“Kuban” has gone this season for quite a strange way. The only step that somehow resisted the logic, was the invitation of Dmitry Khokhlov. Young, but has already received the experience specialist – he worked in the “Dynamo” and an assistant and coach of the youth team, and even the acting chief. In general, the decision seemed in all respects correct and interesting. But everything else, including the signing of contracts with Andrei Arshavin and Roman Pavlyuchenko, it was difficult to explain. And had to ask a simple question: why?

Is “Kuban” haunt success, “Krasnodar”, which has become a major football power in the city? So in fact only by the two veterans, whose shape is far from ideal, these successes are not repeated. Or maybe, “Kuban” already have everything and lacks only experience that will give the team and guest stars? But this is not the case, have enough problems. Or did we see the usual publicity stunt designed to draw attention to the club?

It is more like it, though the effect of the action turned controversial. When financial problems, “Kuban” and its debt feasibility of such a PR move is questionable. It’s one thing, “Anji”, swam a couple of years the money Suleiman Kerimov, and quite another – the club, financed from the regional budget. And where the exhaust? At the premiere with two bronze soldiers Guus Hiddink has not come, and 12 thousand people, and this despite the fact that two years ago, “Kuban” collected an average of 20,000 fans.

Someone will say enough about public relations, let’s talk about football, because Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko is primarily a football. Well, let’s. But first – is another issue to nowhere: the purpose of the purchase was football or okolofutbolnoy? That is, the selection service “Kuban” conducted analysis identified the positions that need to be strengthened and choose from a list of candidates of these two players, or is it someone at the top just wanted to “take the kids” to surprise people? Somehow, it seems that the latter is closer to the truth. We took and surprised. A “Kuban” start the championship from last place.

Whatever it was, for the players themselves questions asked, and if Grozny late on Saturday evening they went out on the field, “Ahmat -Areny “, watch them play, it would probably be interested. They say that time has made a bizarre loop and move them two of the glorious past in a curious moment.

But then, bad luck – no, not a second on the field was not.

Without them, “Kuban” has “Terek” stubborn resistance, though a long time she could not. Yes, at the beginning Godzyur saved by the crossbar, but in this case in the first half and was limited.

The home team is playing inspired. Most of the attacks skillfully led the failed Spartak Oleg Ivanov, great at his flank looked Rybus constantly creating sharpness garden. In general, select someone one difficult.

Gol that “Terek” scored on 33 minutes to give feast for the eyes. Ivanov took the ball in the center, put on Lebedenco and from the feedback received transmission, then, is in a good position, he rolled the ball into the penalty Píriz, who has just hit the corner. The score could have been bigger, but just before the break Sadaev missed a good time.

“Kuban” woke up after the break and soon equalized. Very strange (Kulik hung on Melgarejo for some incredible trajectory, and Paraguayan showed acrobatic skills to close), but very important. Equalize, guests became a little easier. The game calmed down, though, and held still with the advantage of “Terek”.

When the referee Fedotov removed Rabiu, and “Kuban” has remained in the minority, it seemed that the goal of its gates – a matter of time. That’s only a little time left. “Terek” could score – was a good opportunity to have Mbenga from the vantage point beat Kuziaev and Mauricio. But none of them brought “Terek” victory. In the end, the hosts played out.

A Khokhlov won the first point without stellar newcomers.
