ABOUT THE BUILDER SLUTSKY
I really liked the match between Lokomotiv and Moscow - the most spectacular and interesting on this tour. But after the game, there was one incomprehensible moment to me. I have known Leonid Slutsky for a long time, and this year for the first time he had the opportunity to declare himself as a great coach. What does he use. But I was surprised by his words about Hector Bracamonte and Isaac Okoronkvo replaced during the game. Leonid said that these players are of fundamental importance for his team, and that after they left the team crumbled. Well, how can players be indispensable? How can you build a game on irreplaceable players? The coach’s task is to rebuild the team so that it does not crumble even in the absence of the best players. In the second half, “Moscow” was really different for about twenty minutes, but this did not happen because of the aforementioned injuries, but because “Lokomotiv” began to play better. In those minutes, Loko could score several times and win the match.
ABOUT PSYCHOTHERAPIST SHUNINA
The match “Ray” - “Dynamo” was interesting to me for work. Now, white and blue are based on four youth team players at once - goalkeeper Anton Shunin, brothers Kombarov and Volodya Granat. In Vladivostok, the goalkeeper played the best of the four. This was just Shunin’s second match at the base, but he played it in such a way that I personally now have no doubt who will defend the goal in the next Dynamo game. The first pancake of Anton came out lumpy. In the last round, he made his debut and immediately received a handsome goal from Tikhonov. But that was for the better: Anton was seriously angry and began to play more attentively. In Vladivostok, he showed most of his best qualities. One of them is the skillful choice of position in the goal. Perhaps Luch didn’t have enough luck - how many one-on-one exits did they have? But at least half of the misses of the “Ray” was provoked by Shunin's competent game. In my opinion, Anton is more suitable for Dynamo defense than Karchemarskas. Zhydrunas is too emotional, and Dynamo now needs a goalkeeper who will calm the defense. This is what the cold-blooded Shunin will do.
ABOUT THE PRIVILEGES OF A FOREIGN COACH
The main question of this season: what is happening with Saturn? Weiss has a team with which he can be at least six, and they hang out at the bottom of the table. I think the point here is the coach - how else to explain that the team does not succeed. A Russian coach in a similar situation would have long been fired. And everyone expects something from a foreigner. You can talk for a long time about CSKA’s high class, Zhirkov’s talent, but even against such an opponent, Saturn should not have looked so helpless.
ABOUT “ZENITH” IN EUROPE
Petersburgers in Tomsk frankly rebounded. They won only thanks to eminent players. But Zenit still has no set game, not to mention the so-called “champion game”. There is only a result. Zenit is still counting on winning the championship and could theoretically win it. Or get into the Champions League from second place - again in the classroom. But if the Petersburgers didn’t have a game by that time, then any incomprehensible team in Europe will tear them to pieces.
