  • RIA Novosti

— The match between “Spartak” and “Krasnodar” will be Central in the 18th round of RPL. Over the past two weeks the team of Murad Musayev, first impressed everyone with his bold play in the Europa League and then lost to “Rostov” in the Cup of Russia. What conclusions can be made on the basis of these meetings?

It was the first matches after the winter break, everything is explainable. “Rostov” is a very uncompromising opponent. The unsatisfactory result of the first match put the bulls in a difficult position, and in the second half and all forced to open up and act adventurously. Wards Valery Karpin was in his element at the right time and took advantage of the mistake of the opponent.

— Can we call a failure the result of a match with “Rostov”?

— I wouldn’t say that. Of course, southerners were not able to create a lot of chances, but in the confrontation with such an opponent it does not happen. If FC Krasnodar scored at the start of the meeting, she would have turned out differently. However, in three official matches, we see that Musaev has an impressive clip players who are very well prepared and great functionally interact with each other.

Before Musayev “Krasnodar” was blamed for the fact that the team plays well with the middle peasants, but always inferior to the favorites. Now it’s the opposite?

— “Krasnodar” — a young team that just continues to build, so while there are different roughness. From the outset, the team proclaimed to dominate the philosophy and not retreating from it. It should be noted that it is much easier to establish cooperation in the defense than systematically to work to attack. So every year the bulls have missed points. But Musaev these problems have been solved. They have no fear of the top clubs.

— Something else to work “Krasnodar”?

— Most importantly — the head and mentality.

The players, coaching staff and management must be sure that we can fight not just for a place in the top five in RPL and qualifying for European competitions, but also for gold. The problem of the construction teams are often that they can’t do this step.

In connection with the defeat from “Rostov” it is next Sunday can expect serious changes in the “Krasnodar”?

— I think it needs to go back Christopher Olsson. Due to the busy schedule he’s a bit tired, so he was given a rest. Do not exclude the appearance in the starting lineup, rookie Dmitry Skopintseva. I should note that the result of the match with “Rostov” should have no effect on mood “Krasnodar”. This is a different tournament.

— You agree that for southerners the match with Spartak is crucial, if we talk about their ambitions for the championship?

— Of course,but for the Moscow team, he has no less importance. Maybe even more so. Losing a home its main competitor, who is also fighting for the gold, — then forget about it. In a similar situation and southerners, who have no right to lose points because Zenit could easily take advantage of it.

On Friday, March 1, a match “Orenburg” — “Anji” will resume the championship of Russia on football of the season-2018/19. Holding the lead after the…

— As for Olsson: what opinion was formed on the rookie “Krasnodar”?

— It is impossible to draw conclusions on the two games. As far as I know, this player wanted to buy other clubs RPL, but “Krasnodar” has worked carefully and quietly. Judging by the qualities better, it fits well in the team and absolutely suited her. In addition, the bulls never made a mistake with the Swedes who were to become leaders as soon as Viktor Klasson, either over time as Andreas Granqvist.

— It is no coincidence that in recent years the Russian clubs often invite players from the Scandinavian countries?

— They are closer to us on mentality, able, adapt well to new conditions. Also they are professional and understand what is expected of them. With the Brazilians in this plan more difficult.

— On the eve of the match it appeared that the age of Magomed Shapi Suleymanova could be rewritten and actually he’s 23, not 19 years. You do not rule out such a thing?

The person who conducted the investigation, delved into the subject and gave evidence and materials. It is possible that this is true, but not judge.

— It can’t cast a shadow on his progress lately?

— In Russia there is a good player, who is good and brings value to his team. And what he was born it worries me less. Let the questions with age decide the club and the League.

— Previously to such fraud often used in Africa. You are aware of similar cases in Russia?

— It happens all the time, for example in the children’s and youth leagues. I think this problem is not eradicated. Now these cases became less, but in my time there were plenty of them.

— Do you remember any particular incident?

— When I was 14-15 years old, we with Spartak came to a youth tournament. One of our rivals was the team “metallurg” from Zaporozhye. Against us came the guys with stubble and beards, but it seems like our peers. We just flew away from them. And the question is really whether they fall under the age category, we produced documents.

— If you do not go into the issue of passport data, do you think that Magomed Shapi ripe to play for the main squad of FC Krasnodar?

— Suleymanov is very quick and sharp, the footballer delivered a blow. When he comes off the bench, and his opponents are already tired, the athlete can use free space. At the start of the meeting difficult for him to prove himself. If he is good in the role player who comes on as a sub and killing your opponent, you need to use it.

— Whether in the near future to wait for the role change Suleymanova at Krasnodar?

When he can stabilize his game, he will get more time. Perhaps even go on the pitch from the first minute. But southerners have very serious competition in the offensive line, so the young guy is not so easy to win it.

— “Krasnodar” is now considered a source of young talent. The club has a future goal to send them into a serious European teams?

— I think no such purpose.

Southerners bring up players only for themselves. When young players “Krasnodar” in the press or in his entourage say that he is not averse in the future to play in Europe, this has caused some jealousy on the part of the club, which is quite reasonable. They want to cultivate patriotism in the graduates of the Academy to those in the first thought about how to gain a foothold in his home team and bring joy to local fans.

— Not all the Academy players then get into the main team…

— Of course. In this case, “Krasnodar” parked them in other bands. Take, for example, Nikolay Komlichenko, which is currently successfully performed in the club “Mlada Boleslav” and is the best scorer of the championship of the Czech Republic.

— This is an isolated case. However, a number of players “Krasnodar” in the present act for other clubs on loan.

— Apparently, they can’t benefit the main team. It is enough to remember Oleg Lanin, who in a certain period was very good, but could not gain a foothold in the team. As for today’s youth, I think, even if they will be in demand, “Krasnodar” will not get rid of them. I mean Suleymanov, Utkin, Golubeva, especially the goalkeeper Safonov.

Shortly before his official election to the post of President of the RFU Alexander Dyukov has raised the issue of the limit on foreign players in Russian football. Does, in your opinion, is this limit so teams like Krasnodar?

— I believe that the limit only prevents. Need a clean athletic competition. Would be right if it comes to that format will have no restrictions. The player must prove that he is worthy places in the composition, and to it only if better prepared. But at the moment this limitation not not want. I understand the reasons why.

— What?

— It is also associated with patriotism in the leadership of the Russian football want to give way to his. In the offices think that the lifting of the limit will close the local youth a path to the team, and instead will buy second-rate foreign players.

— I think these fears are groundless?

— I think now the clubs are very good at counting money. If you look at how it is now equipped with the team of RPL, exorbitant transfer no. Everyone don’t buy.

The first trophy Kononov: how “Spartak” has won a friendly tournament in Qatar

“Spartak” won the Cup “Match of the Premier”. In the last match of the tournament in Qatar red-white posted four unanswered goals to…

The opponent of “Krasnodar” very impressive start of the year and won the Cup “Match of the Premier” in Qatar. What did you like the game red-and-white for this event?

— Call it phenomenal is too loud, and just positive too modest. “Spartacus” was very good and won rightfully. But then in training camp he has not won a single victory. As I understand it, the wards Kononov was strongly motivated for the championship in Qatar and approached him head-on. What happened next is a matter of training, strategies of the coaching staff.

— What did you particularly like in the game of “Spartacus”?

— The team was United. It was felt a good atmosphere and sports competition, when everyone was trying to win a place in the squad. From what I saw in training and in games of “Spartacus”, I have left a good impression.

— What has changed in the training process after the arrival of Oleg Kononov?

— As the players became very much work with the ball, and within the team formed chemistry. The players like small children-only cross-country work does not give them pleasure, but when they can work out in the squares, play a game or something like that, exercise becomes a joy. Apparently, that suggests Kononov they like.

— On the eve of the match do not cease talking about a tense relationship between “Spartak” and its fans. In particular, the fans demand that the club left a number of officials and players. In your opinion, could this affect the story of the rejection of the fans in the home match against “Krasnodar”?

— Understand their anger about this. It is believed that Spartak allegedly defended their fans and did everything possible to bring them back into the stands. I understand that the club did all in his power. While fans are to blame for the incident. After all, they chanted racist chants to the address of the goalkeeper “Locomotive” Marinato Guilherme.

This conflict ever end?

— The confrontation between the fans and the leadership of “Spartacus” was, is and will be, regardless of who heads the club. This should be accepted. I think white and red have long been accustomed to the outside pressure. The main thing that it was not transferred to the players.

— Perhaps the most popular football team in the country?

— Of course. But I would call “Spartacus” is the most discussed team in the country. He has a huge army of fans, which rarely is in a state of comfort. Transfers, ticket prices, problems with trips — there is always a reason for dissatisfaction. Other clubs live in their own world, the silence and do their work professionally. Red-white also try, but the more fans you have, the harder it is.

Is there any chance that these stock fans happen by someone’s decree?

The fans absolutely pursue their goals. They are unhappy that can not attend the game. Of course, this is a provocation and an attempt to manipulate leadership. But such a big club as Spartak, should not react to it. If every sneeze will be given such attention, then what kind of football can we talk? Now many people forget that the team is waiting for the most important game with the “Krasnodar”.

Speaking about the game, what do you expect from teams in this meeting?

— Given that “Spartacus” is the first official match after the winter break, at home red-white should dominate. On the other hand, “Krasnodar” — not the team that allows the opponent to find a comfortable rhythm game. I think both teams will be looking for the happiness in attack.

— Can you call someone a favorite?

— Do not dare. “Krasnodar” played three games and extremely motivated. The team understands that this year she has a good chance to compete for the championship. In this the southerners did not beat the Muscovites in March 2015, and in General they are not very lucky in games against this opponent.

— Shouldn’t one of the teams to do tricky and take a few steps back in their half, and then try to catch the opponent on the counterattack?

Perhaps, but a quick goal can change everything. Can you figure out a game plan, but make one mistake and you need to act differently. Of course, one of the teams can go to the trick. In addition, in Leverkusen wards Musayev showed that can play both second and first number.

— How do you see the middle line of the field “Spartaka” in game with “Krasnodar”?

— In the absence of Fernando Kononov played different combinations in the midfield. The choice he is very good. Think replaced Denis Glushakov and Roman Zobnin also allow the emergence of Ayaz Guliyev. It does a nice amount of work and can help “Spartaku”.

— Probably, in connection with the difficult situation with the fans Glushakova should leave on the bench?

— In this situation it is pointless to go on about the fans. Glushakov should play for “Spartak” as long as it will correspond to the status of captain and level of the player base. Judging by the performance at the tournament in Qatar, his place in the starting lineup could not be questioned.

— What can you say about the offensive line?

— There are a lot of options. “Spartak” can play as two strikers in the person of Luiz Adriano and ze Luis, translate Brazilian to flank. From Kononov there is space to maneuver.

Three days before the game: RPL moved the Arsenal match and CSKA Moscow from Tula in Grozny due to bad turf

The match of the 18th round of the championship of Russia on football between Arsenal and CSKA moved from Tula to Ivan. The game will be held March 2 at the stadium…

— Talk about the future of the air. Will you comment this match with Smirnovym, who is a fan of “Spartacus” and is often very emotionally react to the events of the match. How comfortable are you going to work with him at this meeting?

— There will be no problems. Rather, it is a stereotype that the commentator will behave biased and wrong to evaluate the episodes. Me with Alexander Ivanovich comfortable to work. It reflexing, very emotional person with a rich Russian. He missed the Russian football and Spartak. I think it should be a fire report, and the team will not fail us.

— This match will be working at the edge…

— Yes, I will have limited functionality. I will try not to interfere with the work Smirnovu. That is to say, the percentage of possession will be 80 to 20 in favor of colleagues.

— Previously Smirnov noted that he likes to report to George by Cherdantseva because they do “living the conflict”. Plan to arrange a similar pick on Sunday?

— No. A conscious transformation of the story into a farce will not benefit neither the commentators nor the channel, nor the fans, that it will just annoy. If something with Alexander Ivanovich will not be able to agree, do it diplomatically. To turn this into a battle between Genicam and Smirnovym not going to.

— It is noteworthy that the players of “Krasnodar” love to blow through during your stories. You see in this particular tradition?

— Unfortunately, it is interrupted, after Tornike Okriashvili left “Krasnodar”. At least he won’t score a kick under my comment. Of course, it would be nice if this continued in future.

— What event would expect to see during the upcoming match?

— “Spartak” played good standard position in the first half of the championship, so I suppose that in this match will be scored at least one goal after a corner kick, free kick, penalty kick or draw out.

— Dare to give a prediction for the match?

— I think the teams will exchange goals. In my opinion, we are waiting for a draw — 1:1 or 2:2.
