Former Spartak footballer Andrei Tikhonov told “” what are the main reasons for the unsuccessful match of the Moscow team after the resumption of the WORLD RPL season.
In the last four league matches, “Spartacus » victory, two draws and defeat. The Red-Whites are in 3rd place in the Russian Championship standings with 41 points. Behind the leaderZenith ” is 10 points.
– “Spartak” this spring is somehow very difficult. What is the reason?
— The fact is that they looked very good in the pre-season cup, at the start of the league they played very well against Loko in the cup. Probably too many expectations, the hype around Spartak, the championship race with Zenit, maybe some refereeing mistakes somewhere when they lost points, but they were.
In total, everything fell on failures, plus the loss of players at different times. And, of course, when you have 3-4 chances to score and you don’t score, you don’t win. We’ll wait, they try, the coach is great, he inspired the guys with the idea. Yes, somewhere there is bad luck and lack of skill. One is superimposed on the other, someone is looking for excuses, and someone, on the contrary, is swearing. Every little thing plays a role, especially when there are problems with refereeing errors. Because they influence when you score, but the goal is not counted. When there are moments that deprive you of points, and you fight for high places, of course, it is psychologically superimposed and everyone gets angry.
– Wasn’t the appearance of Promes as a substitute in the match against Akhmat and his subsequent return to the bench a mistake by the medical staff?
– Who knows? The coach says he has been training for the last few days in the general group and there were no problems. Maybe he wasn’t ready for the timing. You must be part of the team to know exactly the whole situation. The coach is not an enemy, letting Promes in and then losing him again for three weeks is a mistake. But if he says he trained in the general group and is ready to play normally, then you have to understand him inside.
– Is the championship race over for Spartak? Too many lost points.
“Of course, there is a big difference. There are still games to come and the teams will still drop points, maybe Zenit will lose as well. And Rostov is slowly gaining points, with difficulty, but already in a confident second place. Let’s see what it all looks like, but I think in the end everyone will still lose points.
– Can Spartak still catch up and overtake Rostov? Or do we have to think about how to keep CSKA and Dynamo away?
– CSKA have gained momentum, they are three points ahead of Spartak and six points ahead of Rostov. Let’s see what happens at the end. The grounds are improving, the performances of the teams are at the top. The most important thing is that the refereeing moments do not interfere. There are mistakes and problems that don’t lead to anything good. Let’s not blame it all on the judges, of course. If you don’t realize your chances, that doesn’t mean the referee is bad. Let the teams take care of themselves. If you aspire to occupy high positions, you must not be mistaken,” Tikhonov told .
