Nobody Tour

A review of the matches of the 18th round of the Russian Football Championship. The next tour of the Premier League started, as expected, with a match with the participation of a team that occupies the upper line in the standings. Moscow "Spartak" flew to the most extreme distance of the championship in terms of distance - to Vladivostok. The local "Ru-Energy", which has already taken beautiful scalpes from the capital's guests this season (the current champions of the CSKA country were humiliated with a score of 4-0, and Lokomotiv with a little smaller scope) was not going to graze to the current leader. But he did not experience excessive self -confidence: the head coach of the “beam” Sergey Pavlov on the eve of the game, with might and main, was accumulated compliments to the guests and his colleague Stanislav Cherchesov.

Cherchesov, under whose leadership, until now, Spartak had not lost points, was also very careful in his comments. And when the time came to prove the words with deed, he first turned out to be in the role of the playing. Yes, and in the debut of the meeting - in the 9th minute. Dmitry Smirnov, with the full connivance of the defenders of the red-white head, literally brought the ball into the gate. Such a development of events, on the one hand, can knock out from the saddle. On the other hand, Cherchesov and Spartak had plenty of time left to change the course of an unsuccessful game. The second option came out.

About 10 minutes after the missed goal, the guests not only came to their senses, but also intercepted the initiative. Only the striker Nikita Bazhenov had at least three possibilities to hit the gate of the “beam” (twice the striker went out one on one with the goalkeeper of the hosts), but something recently in Bazhenov has been lame for the realization of the assembled moments (a goal clogged with a hand into the gates of Zenit) we will not count). Of course, there was a lack of Muscovites' main impact power in the attack: Roman Pavlyuchenko along with Martin Jeranec and Vladimir quickly missed the match due to the overcome of yellow cards. But to equalize the score was lucky just to Dubler Pavlyuchenko - Alexander Prudnikov. He, having received an unexpected pass from Mozart on the penalty area line, was not confused and struck powerfully. And although the ball flew right in the goalkeeper Marek Czech, the legionnaire failed to tame his unfortunate flight - 1: 1. After that, the game calmed down somewhat, but Cherchesov at the post-match press conference was still unhappy, considering that his team had lost two points.

The misses of "Spartak" (if a draw in Vladivostok can be called a miss), his direct competitors currently managed to use. “Zenith” accepted the houses on “Petrovsky” “Amkar” and not only could not win, but also left such a pale impression that sometimes St. Petersburg became frankly sorry. In 90 minutes of playing time, they could not create a little dangerous moment at the gates of the team Rashid Rakhimov. Moreover, although the matter almost did not reach real threats and at their own gate, Permians, perhaps, were still more hastily. At least a couple of times per match they were at least for some threats. And their favorite team fans in St. Petersburg whistled.

Anatoly Byshovets, the head coach of Lokomotiv, called a similar reaction from fans. The trouble with Anatoly Fedorovich is that he still cannot find out: who is in Russia he has the main enemy? At press conferences, he significantly quotes the classics and sometimes demonstrates good knowledge of history, but only the newcomers of the team (Peter Odemvyvye, for example) complain that not enough attention to pre-match training is given tactics. This time Byshovets did not lose - he saved him a minute before the final whistle of the same one, but he performed with the next series of revealing monologues (by the way, none of the journalists present, and did not understand who Anatoly Fedorovich convicts).

As for the match itself, Dynamo had to win. The blue and white twice was conducted in the account with the efforts of Ruslan Pimenov who had recently added recently (at first he turned out to be the most quick for all to finish, and then he realized his head from the corner). By the way, Dynamo this time was forced to perform in a very weakened composition. Okay, you can’t take the loss of grenade and Tanasyevich to the fatal, but the loss of Danny, of course, affected. But even in such a situation, nominal guests should have earned three points. But the young goalkeeper Shunin was mistaken (almost for the first time in the season), and under the curtain of the meeting, the Dynamo, perhaps, pressed too much to their gates, for which they paid.

He failed to decisively correct his tournament position and the current champion of the country. CSKA played at home with Khimki and, like Zenit, in all layouts should have seemed to win. And the army team created his first goal in the first minute of the match, but Wagner failed to send the ball into the goal from a favorable situation. Probably, at that moment, the tournament life seemed to the players of CSKA cloudless and promising, but subsequently such real situations at the gate of Roman Berezovsky no longer arose. Moreover, in the remaining time of the first half, the football players near Moscow were much closer. As always, Andrei Tikhonov was active and productive, who does not get tired of leading partners. In the second half, David Yangchik appeared on the field as part of the hosts, but did not remember anything. The Pole seemed to be active, but so far he seems only a faded shadow as active, but clearly much more skilled Ivitsa Olich. In general, the final result turned out to be 0: 0.

At some point, it seemed that all the matches of the tour could end in the world, but a team saved from such a deplorable outcome, which over the past one and a half season has broken all the conceivable domestic records for the number of meetings ending in the world - Saturn near Moscow. The Gadzhi Gadzhiev team finally won. But he did it largely thanks to his enemy. The Samara "Wings of the Soviets" in the last rounds demonstrate excessive favor to their rivals. They even score the first (sometimes twice), but then they calmly give the already won, it seemed, meetings. This time, the Samaras could not score, but they missed to miss. In the 33rd minute, Loskov’s serving closed Shilla on a long-standing bar.

However, the "wings" could well recoup. To do this, they had moments - Medvedev alone missed a couple of outstanding opportunities. So "Saturn" managed to bring the meeting to victory and left the departure zone.

PS Match "Kuban" - FC "Moscow" ended after signing the number in the seal.
