Broke – repaired. Guilherme almost drowned Loko, but hit a penalty and saved – Premier League News – Football

You do not remember when the last time at the beginning of the Russian football season, the schedule agreed to everyone. Year after year, its editors are scolded indiscriminately. This time, they got the head coach of the country's current champions – Yuri Semin.

– Tell me, according to which principle the schedule of the games of the season has been established? July 27, we fight with the army team for the Super Bowl, two days later on the third – "Ufa", in the second round – "Spartacus". And all this for nine days at the beginning of the season.

What is the urgent need? Why was it impossible to hold the Super Bowl on the 26th? By what principle has culture been sown in the calendar? Let someone cleverly explain this because there is no understanding, – the trainer of the Lokomotiv tore up and the metal.

The situation for red-green worsened 120 minutes on the terrible congestion in Nizhny Novgorod Novgorod and a stupid defeat of CSKA. Starting the season with a loss in the match for the cup is always a shot, and the circumstances are extremely difficult.

Some Lokomotiv leaders have not resisted the army: Igor Denisov and Vedran Corluka are not ready to transfer these charges. And two days later, they had to go to an artificial site in Ufa, where the fighting has always been visibly very violent.

Semin's plans clearly did not account for losses at the outset, especially in the fall. Champions League and on this stretch to avoid draws and defeats in the home league will be almost impossible. Thus, all the leaders of the "Locomotive" for the match against "Ufa" came from the first minutes.

Here and Corluka, and Denisov, and Manuel Fernandes, and Alexei Miranchuk, and Maciej Fishus, played the whistle. The only change in the composition of red-green – Jefferson Farfan, appeared in the place of Anton Miranchuk. Along with this, the scheme has also changed – Semin dropped the usual 4-4-2, which the team uses in the counterattack model, and rose to 4-2-3-1 , focusing on balloon control, realizing that Ufa had yet to give up and sit low on its doorsteps.

But only in the match against CSKA came the big problems of "Loco" with the center of the field. Denisov looked heavy and did not always follow his player, and Dmitry Barinov did not show himself properly in the insurance, or advancing the ball. As a result, almost all rebounds after the standards and awnings have taken the team from the army. Due to railway workers lost their main weapon – fast counterattacks using free space

The same script was read in the match against Ufa. The team Sergey Tomarov made from the start red-green attack positively, and after losing, the opponent quickly handed the ball to Igbun, trying to use his qualities of high speed

. "Locomotive" for most of the meeting tries to open Ufimtsev's defense, then gets goals after counter-attacks, standards or long-range strikes. And if still succeeds then the Muscovites are saved by the same fine, angular and unexpected blows because of the penalty limits .

The current game has not differed overall from the general trend. The difference lies in the details. Thus, for example, "Ufa" in his counterattacks attempted to open the flank of Vladislav Ignatiev. Bojan Jokich climbed very high and played the walls with Igbun, trying to get the partner into the penalty area penetrating the transmission. Under Sergey Semak, the Ufimiens acted more simply. The ball has progressed through the sides at the expense of long pbades, and after the losses the hard pressure has been activated.

In the match against Lokomotiv Ufa Tomarov has hardly used this element, focusing on the areas in his half field. It was more interesting.

This was particularly good in the second half, when the railroaders went more actively and started to leave a little more space behind. "Ufa" has created many good moments. Guilherme had to include the mongoose's reaction when Igbun hit his head almost at close range.

But in the opening segment of the meeting, the moments were created by Lokomotiv. Here and canceled because of Eder offside, and a dangerous shot at Farfan after the selection. It should be noted that the Semin team tried to act in various ways, and if a rapid gathering of the ball and penetrating programs did not pbad, rapid flank changes through transfers and then crosses were in progress. But that was not a success

. In the second half, the Lokomotiv started to act more vertically. Barinov started spending much less time in the defensive duties and more aggressively propelled the ball towards Alexei Miranchuk, cutting 2-3 players from Ufa. The attackers quickly restored their positions and the draws at Lokomotiv do not have enough speed

It is difficult to say with certainty that the new Grzegorz Kryhovyak could radically change the situation but the power and stability are just added. Barinov gives a large volume, but allows too much rejection, including in key episodes, when the attack of the team depends on the quality of his transfer.

Kryhovyak reads the game an order of magnitude better, more aggressively under pressure and acts better interceptions. When the Pole played for "Seville", on this indicator, he was among the best players in La Liga (3.7 interceptions per match). This is very important in situations where the team must return possession.

And in the match against Ufa, Lokomotiv had problems with that. Responding to the attacks of the opponent, Barinov was often expelled and stuck in half position. But it is rather because of the lack of experience and the head too hot. In some episodes, Dmitry clearly lacks calm. This is a solvable problem.

Obviously, Kryhovyak was acquired under the Champions League, where "Lokomotiv" will have to defend most of the time. Obviously, Semin does not forget the scheme with three central defenders and a dense central field. This paradigm perfectly matches the world champion Benedikt Höwedes, whose transfer must be completed one of these days

He is a man with a very good arsenal of equipment that will look ideally like a central right-back but who can also be useful as extreme, acting on all the side. Obviously, Ignatiev will not come out all season alone. If on the left, in addition to Rybus, Loko has Lysov with Vitaly Denisov, then only Boris Rotenberg is on the right. For Timofey Margasov, apparently, Semin does not count. It is alarming only that the recent seasons of the Hevedes are completely ruined by wounds.

Well, the match against Ufa is almost over with a canonical defeat for the railroaders. At the 90th minute, Farfan was supposed to score after a good pbad from Fernandes, but sent the ball past the lineup, and after three minutes of Solomon Kverkveli Igbun's breakaway in the penalty shot by Guilherme. Penalty crazy, but almost indisputable.

The same Igbun went, but the Lokomotiv goalkeeper corrected his mistake and saved a point for the team. Gilerme opened the left corner and did everything for the player "Ufa" just hit there. 0: 0 is the result that was read in advance, but it might not have happened
