Victor Monday: Mancini may have overestimated himself and underestimated the Russian championship

It is very symbolic that the first round of the championship ended with a game of leaders — Zenit and Lokomotiv. However, ask someone before the season, that it is the teams of Mancini and Semin will argue for the right to occupy the first line in the middle of the distance, hardly anyone could answer this question with absolute accuracy. Zenit is the favorite? This is — yes. A new coach, known all over Europe, a lot of money spent on serious transfers. «Zenith» immediately breathed confidence and superiority over other teams. And who considered the contender for the first place «Locomotive»? Probably only the fans of this team. Who else? In fact, in addition to «Zenith» there is a champion of the country — «Spartak», and CSKA. They, however, especially not spent on transfers.

And this is the result of the first half. «Lokomotiv» — the leader, «Zenith», shattered at home by railway workers, goes second, CSKA hard to hold on to third place, and Spartak and do not even fall into the top five. The gap in the glasses is not critical, but the champion is already missing a lot. Interesting thing, by the way. I remember how in the past season, speaking of the leadership of «Spartacus», many immediately led to a place and out of place the weak performance of the army and «Zenith». Like, only it and even luck allowed Spartak to become the leaders of the season. And, what today? «Lokomotiv» is leading, because weakened «Spartak», CSKA and «Zenith»? I do not think that it is necessary to judge this level of our best teams in the same way, and about the whole championship. Yes, it is not the best in Europe, I myself often stressed its obvious weaknesses, but not the worst. And Mancini, perhaps, overestimated himself and underestimated the Russian championship.

This is the same as talking about the tactics that coaches choose for the upcoming match. You read sometimes and you are surprised with some conclusions: here the coach tactically lost, and then — he won. As if everything is only in it. But what about character, will, team play and team spirit, discipline? Remember the duel between Zenit and Lokomotiv? The first time for the hosts, the second — for the guests. Zabey «Zenith» before the break and things could have turned out differently. And after the break … I got the impression that Yuri Pavlovich as if dragged the hosts of the field into a trap. Lulled vigilance. And, if so, he managed to do it all one hundred percent.

Yes, there was a preparation for the game, tactical plans, but life made its own adjustments. And after the match we saw on the parsing, with what errors the defense of Zenit, the same Ivanovich, for example, acted. The most experienced person who played a lot. But he screwed up a number of episodes. And, what happened to the middle line of the team? Failed, disappeared? Do not score forwards, why? Yes, it happens that does not carry. However, remembering my previous words, for example, about Kokorin, I’m not going to refuse them now. The guy added and noticeable. And in the match with «Locomotive» it was found out that when he stopped getting help from partners (where was the midfield gone?), Like Snyk and Kokorin. Another famous character — Dziuba still does not fall into the concept of the game Mancini. He began to constantly go on the field in recent matches, but does not score. Not a single ball. For the striker — it’s a disaster.

As for the «Locomotive», the composition of the team is very decent. And it’s not just whether the railwaymen are lucky now or not. This is all, sorry, empty troubles. And who sees Semin very skillfully remaking the team? It was said that one of the brothers, Alexei Miranchuk, would leave. And he stayed and now with his brother does a lot for the team. Foreigners who have high speed and good technique, too, pulled themselves up. How wonderful played Farfan in St. Petersburg! Not straightforward, but with fiction, having time and escape, and throwing the ball.

So I am pleased with such a rivalry between Zenit and Lokomotiv. Of course, losing, moreover, so large in his field — it’s bad. However, I believe that nothing has ended yet. «Zenith» saw on this example that they will fight against him. With some talk about the quality of players bought gold medals you will not take. And you can not frighten anybody. In addition, Mancini must carefully understand his farm. Collect talented players — it’s half the battle. It is necessary to make so that from them the command has turned out. And, as soon as the St. Petersburg club together with the coaches looks more closely at its rivals in the Russian championship, and not only in European competition, it will again appear as a very serious force.

Of course, I would not discount the «Spartacus» and CSKA. I do not presume to predict what will happen to their game in the second round, however, if it turns out to be just as unconvincing in a number of matches, their places at the top of the table will be occupied not only by Lokomotiv, but also by Krasnodar and Ural … There are enough people. And this will not mean weakness of the whole championship. Rather, we will state the weakness and incoherency of individual teams.

Один комментарий для “Victor Monday: Mancini may have overestimated himself and underestimated the Russian championship

  1. Зенит зажрался. Манчини последний раз, что то выигрывал: кубок Турции в 2013-14 г. За последние 4 игры не было победы в ЧР. Проигран матч с ЛОКО фактически за первое место, у себя дома при полных трибунах. Позор. Да еще 0:3.
    Манчини упустил все шансы. Поначалу новые игроки приехали и были сильны, но теперь никому ничего не надо. Бабки идут на счет и всем на все наплевать. Нету ни мысли, ни качества игры. Ничего нет. Манчини уже наелся как толстый кот. И ему наш чемпионат не нужен.

Виктор Понедельник - Манчини, возможно, переоценил себя и недооценил российский чемпионат

Очень символично, что первый круг чемпионата завершился игрой лидеров – «Зенита» и «Локомотива». Правда, спроси кого-нибудь перед началом сезона, что именно команды Манчини и Семина будут спорить за право занимать первую строчку на половине дистанции, вряд ли кто смог бы ответить на этот вопрос со стопроцентной точностью. «Зенит» — фаворит?
