“Spartacus » in the semi-finals of the FONBET Cup of Russia with «Urals “It’s going as a favorite, but it will be difficult for the red-whites at home, believes the former Spartak footballer Sergei Shavlo .
The first meeting of Spartak and Ural in the framework of the semi-finals of the RPL FONBET path of the Russian Cup will be held in Moscow on Tuesday, starting at 8:00 p.m. Moscow time. Earlier in the WORLD RPL, the Red-Whites and the Urals were tied (2-2).
– Let’s see if Spartak can rehabilitate with Urals for a draw in the championship today. In the first game of the cup you must make a start, because the confrontation will be two games. The opponents know each other, it will not be easy, the matches of this tournament are not easy. But Spartak are stronger in terms of quality of players, so hopefully their skills will say that today.
Yes, the Red-Whites go into the game against the Urals as favorites, but the Cup favorites can still only be on paper. What will happen on the pitch – we will see. It will be very difficult for Spartak today, because all the teams that come to Otkritie Arena always play defensively and rely on counterattacks. It was the same in the last game with Yekaterinburg. The main thing is not to concede unnecessary goals.
Aren’t the Urals the most underrated team of the season? The Ekaterinburgers have changed coaches, they have 15 matches unbeaten, so the team is on the rise. They play disciplined and selfless, so there is a result. Moreover, the Urals have experienced players, like Bikfalvi, who, despite his age, scores and returns.
I don’t know if Gancharenko will still have a chance at a top club if he beats Spartak in the cup and finishes the championship well. I don’t think he will beat the Red-Whites. But anything can happen, Viktor Mikhailovich has already been to CSKA, the second time I think he will not come there. Now that he is doing well at Ural, Ivanov is happy with his job at the club. But if they make him a good financial offer, then maybe he will go to another team. And so, I think everything is fine for him in Yekaterinburg.
Gancharenko does better in the intermediate teams, because there is less pressure in these teams. In the top 5 clubs, there is always more moral pressure and big tasks. In medium teams, Gancharenko is allowed to work quietly, which is why success comes. And in the top teams, the fans always put pressure on it, it’s much more difficult there,” Shavlo told Metaratings.ru.
