“Talks about the resignation of the head coach of Spartak have not become quieter” – Kommersant FM

Dynamo Moscow lost points in a home match with one of the RPL outsiders, Fakel. The meeting ended in a draw (0:0). Experts called this result one of the most unexpected in the 11th round. There were two emotional matches last weekend. Krasnodar beat Rostov at home (3:2), although after the first half the hosts were inferior (0:2). And in Moscow, in the Spartak-CSKA derby at the Otkritie Arena, former army player Jesus Medina saved the red-and-whites from defeat by equalizing the score in the 97th minute. The meeting ended in a draw (2:2). For details, see Kommersant FM sports commentator Vladimir Osipov.

Fans always expect fire from a derby, and this time the teams did not disappoint these expectations. Yes, we can talk about mistakes, about the poor state of CSKA and Spartak at the moment, but is this really important when emotions are running high and everything on the field is sparkling with the players’ desire to win. And what kind of goals were scored in this meeting was absolutely a sight for sore eyes. For example, both goals that Milan Gajic sent into the red-and-white goal, making the first double in his career. And the goal from Spartak’s Quincy Promes at the end of the first half, after which the score became 1:1, can be safely presented as the most beautiful goals of the tour.

So, anyone who, despite the weather, still decided to go to the Otkritie Arena, definitely did not make a mistake. By the way, more than 25 thousand people gathered in the stands. But the most incredible thing, of course, was the ending. The army team was leading (2:1), and when it seemed that the winner of the derby was clear, Spartak fought back. This happened in the 97th minute.

But, despite this ending, after the final whistle, almost all experts came to the conclusion that CSKA played better football that day. Even the legendary Spartak player Andrei Tikhonov spoke about this:

“In general, CSKA was more specific in its attacks and in their quality. Both the army team and Spartak have a lightweight attack. But with CSKA it still looked more correct.”

Moreover, former army player Igor Korneev openly stated that under Guillermo Abascal, Spartak is no longer the same:

“Of course they scored important points. But it seems to me that with Abascal, Spartak no longer looks like anything.”

It seems that despite the incredible rescue in the derby, talk about the resignation of the head coach of the national team has not become quieter. According to football expert Vladislav Radimov, Guillermo Abascal himself is not against leaving his post:

“I think that Abaskal is waiting to be fired. With the lineup he chooses for the game, his substitutions and his whole appearance, he shows that he doesn’t want to work here. The result is here insofar as. And he understands perfectly well that the sooner he is fired, the more offers he will receive.”

Now there is a two-week pause coming in the RPL, and who knows, maybe there will be clarity in the story with Abaskal and Spartak at this time. Well, for now, fans will be watching the Russian national football team, which will hold two matches. This coming Thursday, Valery Karpin’s team will play against the Cameroon team. The match will take place in Moscow at the Dynamo stadium. And at the beginning of next week, October 16, we will have the Kenya-Russia game, which will take place in Turkey.
