Dull zeros in Luzhniki

[ad_1]

The largest stadium in the country deserves not this kind of football.

RPL. 12th round. Moscow. BSA Luzhniki. Torpedo – Pari NN 0:0.

The boring match of the 12th round was held at the main stadium of the 2018 World Cup. A little more than 4 thousand spectators witnessed the dull rolling of the ball.

Already at the beginning of the game, the Avtozavodtsy lost their central defender Ilya Kutepov, instead of whom they urgently released Damien Le Tallec. “Pari NN” in the first half also made a forced substitution, releasing Dmitry Rybchinsky on the field, since Dmitry Stotsky could not continue the game.

Although the Nizhny Novgorod team inflicted more blows on the goal of the Torpedo team, the score on the scoreboard remained the same – at zero. The hosts at the end of the second 45-minutes remained in the minority – midfielder Ravil Netfullin was sent off for two yellow cards. “Torpedo” was able to keep a draw, and given the way the car manufacturers get points, it’s worth recognizing this as a good result.

Muscovites (6 points) occupy the last, 16th place in the RPL standings, Nizhny Novgorod with 13 points – on the 10th line.

“The first half hour of the first half was bad. The second half was better. Spoiled the picture only removal and the last 15 minutes of the match. Well done guys. We try to play aggressively. The opponent let us play, leaving a lot of free zones. Regarding Netfullin: there was a fight for the ball, Ravil lost the position, stepped on the opponent’s foot. The referee showed the second yellow – an obvious violation. The referee, of course, could not give the first yellow card to Ravil in the first half – we doubt it. It could have been warned in words, ”Torpedo head coach Nikolai Savichev summed up the game.

“We created a lot of chances in the first half. Milson, Suleymanov, Stotsky, Krotov, Rybchinsky hit the post. After the break, Gotsuk, Yuldoshev, Yansane had opportunities to take the opponent’s goal… But, unfortunately, there was no player today who would put a bright end to this match. We have to realize our moments. We will work on this. Of course, playing at such a pace as in the first half was energy-consuming. We made substitutions to keep up the pace of the game. And the players who appeared on the field added dynamics to us. But, I repeat, we did not have enough accuracy in the final phase of the attack, ”Pari NN head coach Mikhail Galaktionov was verbose at the post-match press conference.
