July 12 launched a Russian football season-2015/16. Or is it – on the contrary: previous – 2014/15 – ended?
In the match for the Super Bowl at the stadium “Petrovsky” in St. Petersburg met Cup of Russia (“Lokomotiv”) and the champion of the country (“Zenith” ).
Out of the opposition victory Petrograd penalties – 4: 2. After a draw in regulation time – 1: 1.
So what conclusions after this match we can do with you …
First, the place is chosen correctly. And time?
One may say that because of the Super Bowl in two participating in its drawing commands strays schedule pre-season, but it is so not only for us. In England, for example, in Italy confrontation clubs victors last season opened the new season.
Another thing is that the same Italians often these matches are held abroad: in the United States, all in Libya, and in recent years – China loved.
We also had the idea to bring the team in Asia, but in the Middle East: Qatar or the Emirates. Just – in December: it would be logical for both teams, “Loco” and “Zenith”, which are involved in European competition to give match practice before the December Europa League and Champions League respectively, and the good ones and the others in the group stage were a priori.
However, the Arabs that something did not happen, and just decided to play in July, the choice of St. Petersburg seems logical.
I understand how nervous fans took it all the other teams. After openly “hardware” solutions for the inclusion of “Zenit-2″ FNL (first division of Russian football) and other irritating moments it seemed that the chaos continues.
But let’s objectively (I definitely will – believe me, to current “Zenith-Gazprom” as it aptly named former Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin, do not feel much sympathy) in St. Petersburg Super Bowl never took place (and Moscow teams home field advantage has been), and sell-out there, unlike Khimki was virtually guaranteed.
Second, the fans booed Dziuba and Villas-Boas. And thanked Arshavin and Kerzhakov
Stadium eventually met, as expected, almost complete. At the same time, “Petrovich,” as they call it love many “Moldova” St. Petersburg fans, not all Zenit maintained.
Especially, of course, went to Artyom Dziuba – the security service “Zenith” even had to hold a special operation, to keep the masses of people into the stands in T-shirts, which were offered to go forward in a popular direction in Russia.
At the same striker got the whistle if less than once midfielder Vladimir Bystrov, too, at one time played for “Spartacus” (this being the flesh of Petrograd, which aggravated the guilt), it is clearly not much. And – that there still will be, especially if Artyom did not begin to score …
In this match he not only scored himself, but podygryshe not shine: the majority of its discounts did not find partners (the game of “Zenith “under Dziuba is clearly sharpened – and not very clear whether all imprisoned).
And remember the most so when he tried to rob the goalkeeper” Loco “Guilherme, threw the ball in front of him on the field and not seen first crouching forward. 7 years ago – also, incidentally, in a match against “Lokomotiv” and also for the Super Bowl! – Andrei Arshavin managed in a similar situation to punish the goalkeeper Ivan Leventsa.
But Dziuba – not a trickster, achieved only a free kick (the ball Guilherme covered once sensed the danger that the rules prohibited), which after drawing Hulk broke into the “wall».
Yes, I said – the Hulk, and that’s to get to him. The Brazilian also took part in the match, but only managed to score in the penalty shoot – unlike hit the post Zenit Shatov, punching a la Panenka, but hit the crossbar Grigorieva of “Loco” and Corluka, the main anti-hero in the evening, the ball slightly katnuvshego in the arms of the goalkeeper of “Zenith” Lodygin.
… But about Arshavin remember again.
Because of him, as well as about his friend and partner Sasha Kerzhakov fans remember well zenitovskie , brought to the podium banner with their images and the slogan “The guys from our yard.” And occasionally sing the same song “Lube” verses remarkable poet Sasha Shaganova, play, incidentally, by a youth football – and bad – the position of the stopper.
But they shamelessly survivor from the team of Portuguese coach Andre Villashu- Boas songs did not get – just whistle.
Not so, of course, a high-pitched, as is the case with Dziuba. But – it is a team, as they say in the football world, bounced, equalized with a controversial penalty just before the end of normal time and then won in a penalty shootout.
And what will happen in case of defeat – even if it is not in the league Russia and in the Champions League, it is likely?
Third, Villas-Boas complains again. How long will it be tolerated?
Yes, the Portuguese after the game was released to journalists with a favorite thesis: that the limit of the “6 + 5″ (ie – no more than six foreign players on the field) will kill the Russian football. And – did not shed a tear at the same time, even though he looked so I could soften the passengers of St. Petersburg or Moscow metro pohlesche any professional beggars.
Moreover, the thesis itself is controversial (although I it partly agrees limit, which obviously will be adopted by the Russian Football Union, wacky, however, suggest the opposite – reduce the number of foreigners).
But this system itself “6 + 5″ insists it should be known Villas Boas and even does not RFU – and directly beneficial owner of the “Zenith” Alexei Miller. Why would he need to – a different story (perhaps to show the main Fanzone Russia that he cares about the interests of the team before the 2018 World Cup), but then insists same.
And, I think, a couple of performances – and days of Villas-Boas in “Zenith” may be considered.
They did, and so are not very happy because of the poor results in Europe, and children, as many knowledgeable people, training (and almost the only Pego Plus – an alliance with a major star, Hulk, formed back in the “Port”). And then there’s the resignation of Arshavin and Kerzhakov whist in the Portuguese city, as we have with you remembered clearly added.
Another question – if not the Villas-Boas breach of contract seeking? ..
