Russian coach Igor Shalimov believes that the attacker “Spartak » Alexander Sobolev capable of scoring 20 goals per season.
“Spartak” on Sunday in the match of the 14th day of MIR RPL drew with “Lokomotiv” – 1:1. Sobolev did not enter the field.
— I couldn’t believe that Sobolev would not be in the lineup – yes, he played for the Cup in midweek, but in the end the choice was made in favor of recovered Promes. Promes looks good technically, but he is lost in the center of the attack, he constantly went to the left and Spartak played out of position. On the left, the Red and White created a numerical advantage – Zinkovsky, thanks to Ryabchuk’s runs, which distracted the defenders, had a chance – but the shot was not in the far corner, but in the nearest corner, into the hands of the goalkeeper.
Spartak needs Sobolev because of his characteristics. But, in my opinion, he does a lot of work that does not bring results – Alexander is talented, he is dangerous in the penalty area, he is capable of scoring 20 goals per season. But in the end we see that the attacker runs towards the corners and moves towards the center. Something is happening inside, Sobolev is needed on the field, not on the bench. And Promes is starting to shy away from the center forward position, he doesn’t know this job, he goes where he is comfortable. But in the end, Spartak creates a lot, but scores little – the team scored only 19 goals – this is the worst result in the top six.
How did Spartak miss a goal? Duarte connects, Khlusevich, instead of running to the flank for the Paraguayan to pass about 15 meters, runs towards him – as a result, the sawed-off rifle and rapid attack of Loko began – Glushenkov and Dzyuba did an excellent game on Miranchuk. Out of the blue, we received a red card.
Denisov never came out. It feels like we can forget about the player until the end of the season – Abascal covers the player and, as a result, Moses takes the right position in the second half.
In the second half it was an even match, Loko simply had a territorial advantage, there was no final assault. And in the attack, the opponent allowed Spartak a lot – it turns out that the expulsion played into the hands of the red and white, the best rehabilitation after the defeat of Voronezh turned out, the team played on morale and will. But in reality, there is neither stability nor positional attack. For Loko’s goal, I would like to mention Glushenkov, who first made a beautiful pass between two Spartak players, and then brought Dzyuba into a striking position,” Shalimov quotes RB Sport.
