– “Admiral” soil “Salavat Yulaev” in this series. Although, in my opinion, the Ufa club is no better than the Admiral in terms of composition. He only stood out Sasha Khmelevsky . There is no one else to single out in the entire series. Even Josh Ho-Sang, who jumped out of a snuff box like hell, caused a kind of blizzard, but nothing more. He didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.
Well, how you and Khmelevsky alone shovel such a dense defense as the Admiral? In addition, goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov played well there. I won’t call this game outstanding, but it’s good.
Well, Salavat Yulaev’s composition is no better. Yes, there are famous players there. But the Ufa team made such mistakes in defense! And the goalkeeper frankly played badly. Ufa has only created something at home for the most part. And in Vladivostok their majority was also weak.
‘Salavat Yulaev’ only clung to the result thanks to Khmelevsky’s individual talent,” Mukhometov told .
For the first time since 2017, Salavat Yulaev failed to qualify for the playoffs beyond the first round.
