At the Streltsov Stadium, something strange sometimes happens. The head of the security service forbade journalists to go to the press box from the press center by the shortest route, although before that everything was fine. What for? For whose safety were they guarded?
This happens at all Russian stadiums: suddenly some people come to the forefront who need to create the appearance of work. First of all, it concerns various security services. And, of course, the police.
The coach of the Russian national team Guus Hiddink looked absolutely amazing on the podium. Who was he watching? For Nastya Cech? Or was there no reason to look into Ramenskoye, at the meeting of Saturn and Lokomotiv?
There were much more fans of the Moscow Region team who “broke through” the desperate departure than the hosts. “Moscow” was not helped even by a small orchestra, which, due to the cold (or, perhaps, with an unsuccessful score), only delayed a couple of times: “Moscow, the bells are ringing”.
It should be noted that the culture of pain "citizens" has grown significantly. Despite 0: 2 and the fact that the hosts did not succeed, no one ever shouted: "Petrakov!"
Moreover, fans of the team of Leonid Slutsky exerted stronger pressure on the coach of the guests Vladimir Kazachenko. As soon as a visitor near Moscow ran out to the edge, he was immediately "seated" back.
- Anton, ....... what are you doing? Back! Shouted Kazachenok.
- Hey, where did you come from? What are you cursing? Here the children are sitting! - the fans responded immediately.
Is it worth recalling that Kazachenok came from St. Petersburg?
True, the Khimki coach did not swear at a press conference. And in general, judging by his appearance, the team did not acquire three points, but lost.
“We got a very substantial first half,” Kazachenok admitted sadly, but then decided to step back a bit from the team. - I mean the players. And then the guys subconsciously kept the winning score.
The trainer was asked to comment on the situation with Vladimir Beschastnykh, who was unexpectedly expelled from the club, for which he did a lot.
“As a person, I have no complaints about him,” the Kazachenok assured him too hastily. And immediately it became clear that there are complaints.
“But every football player has a ceiling,” the coach suddenly remembered another argument. - Apparently, Vladimir reached him. But he failed to reach the previous level.
It should be noted that Khimki has some very high requirements.
Leonid Slutsky made two confessions that will add points to him in the piggy bank called "reputation". Firstly, he was the first among all the coaches to take the blame for the defeat.
- Probably, I was mistaken with the choice of tactics, as well as with the formation of the composition, the coach said. - It was necessary not to play the “first number”, but to keep the goal intact.
Some had already raised their palms for a standing ovation, but it was early.
“Although it’s easy to talk about it, knowing the result,” Slutsky looked offendedly off to the side.
Secondly, he did not criticize the arbitrator for a controversial penalty:
“Now I am not ready to criticize the judge’s work indiscriminately,” but after a couple of seconds he prepared. - It seemed to me from the bench that Stand was the first on the ball.
And finally, Leonid Slutsky made a truly sensational statement, answering the question, would he like to see Dmitry Loskov in his team.
“Of course I would,” the Moscow coach said. - I think so will the rest of the sixteen coaches working in the Premier League.
It turns out that Anatoly Byshovets is no longer a coach? Boldly.
