Famous Russian coach Sergey Balahnin noted in an interview with the online publication "Evro-Futbol.Ru" that Spartak's forward Anton Zabolotniy led the team to defeat in the match against Baltika (0:3) in the second round of the RPL. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, Zabolotniy definitely left the team behind. However, it is not only him; it is possible to play with ten people, many teams play like that.
Spartak, in such a situation, should have played especially well. The coach believes that the team must not lose caution during the game from now on.
Because Spartak players received yellow cards during the match, and even a second red card was approaching. I do not know what their decisions were based on, said Balahnin.
The referee Karasyov did not make decisions that would disrupt the game, he added. Spartak's forward received a direct red card for dangerous play in the 11th minute of the match.
As a result, the "red-whites" lost 0:3 at home. This defeat was a heavy test for the team and showed the need to increase caution and discipline in future matches.
The coach believes that to prevent such situations, players must take their actions seriously. Additionally, team managers and coaches should also take extra measures to improve the game.
Overall, the Spartak team needs to play stronger in the future and avoid such mistakes.
