Fans of Lokomotiv gathered for this match almost in full force (that is, everyone who felt sympathy for the club in this rather big city came), but they lost one by one to the Dynamo sector, which collected twice as many votes.
Blue and white were louder and meaner. More than once they began to chant slogans offensive to the opponent, flavored by obscene language. It got to specific players: Sychev, Loskov. And Dynamo showed offensive banner for Loko, a reminder: "1980-1986 - the first league." A steam locomotive was painted and painted in club colors on a poster.
Guests did not come up with anything worthwhile. For some reason, they hung a huge banner with the inscription "Forza". There are no Italians in Lokomotiv. I'm afraid that many red-green players do not understand what this word means.
After the match, Valery Filatov flew into the locker room and smashed the Lokomotiv players. But the question of exactly what he was saying there remained unanswered.
“He just put us in the first number,” one of the players explained. - And what exactly was said, I do not remember. It was clear that he was unhappy.
“I don’t know what conclusions the management will make,” goalkeeper coach Zaur Hapov shrugged. - Yes, and is it necessary to fine for the defeat? Expel someone ... The guys themselves know what they did. And now they must be corrected.
- Why are you coming to me? - exclaimed Vadim Evseev, barely saw the journalists rushing towards him. - Go to Dynamo. I won’t say anything.
Dmitry Sychev and the anti-hero of the meeting, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, refused to be interviewed. And Garria O'Connor was beside himself with anger:
- What is happening to us ?! he almost screamed. - I dont know. But it turns out that a team fighting for survival comes out more motivated than a club that claims to be a champion. It’s hard for me to explain.
But most of all, after the game, the head coach of the railway workers Oleg Dolmatov was struck. There was a complete feeling that he was in prostration.
- Why did Bilyaletdinov hit the penalty spot? - asked him.
- And who should beat? - the trainer spread his hands. - I do not know who the team is a full-time penalty shooter.
- Why did you replace Marat Izmailov so early?
- He didn’t look good at the last training. But Marat promised that he would play well. I believed and put it.
And the best explanation for the sensational result was invented by Alexey Smertin. Answering a question about the reasons for the positive changes in the team’s game, he issued:
- You know, it’s enough to drive the Russians into a dead end, and then they begin to get out of a difficult situation.
Did Danny, Derley, Fernandez, Karchemarskas and Romashchenko, who brought the club victory, received Russian passports?
