- Was there a coach on the bench? - Ruslan Pimenov was even a little confused after the question of whether the absence of the disqualified Kobelev on the bench prevented him. But then he gathered his thoughts. - Yes, of course, I felt uncomfortable. But he came to us before the match, and during the break.
- Swearing?
- No, I sorted the game in moments.
The author of the Dynamo goal took to the street, bypassing the mixed zone. Apparently, he wanted to outwit everyone. But he, of course, did not succeed.
- You do not know how much CSKA have already scored? - one of the journalists asked.
- And how much?
- And we do not know.
The conversation did not stick. Pimenov spoke shortly and too correctly. For example, like this:
- During the break of the championship we will work on the mistakes and draw the right conclusions.
Fans of the teams showed rare unanimity, especially in the anti-Spartak roll call “Moscow - without meat”. In addition, the army team posted an incomprehensible banner in support of an unknown person. Surely later we find out what he meant.
Alexander Smirnov, replacing Kobelev on the bench, was in a good mood, but at the press conference he was also surprised by the brevity (apparently, talkative people are not accepted to the club).
- Did you keep in touch with Andrei Kobelev?
“Yeah,” the coach nodded. - Telepathic.
“Kobelev, by the way, really liked the podium,” said one of the Dynamo employees. - You see everything, calmly advising assistants what changes to make. Nervous less.
But according to another source that deserves even more trust, the coach of the blue-white did not like the new place at all. And he does not wait until he is allowed to return to the edge.
Kobelev, probably, envied Valery Gazzayev, who calmly walked around the technical zone, sometimes even interceded for her to tell the players where to run, and the referee how to whistle.
By the way, the army club coach, analyzing an unexpected draw, said nothing at all about Guus Hiddink. But he said the lawn:
“Yesterday I watched the Khimki-Kuban match,” he suddenly said. - I think playing on such fields is a crime before football. We take good athletes, but the quality of the field does not correspond to them.
Evgeni Giner on the way to the locker room fiercely dialed a number on his mobile. If you get through, then in the next round, the army team will definitely win.
