Leonid Slutsky in advance, said that in the match against Croatia will check the next reserve team. A certain logic in this is – first of all, Croats and do not bring in Rostov-on-Don the strongest of all, and secondly, watching the players still needed. We (actually, the Russians are not unique in this desire) often say that the national team needs fresh blood, but can not determine exactly when it injected. In the course of the qualifying tournament should play a strong and friendly matches – perhaps the only opportunity to adjust the composition of teamwork. For Leonid Slutsky game with Croatia was the first chance to experiment – to do this, the team had a tough task to get to the Euro.
The experimental part of Russians still get impressive – specific concern is only the center of defense. There Slutsky sent Duo Semionov – Vasin, and the output has no practice of CSKA could puzzle, because the team was called and Ivan Novosel . However, if we talk about the fact that the players of CSKA and “Zenith” have to get at least some breathing room, then it deserves and Novosel – its “growth” is also great to play in the championship.
The first 10 minutes were held in too quiet, but typical for friendlies pace – the already slow play severed damage Domagoya Types and Mario Mandžukić . It was immediately noticeable tendency owners to play as often as possible against: a few minutes have passed three attacks, completes the vertical transmission, and one of them almost ended scoring chances – who returned to play Vida at the last moment interrupted pass to Fedor Smolova .But the following five minutes accommodate as much as you will not see often for the whole match. Croats, knowing nesygrannosti center of the defense team Slutsky, loaded the box sheds – a single attack went three innings. The next occurrence of guests leaving the canopy to Nikola Kalinic embarrassed George Lodygina – the goalkeeper of “Zenith” again made a mistake at the exit, and one of the top scorers in Serie A was not enough centimeters to open an account . Emerged after a minute corner at the gate Lodygina spawned panic in the goalkeeper, and the ball was bored Ivan Perisic – the goalkeeper saved from the goal! Repulsed at the gate, the Russians scored in the wrong: Shirokov got the ball in front of the box to overexposure noticed the connection Alexei Ionov , which at the time was the author assists – resin from a position overshoot had no right, 1: 0 ! Immediately Denis Glushakov shot from the point where the attack before Shirokov gave pass – goalkeeper Croat Kalinic tentatively hit the ball in front of him, and the panic started in the penalty guests.
You probably have time to drink a cup of coffee, yet read the previous paragraph, but these events have gone in five minutes. Then the Russians took a protracted pause occasionally undermining split in counter, but the Croats were in no hurry to press. In the next 20 minutes in the present danger of attack with a vertical cross on Mandzhukicha – Lodygin in the clash head-on with the striker Croats was stronger.
With the exception of errors associated with nesygrannost the defense (goalkeeper and defense the Five were five different clubs), the game team looked solid, with no signs of fear. The team in building minimized the number of unfounded cross passes and individual actions, sought to play as vertically. For the first time in a long time team really looked like the best players in the community under the leadership of the country’s best coach – adjusted for the fact that the composition of a particular match with Croatia was experimental. On the need for the amendment in the inning he reminded Lodygin, mahnuvshy past the ball, perform the transfer. The resulting combination has led to a rapid grazing on Badelj Perisic, who tried to score in the touch pool blow. For a moment, everything froze, measuring the trajectory of impact and the possibility of offside, but the ball fortunately passed by the alignment.
Goals: resins, 14 (1: 0); Kalinic, 57 (1: 1); Brozović, 60 (1: 2); Mandzhukich, 82 (1: 3).
Warnings:
no ?? Perisic, 29; Vida, 37.
The second half began with Russia’s debut – Artem Rebrov for the first time in the national team sweater gently talked to the pole. To relax he would not allow the defender team: almost immediately after the restart of play on the new canopy Brozović Mandzhukicha led to the strike. Vasin lost again, showing why does not pass the foundation CSKA – striker “Juventus” beat protivohod Rebrov, but missed.
Russia responded with another stylish attacks, and again it started Shirokov . The captain felt comfortable thanks to the constant movement of Polina, distracted by not only defenders but opornikov Croats, and in this situation is wide open. On 52 minutes, he threw the ball to Kombarova like hand, he left the right to break Cheryshevu . Winger “Real” hit the move, but nearly kovyrnul the ball, and he went past.
And then the Croats have decided that spending had enough chances to score. Within three minutes, the guests scored two goals – first collective care defense team unconscious led to a simple lumbago Vrsaljko and a simple and reliable impact Kalinic, then inconsistencies opornikov, Semenov and Shishkin has led to uneasy strike Brozović . Discussions with the frame, this time did not help Rebrov – the ball bounced off the crossbar into the goal – 1: 2 hours after the game.
The game calmed down again, along with the stadium “Olympus”. 10 minutes after the second goal of Croatia a real chance to equalize missed just left on the Vladislav Ignatiev : RC pass Cherysheva walked across the goalkeeper, but Ignatieff after a small rebound did not get into an empty corner.
Out on the field, replacing the same Cherysheva, and Dziuba – and immediately received a gorgeous moment. Forward “Zenith” got the ball in the middle of the penalty area and tried to ram the gates of the guests – Kalinic not just cool it with a blow at close range, but also covered the ball before it had time to finish into an empty net Shirokov.
Finally, the third goal of the match reassured Croatia – Vrsaljko the same the second time in half an hour took refuge behind a high offside line, unimpeded shot and Mandzukic ahead Vasina. 1: 3.
Will the defeat something in the understanding of the forces the Russian team? Not at all. We have seen that even in the experimental part of the team Slutsky can build and create a sufficient number of points – this is very important. But we have seen the collapse of the defense, and – as the main left-back Kombarova , and the rest of the Quartet, including the goalkeeper. This friendly match once again demonstrated that the reinforcements on the defensive team should not wait: spare defenders to an international tournament do not hold out, and youth team received three goals from Azerbaijan. Out on the field the most experienced Ignashevich instead Vasina that occurred at the last minute, is symbolic not only in terms of its record for the number of games for the national team. Sergey and more have to live in the center of defense of the national team.
