have moments. You need to score, no matter who you are.
Q: Yegor Titov, who was also asked this question, said: he is provocative, Spartak should be played by those who are available ...
A: Well, he is right: you have to play with those who are available.
Q: And what are the current ambitions for Spartak? Still going to leave the group?
about: Naturally. We still have how many matches, I don’t remember? .. Four? Here in them and try to score points.
