Why Shirokov high HDT, when he scores and deals? – SPORT EXPRESS

CUP OF RUSSIA. 1/4 finals. “Do FA “ – CSKA – 0: 2

” SE “in conjunction with InStat analyzes the game captain of the Russian team in the debut for new club

Let us not once again to recall the doubts that arose from the public immediately after the transition Shirokov CSKA. There were many, and they are all well known and so. To date, the captain of the Russian team has already managed to become a key player in the constructions of the army. And point. It showed and friendly matches of the last of the winter collection of red and blue, where Roman steadily appeared at the base, it has shown the first official game against “Ufa”

Do this to keep the status novel later It justifies any trust Leonid Slutsky – the question is not today and not tomorrow. But it is now widely demonstrated: the use of the new team he is able to bring a lot of

EREMENKO – on the wing, wide – in the center

The most interesting thing was to CSKA constructions simultaneous deployment in the field of two-Romanov playmakers. To be more precise, in question was seen only place Eremenko as Shirokov at a position other than “a striker” in the 4-2-3-1 formation, present difficult. “Spartacus” was trying to lower the experienced midfielder deep into the field, making the attacker opornikom – and nothing good came of it. Eremenko same as in the friendly matches against CSKA, “Malaga” and “Dynamo”, went to the left flank. And not on the point of attack – although this option once winter Slutsky also tested. With functions winger, by the way, the movable Finnish midfielder coped with dignity

The match against “Ufa” once again all made it clear. Shirokov – unique player who needs to be able to use. He played in typical self football: not the highest mobility (78 TTD – 9th figure in the team of players “start”, less only Akinfeev and Musa), not too involved in the selection (of 13 martial arts, of which only 3 defensive), often played on the “clean” balls. However, to make the result, it may be enough couple of touches. At this time, this is what happened

THE FIRST TIME:. WHY THE NOVEL “SPAL”

But for a long time it seemed that the ex-Spartak did not get anything at all. The first half Shirokov (as well as the whole team) had slurred. Nothing stood out, was wrong in the programs and periodically dissolved on the background of partners. Almost all of his game – in one or two touches, the vast majority of passes – always forward, and this led to a high marriage. Totals Roman before the break: 22 transmission, 13 of which were successful (59 percent accuracy), one good sharpening pass two, two successful attempts to deliver the ball in the box of five, six losses, no one interception, a 55 percent successful TTD.

In CSKA, Spartak, compared with the times, Shirokov is playing a little closer to someone else’s goal. In the constructions of red and blue, he is responsible not only for the preparatory stage of the attack, many of the penultimate or the last, decisive, action. To disperse the attacks from deep in the red and blue have a mobile Dzagoev. In moments of typical protracted positional attacks Roman advances to Moses and becomes almost drawn out center forward.

Heavy defense “Ufa” left in the first half CSKA minimum of space. The game was often in areas where there are at least some freedom – on the flanks or in the 15-20 meters from the free kick. The focus is Mario Fernandez and Tosic, Nababkin and Eremenko, and to Musa and Shirokov ball over the periods of time simply do not reach. And the feeling that the captain of the Russian team seemed divorced from the overall team action.

O is not the highest involvement of 34-year-old midfielder in the game, and clearly say the overall performance of TTD. In the first half of their Roman scored only 29 (16 successful). In the second figure has almost doubled – 49 (39)

THE SECOND TIME:. Shirokovskaya extravaganza

What happened after the break? It is hardly necessary to talk about a miraculous transformation and personal Shirokov CSKA. Most likely, the “Ufa” simply unable to cope with the constant pressure, “podnaelas” and could not stand the original tempo. The hosts are no longer keep up with the other players, not so quickly came back after their own attempt to go to someone else’s half. Began to slowly emerge free zones – and it is a favorable environment for the development of the army attacks

After all, if you recall, to the goal Shirokov from Roman was almost the same time when he received the ball. , smoothly passed to the penalty, but struck up with a solution. But in the second episode of the captain of the Russian team has already done all masterfully: escaped from unwary opponents, got the flank pass from Mario Fernandez, made a couple of steps forward, immediately assessed the situation and shot at “nine” with a broken left. And we have become gradually forget that wide – not only a great assistant, but also a very strong finisher, great-established this status in the “Zenith” and “Krasnodar”

When the “Ufa” had to think about the attack, CSKA became even easier. The second assists combination of army – a real extravaganza, which Shirokov plays a major role. Two fine pass for a few seconds, and the second, on Dzagoev, can admire the infinite. When partners due to fatigue “Ufa” became more and better open when most balls was right up to the captain of the Russian team, the ability to Roman to give a cool transfer has become the main weapon of red and blue.

in this game Shirokov like a fish in water – gets the ball after interceptions in the center circle, spending minimum time for processing, quickly looks around the field and lightning cross floats swift breakthrough partner. It happened in a moment with the breakthrough of Musa, a miracle did not finish the third goal, and it happened in front of a dangerous Stroke stroke Tosic. In short, there is nothing surprising in the fact that statistics Shirokov after the break changed dramatically. Of the 33 programs of its 29 steel precise reached the destination, and each of the four exacerbating transmission.

At the end of the match, the captain of the Russian team gave 6 exacerbating and sharp passes (5 exact). All other players red-blue had accumulated a total of 10. An impressive Roman and share transfers, which are aimed at development of the attacks – 84 percent of the total amount (46 of 55). That is the game Shirokov almost does not slow down, blank by rolling the ball across the field and did not think to do. These figures – is his business card. And not some martial arts.

In summary, against “Ufa” we saw the very Shirokov, who shone in the national team and “Krasnodar”. Yes, it is not spreading in the tackle, the defense takes part in so far as, sometimes denoting the selection visibility. However Slutsky from him this and does not require – novice red and blue just need to correctly play some game episodes to get the ball in certain areas and to convert scenes in scoring chances

This Shirokov. He knows almost the best in Russia. What’s he on Tuesday and showed all.
