“Spartacus “played below his level in the WORLD RPL Round 18 game with”Urals football expert Valery Nepomniachtchi told Euro‑Football.Ru.
On Saturday, Spartak drew 2-2 with Urals in the WORLD RPL 18th round home game.
Is the intrigue in the championship race dead?
– Almost. At first it seemed to me that there was no chance, but now 8 points is a big gap.
– The main event of the tour is Artem Dzyuba’s hat-trick, or is it something else for you?
— There were a lot of interesting things, but Artyom, as always, topped it all. And so, “Zenith” vividly manifests itself. Even brighter than I thought. It can be seen that they are quite a manageable team, although doubts may arise. Still, there are a lot of Brazilians, they are not very motivated, but in fact everything is in order there. It’s a surprise with a plus sign.
– How do you assess the failures of CSKA? What is the main problem of this team now?
– The army team disappointed Sochi with their defeat. But I connect this not only with the fact that the southerners were led by Berdyev, who, as expected, builds it. Still, the problems with the army team will not improve in any way. Especially in defense. In the last game, only one central defender played. Nevertheless, I still expected CSKA to continue to compete with Zenit.
– And who surprised with a plus sign?
—Khimki. The team lost almost a hundred percent of the roster, new people came in, and ultimately there are guys playing there. We can expect anything from them. “Torpedo” and “Khimki” – these are two victims, which everyone expects to collapse, and “Avtozavodtsy” is also surprised. They did not lose to Krasnodar. Moreover, they could win. So, whatever people say, I like the Russian championship because there is a fight at all levels, with the exception of Zenit. For the start of March, playing at the level our clubs have been playing at is great. It hasn’t been like that for a long time.
– Did Spartak play enough to win the match against Urals or is a draw logical?
– We have to accept the fact that another combat unit has appeared – this is the Urals, which plays good, high-quality football. The guys have gained confidence in their abilities. When the team is on such courage, it is difficult to deal with it. Spartak played below their level. He felt confused when it seems that they are the favorites, and why then “Ural” does not give in? Especially in Moscow. It is also a good lesson for the Red-Whites. They must understand that there are no clubs in the RPL with which one can play with full legs. You have to put in effort in every game.
After 18 rounds of the WORLD RPL, Zenit is in first place (45 points), Spartak is second (37). Follow Rostov (35), Dynamo (32), CSKA, Akhmat (29 each).
