A personal note about Skopintsev’s game: he started to disappear in the middle of the field, I was angry

“We relied on quick attacks and the opponent’s standards, so (Nicholas) Marichal started. Also, Skopintsev was ill, did not go to Krasnodar, received treatment in Moscow and returned to the team only on Thursday. Marichal is not like that. Skopintsev was active while playing up front, but according to the sum of the factors, this It was my decision. We extended the play to the wings, we wanted to use this factor, but it did not work. Then Skopintsev started to disappear into the game. I was angry in the middle of the field, where (Luis) Chavez was playing,” said Personal.

“I talked to the players the other day, we were expecting quick counter-attacks from Spartak, but there was a mistake. We did not have enough players in the penalty area in the first half, but the team reacted well according to the course of the game.” He said that we need more aggression and desire in the locker room, not just short passes. Something worked in the second half, there were good moments. Unfortunately, the implementation has failed in the last four matches. We can score a goal. We can’t score a lot of goals. The attack is not working as it should. Not Smolov or Tyukavin, but attack in general. That’s why we lost even though they deserved the draw. The attackers could not score a goal either today or. a week ago. When this happens, others have a chance, this applies to both Smolov and Tyukavin,” Lichka added.
