“Maybe Villas-Boas still change his mind.” The main derby Eastern Europe – RBC

Report Denis Romantsova and Vladislav Voronin and the leader of the match and the champion of Russia.

Pre-match showman CSKA Konstantin Anisimov not moved away from the working week as a sponsor of the program “Evening Urgant” and went on to joke.

– a few minutes left before the main derby Eastern Europe – suddenly he said, “Arena Khimki».

«Zenit» on a bright poster did not initially pulled and frankly disappointing. So lost, damaged and awkward in the first half hour, he had not seen, probably since the late Spalletti.

CSKA increasingly and successfully controlled the ball was gathered in the protection and unprecedented easily passed the midfield. Defense and support zone “Zenith” swept bustle and chaos – unnecessary fouls, passes out of place, but in the end – discount Lombaerts into his own net after not really something and dangerous submission Wernbloom . At this point, even Miller probably thought that the summer should still tighten transfer Stefan Savic, rather than passively interested Semenov and eventually leave the defense without any amplification.

– I would score today, but not in the gate – then Lombaerts said with a slight smile. – Unfortunately, it also happens. I am glad that we were able to at least level the score.

– After the defeat of the “Wings” has decided to replace AVB Neto on Lombaerts, he played well, not counting the time with an own goal – Semak surprised. – Problems in defense we did not of defenders. To defend the whole team should be.

But the attack turned out at the “Zenith” is not enough. Hulk could not come up with the attack and knocked the ball forward as it is necessary, and then held up his hand, apologizing Dziuba. Danny almost caught the idea of ​​partners and either could not keep the ball or in a hurry with the gears on the flank – as a result of the attack appeared inconsistent and failed.

Witsel saw rapid demise of a counterattack, covered his face with his hands, Shatov several times cursing loudly in the air and waved his arms, Javi Garcia hurriedly tried to make contact with and Garay Lombaerts – in these pictures resentment, misunderstanding and frustration was all “Zenith” the first half. Even after the goal Doumbia when CSKA ease the pressure and stepped back, “Zenith” Fifteen minutes could write intelligent moments and even strained combined for half of CSKA.

– On first minute, we prevent the desire to play as best as possible, – Sergei Semak explained later.

– How to communicate with the head coach? – Asked Semak.

– Telepathy. Special contact with Andre was not, its absence – minus for us.

However, chatty Artem Dzyuba quickly told that the contact the actually was.

– We are many who prompted: Semak, aides told that it says Villas-Boas. Communication now is, I think that the coach wanted to convey, it is informed. That did not happen to go right on Skype, even something , just told us his word – that’s all. Some sms sent.

– What is your general mood at the news of his departure?

– Time is, maybe he even changes his mind many times. We did a lot of respect and appreciate, no problem. He’s a great coach and a good person, a very good atmosphere in the team. When the something can not – all begin to look for the guilty, start looking for the problem, but there are no problems. So far, maybe it’s any emotion or even something , because it’s really too – giving 6-match suspension for such things. Well, two, maybe three, but six – that he, anyone hit something? Will or not – time will tell. I think that he has not yet said its last word.

The goal of the Hulk forced cheer CSKA attack, it turned several dangerous moments and a penalty, not traditionally implemented. “Zenith” in the middle of the second half looked apathetically – Hulk gestures Semak that enough to ship riding, let’s play bottom, Danny ignored the outstretched hand Semak after the replacement, and Lodygin launched into a dribble in the penalty area gave the ball almost Eremenko. However, CSKA after several missed chances and voluntary withdrawal Doumbia focused on the protection and rooted second Berezutsky and “Zenith” freshened after the two substitutions, and the second a lively break Smolnikova brought the case to a draw.

– There was a mistake in the left area of ​​protection, are not covered gear – Slutsky explained.

– Even before the goal was to Smolnikova hundred percent penalty – said Semak. – Refereeing was imperfect.

If even in such a depressed state “Zenith” pulls a stressful game scary to imagine what will happen when the team will be fine.

It remains to understand what to do needs to be changed – the coach or the limit.
