- In general, remember, - goalkeeper Ilya Bliznyuk set up partners right after the head coach said his words. - We start to play from the first minute. And then again, start with the fifth.
Someone answered him.
- What are you, young? - the goalkeeper was indignant. - Where did you play? A hundred matches for Pakhtakor?
On the bench "Chernomorets" was quiet. Zlatko Yankov, a formerly famous footballer and participant in the World Cup 94, specified the roster of Rostov and tried to find out who posed the main threat to his team. Yankov in Burgos is not the head coach, but only one of the assistants. But judging by the issues, ambitious.
- Do you have Serbs on the team?
- Krushchich.
Yankov sighed, realizing the complete absurdity of his own question (why did he need Serbs, he didn’t understand himself), asked him to be entered into the protocol under number 12, but he was not going to. He joked. Having written down the composition of Rostovites, Zlatko dropped the pen. She was immediately picked up by a Turkish stadium worker and carried away without saying anything. Seeing this, the Rostov massage therapist took off his jacket from the tree and carried it to the bench. Another Turkish resident looked at the Russian in surprise.
“They'll drag me away,” the massage therapist explained to the Turk.
The Turkish resident was even more amazed.
“No, I'm not talking about you,” the Rostovite was embarrassed. But he still took the jacket.
In the 4th minute of the match, Martin Horac crashed into an opponent with all his might, so much so that the latter was pumped out for a long time.
“Don't sit down! ..” Bliznyuk shouted from his gate.
“We sit down, we don’t sit down,” Maxim Buznikin repeated quietly, losing the ball near someone else's penalty area.
Where they sat down remained a mystery. The match was held in the same vein, without visible changes.
- Have you ever put the ball on the near post? - Sergey Balakhnin was indignant when the ball flew the whole field for the third time after a corner kick.
Football, in the usual sense of the word, was not. There were clashes. The Turkish referee made strange decisions.
Suddenly, after losing the ball to Viestica, Horak fell.
- What are you doing?! he cried.
If there was a fight, then “Rostov” could be safely ranked among the contenders for medals. But nothing happened.
- What are you doing? - Mikhail Osinov came running.
- What are you all doing? - exclaimed Bochkov, who also came running to find out who was doing what.
- Hey, listen, finish the bazaar! - shouted Balakhnin from the edge. - Play soccer better.
Everyone instantly calmed down and continued.
One of the Bulgarian players crashed into Burchenko near the bench of Rostovites.
- Remember him! - shouted from the headquarters of Rostov. - Then you will answer. Number seven hit, do not forget. Seventh.
Burchenko did not have time to take revenge.
Iso Cañenda noted that he twice interrupted the team’s faithful attacks. He did not rise for a long time after the martial arts, and everyone on the field began to shout to the player who owned the ball: “Kill!”
During the break, a short debriefing took place.
“The village team came up against you,” said Sergey Balakhnin. - And what are you doing?
- Why aren’t we playing with our balls? someone thought on the Rostov bench. - After all, we agreed: time by their balls, time by ours.
Downed Dantsev.
“Here's a freak,” the footballer groaned, rubbing his bruised leg.
- This is the seventh, remember, the seventh! - again they started shouting from the Rostov bench.
The seventh was immediately replaced by the Bulgarians. He had too many bloodlines.
In the 59th minute, Viestica scored a goal. He became the only one in the match.
“Thanks to Bliznyuk,” he admitted.
- So Ilya was replaced. He was sitting on a bench.
- But as prompted!
Bliznyuk really controlled the game so that he drowned out Roman Gerus.
- Go ahead! ..
- Back! ..
How diverse are the tactical team building!
The match was visited by the famous Valery Ovchinnikov. Having followed the game a little, he began to talk with the coaches of Rostov. Nearby stood a man trying to watch football.
- Why are you standing there? Come closer, ”Bormann addressed him. And then, turning to the Rostovites, he introduced him to his comrade. - He has all the money. We do not let him out of our sight. In the evening he will leave somewhere, and we will follow him.
Ovchinnikov’s still. Yes, and Rostov, too.
