MOSCOW, February 19 -. R-Sport, Alexander Rogulev Footballers “Krasnodar” on Thursday with a minimum score lost in Prague, “Sparta” in the first match of 1/16 finals of the Europa League, causing the entire game just one hit on target. Thus, all three Russian clubs – in addition to the “Krasnodar” is the St. Petersburg “Zenith”, who plays in the Champions League, and Moscow “Locomotive” in the Europa League – started the spring part of the European cup with guest defeats and no goals scored
Winter leaves
During the week in the Czech Republic was exemplary European weather mid-February: neither heat nor cold. It was only on the eve of the match, to everyone’s surprise, including the Czechs, Prague snowed: all morning and all day at the stadium “summer” going drifts. At the same time in the stadium it seemed to have no soul, and becomes somehow disturbing. If not for the match itself, then at least for the pre-game workouts that were supposed to pass a few hours later
“We are fully prepared for the snow, getting an accurate prediction even for a few days – he reassured the press attache.” Sparta “Ondrej Kasik -. field heating system is turned on and working properly This is much better than if we had an open field using snowplows by the beginning of training in the afternoon, all the water is gone, players will be able to hold a class..”
And the truth, to training all the drifts left. The problem remains the same: “Krasnodar” was to conduct training in the far corner of the field, and even allowed the regulations open 15 minutes were meaningless. And in the morning only memories on Thursday in Prague snowstorm. The subtitle could easily be called “Spring in Prague”, but it turned out be too ambiguous. A political revelations in the sport in recent days once it is a lot.
In the “Krasnodar”, by the way, after the well-known speech Dmitry Tarasov in Turkey held a special discussion to avoid any provocation. “Today we will discuss the topic”, – promised the head coach of the Krasnodar Oleg Kononov, when asked about the repetition of something similar act Tarasova in Prague
Prague -. Without a tip, Krasnodar – free games
“it is difficult, we should not be”, – muttered midfielder “Krasnodar” Odil Ahmedov at a press conference on the eve of the match, although probably wanted to say something else. Uzbek football Invitation to dialogue with journalists clearly was a mistake: in 20 minutes, he forced himself to four sentences. Akhmedov so embarrassed at the entrance to the press center that minute and a half could not figure out where to put the sack with Bootsy. As a result, he came to the aid Kononov, who found for your football chair
The main idea Akhmedov, however, was able to say:. “We have a good team, good players, we know how to play.”. About the same and he said sitting next Kononov, adding that his players have to go out in sports evil. Prior to the match, it is not surprising to hear even the Czechs forecasts that it “Krasnodar” is a favorite of the meeting, and not vice versa
Besides, “Sparta” ruled out the main scorer -. David Lafata, which account five goals this season in the Europa League. The headquarters of “Sparta” to the last tried to keep the intrigue over his appearance in the lineup. “We will make a decision on Thursday,” – shaking his head Shchasny. But after 15 minutes Lafata was not on the pre-game session “Sparta”, and the issue was dropped by itself.
I must say at once that the absence of “tip” of the owners just saved “Krasnodar” in the first half. “Sparta” Already in the third minute had to open an account, but Keinde Fata missed the target. And when three minutes later the striker still hit the target, the side referee saw an offside position. Guests in the first half also were noted nezaschitannym goal: to “offside” climbed Andreas Granqvist. However, this was all that was noted by the Russian club before the break.
Easy walks in Krasnodar do not wait!
“Krasnodar” was left without support in Prague. Man 40-50 are located in the guest sector and in the neighborhood launched the Uzbek flag and banner “Odil, forward!” two personal fan Akhmedov. Hero of the press conference is located in the habitual for itself midfielder, and, if you call a spade a spade, completely ruined the game. Reference zone “Krasnodar” is constantly sinking, which allowed “Sparta” to create one point after another.
The game the Russians will not be adjusted after the break. Statistics on the results of 60 minutes was quite depressing: 8 shots on goal, “Krasnodar”, 5 of them – the target. In this case the guests do not try even once, even just in the side of the gate. In this situation, the goal “Sparta” was a matter of time, and it happened in the 64th minute. Bořek Dočkal twice “blew” the right flank, and at the second attempt still hung on the far post, where the transmission responded Lukas Yulish.
Next replacements Kononov was able to briefly shake the “Krasnodar”, but in the time remaining more “Sparta” was closer to the second goal than Russian club to ensure that even the score. “We rightly conceded” Sparta “, to their credit, – said Kononov after the game -.. Of course, first of all it is related to the pressure, a fast game and pressed We could not move away from pressure, we played too timidly” <. /> p>
“Disappointed whole team play, – he added -.. Hence, few dangerous moments of course, we will have the remaining time before the second game to work out our actions in attack we failed today game, everyone understands this in. including the players. But we have the second game in which we will give all the forces “.
in the” Krasnodar “we believe more than in St. Petersburg” Zenith “in Portugal and Moscow” Locomotive “in Turkey, but the result came out the same. Hopefully, Krasnodar have time to collect the required form to the return game and really show a different game, after the game promised Andrei Dikan and Vitaly Kaleshin.
“Why is it we got off lightly? How come it happened. All in ahead – confidently he said Kaleshin journalists – Yes, today was played not in his power, but we have the second game ends 0:. 1 is played so great catastrophe is not an easy walk from our home, “Sparta” will not be exact,.. I promise. “
