country champion from St. Petersburg “Zenith”, going to Novosibirsk for a trip to the eighth finals of the Cup of Russia, tested so far only a beginner, Russia opened the player by the name of Khokhlov and was surprised to learn that in the first division football in Russia also able to play …

In anticipation of this meeting was expected to arrive in Novosibirsk, St. Petersburg group backed-up. Players of “Zenith” and without that it is not sweet in the chart after three days of games, let alone fly to Novosibirsk, it seemed, did not want a lot of typed. Yes, and a rival to the impassable can not be attributed – at the pre-season “Siberia” high expectations, supported by Human Resources and gain (which is only ex-goalkeeper Dmitry Borodin), but in the course of the championship Siberians are faced with very serious gambling problems. Which ultimately led to a change in head coach – the club was headed by Sergey Oborin, so far unsuccessfully trying to overcome a swamp standings. Especially great was the interest in the match against “Zenit” – success in countering the champion of the country would be a good end of the black band.

But against all expectations, at the stadium in Novosibirsk “Zenith” was released in the very near-optimal – from outright reservists in the field from the first minute went just Ionov. It was interesting to watch the rookie Petrograd – French Pyuygrene that this match was a bunch of defense with Slovakia Gubochanom. My first impression of this player quite a rainbow – it is clear that trumps physical data of the player is not limited, and the best football prevents him his lack of form to demonstrate – after all the French season has not started and the player just starts to “run in” in season.

Another factor that could affect the game to a Frenchman – an artificial field of the local stadium, which Sebastian is quite possible, saw for the first time in my life. All these factors led to the center of defense, “Zenith”, where Gubochan also did not shine, general features like a testing ground for skill level Malafeeva – Vyacheslav cope until then, but the thoroughfare in the defense lawyer alarmed.

The first dangerous moment at the gate of the national champion emerged already in the 6th minute – first, Gorshkov, and then Malafeev successfully extinguished the fire, which is organized with Pyuygrene Gubochanom – could excel Medvedev and Martins. Twenty minutes later, Martins, outwit Gubochana, “pushed his way” on the right brow and shot by Medvedev – beat Alexei lacked accuracy. In general, be bolder (ponaglee) players, “Siberia” in such blemish Pyuygrene and Gubochana, a match can be addressed in the first half – but somewhere in high gear there was no one to make of Siberians, but somewhere before the final hit it just never came.

And twenty minutes after the start of the second half of the meeting “Siberia” has once again had a dangerous right-flank attack, which ended in the penalty area and fed exact impact Alexei Medvedev – 1-0 – middle peasants led the first division in a match against the champion of the country. Immediately thereafter, on the field instead of passive Dominguez went Khokhlov. This young player has made a very positive impression on the audience, so, I think, and Dick Advocaat. Some “one-legged” remembered hav a great left foot, which made some very “tasty” gear.

Throughout the match in the “Zenith” aktivnichal more than any other Turkish Tekke – forward successfully fought the entire defense of the hosts, but after a missed goal came just from the Turks any danger to the gates of “Siberia”. True to the final blows it in any of the attacks did not happen. But Siberians could double by – Martins in the 86th minute with all the same right wing went on a lone Malafeev, but hit the attacker walked into the near corner of the bar in millimeters.

never developed a single dangerous moment at the gate Urich, “Zenith” was defeated, the reason is simple – to the Siberians more like a Gubochan with Pyuygrene could not. Do not be such bad mistakes (yes even in such number) on the defensive, it is not clear who would come out victorious in this duel. “Siberia” in the eighth, and “Zenith” is a bit podrazgruzil myself very hard fall.
