“A defeat against Ural could be a disappointment for Krasnodar” – Shalimov

Russian coach Igor Shalimov believes that for “Krasnodar “A defeat in the 16th round of the WORLD RPL with “could be a big blow”.Ural “

The meeting took place on Sunday in Yekaterinburg and ended with a victory for Ural with a score of 3:1. During the match, the Krasnodar goalkeeper was replaced due to injury. Matvei Safonov and after the final whistle the striker received a red card John Cordoba for an insulting gesture towards the assistant referee.

— After the national team matches, Krasnodar plays hard and has not won a single match. Now teams had all three midfielders, plus the main central defender and striker – that’s a problem. Before its long winless streak, Ural had a successful start to the season – in matches with strong teams, it moved forward and acted aggressively, with pressure. “Krasnodar” against Kulakov, who, in my opinion, is the most active RPL player among the full-backs, put Olusegun on his flank. But in this way the “bulls” showed that they were afraid of their opponent, that they were playing with him and not with themselves.

“Krasnodar” is the leader, but in Yekaterinburg they thought about how to contain the opponent and did not play from the side of strength. “Zenit” or CSKA is one thing, “Ural” is another. The Bulls weren’t like them. The key moment of the match was the episode when Matvey Safonov ran towards the ball outside the penalty area, collided with his own and, as a result, the “bulls” lost two players due to injuries and were exhausted. If there is a pass behind the defender and he makes it in time, there is no need to interfere or get involved in this fight. Because when the goalkeeper gets exhausted, he just gets in the way. If the team wants to be at the top, we can’t get burned like that, we can’t underestimate such small things. And here there is a struggle for the championship, it is necessary to give the goalkeeper a clear understanding of what to do and what not to do.

In my opinion, the way Krasnodar played, the story of Matvey’s exit and what Cordoba did after the match is a big blow to the team, this could be the collapse of championship hopes. The surprise of this match is that the championship contender did not come to win, but not to lose to a team that had not won 10 rounds.

I didn’t understand what Cordoba didn’t like. Why was all this shown? What are judges responsible for here? This is a serious setup for the team,” quotes RB Sport Shalimov.
