After the first derby of the week Victor Goncharenko with such genuine chagrin he spoke about the forced replacement of Dzagoev that it seemed that Alan's non-participation in the match against Spartak was a foregone conclusion. Nevertheless, the red-blue midfielder was among the first eleven to warm up on Sunday. The tape on the back of the player's thigh was reminiscent of the damage suffered. The change took place after the publication of the start protocol and the announcement of the lineups. Frustrated, Dzagoev went to the press box, and Nababkin went to the lawn.
The main "soldier" in nine positions repeated the composition, which on Wednesday dismantled Lokomotiv for parts. Both reshuffles happened on the defensive, one planned and one force majeure. The oldest player on the team Ignashevich sat down on a bench - Vasily Berezutsky got up from it. The left-back / midfielder was originally supposed to be played by Golovin, but after an emergency exchange of Dzagoev for Nababkin, he settled down in a more familiar position in the center of the field.
Spartak Aesculapians for Derby No. 1 put on their feet almost all the patients of the club hospital. Not everyone found a place in the starting lineup. If Luiz Adriano Massimo Carrera determined immediately into the basis, then Ze Luis remained to wait for his chance in reserve - until the start of the second half. Popov got another opportunity to prove himself - and, looking ahead, I will note: he used it well.
The game
The players compensated the spectators with a stormy start for the quarter-hour delay in the match ("thanks" to the Formula-1 stage). Two minutes of the meeting had not passed, and the red-blue sectors were already inflamed. During the first attack, CSKA could open an account more than once or even twice, but with blows Alexey Berezutsky and Ionova Rebrov coped with it, and Golovin missed his chance on his own. Superchance!
“Spartak” accepted the challenge - and a merry game on a collision course began. Fernando tried on the goal from the standard, Zobnin worried Akinfeev with a shot from the field. At first, the "army men" were sharper, more specifically in the offensive. After the lumbago Natcho almost cut the ball into his own goal Tusky. Vitinho's tight shot was parried by the Spartak keeper with some difficulty.
Delighted the red and white rostrum Luiz Adriano... For half an hour, the Brazilian goalscorer was invisible on the field - and thus, it seems, "slept" on the watchmen. Trouble fell on the master's head from the problem flank. Golovin did not catch up with Popov, but Vasily Berezutsky did not keep track of the guests' only center forward. The 12th number of "Spartak" did not find it difficult to outplay Akinfeev from several meters.
The standard came to the rescue of the red and blue. As always, the active Fernandez forced Kombarov to foul, and Berezutsky # 6 famously shot his head after a pass from Natcho. In this case, Glushakov failed. The captain of the red and white did not have time to cover the CSKA stopper.
During the break, both coaches, without saying a word, made a substitution - which is typical of an attacking orientation. Luiz Adriano gave way on the front line to Ze Luis, while at CSKA the nominal bek Nababkin was replaced by Tosic, who is more accustomed to offensive operations. The hosts went ahead more aggressively - and missed the oncoming blow. Within a few seconds Vasin was in the shoes of the hero and antihero of the day. It was Victor who did not let the ball over the white line after Luis's breakthrough, but instead of kicking Krasava to hell, he hesitated and allowed himself to be robbed by Zobnin. And there Popov arrived in time, having chalked up the second assist in the derby. In less than an hour, the CSKA conceded the same number of goals as in the previous eight rounds.
In a mini-pause after V. Berezutsky's "raid" on Dzhikia, Goncharenko managed to freshen up the attack, replacing Ionov with Olanar, and gave instructions to Vernbloom. The content of the latter was easy to guess. The Swede has scored important goals more than once, remembering his bombing youth. So this time, he moved forward, reassigning the Natcho support zone.
The game opened up even more, and with an interval of several minutes the teams exchanged killer moments. Phenomenal double save made Igor Akinfeev- First, Zobnin parried the blow at point-blank range, and then pulled the ball out from under Luis's feet. In retaliation Vitinho already ran around Rebrov and aimed at the empty net. Unfortunately for the owners, Jikia caught up and knocked the ball out.
4 points before Spartak's championship after winning the derby. How it was
Everything that happens around the main derby of Russia is in real time.
Five minutes before the final whistle, there was a reason to recall Promes' lack of fright in the derby. The fast-footed Dutchman scored all the current RFPL participants - except for CSKA. Didn't score this time either. After a quick breakaway of Quincy from Tosic, the stand “played” for the hosts.
Six minutes added to the main time Vladislav Bezborodov- a consequence of two stoppages of the match due to the use of pyrotechnics by spectators. However, CSKA did not manage to avoid the first home defeat in the championship at the VEB Arena.
Two years ago CSKA “congratulated” “Spartak” on their new home with their own victory. The red and white returned the favor to the red and blue.
Refereeing
For the first time, the fans of both teams tensed after the appointment of a referee from St. Petersburg to the "get-together". The second - after the "penalty hat-trick" Bezborodov in Kaspiysk in the middle of the week. The work of a referee in a derby in any case would be closely considered by both opposing camps, and recent events have further sharpened the attention on the man with the whistle.
To the referee's credit, in general he coped with his duties. Bezborodov played the game clearly and confidently - he suppressed open rudeness, while remaining in the shadow of the main characters. Perhaps the referee did not give the guests one card - for a dangerous tackle by Glushakov to Wernbloom - but this did not affect the outcome of the match. At least directly.
On April 30, Sunday, the next main match season. Prior to that, in the 23rd round in the same match, Spartak defeated Zenit 2: 1 and almost closed the question of the championship, but in the 24th round they suddenly lost to Rostov 0: 3, and the question surfaced again. The CSKA - Spartak match is another answer to it.
The main derby of the country CSKA - Spartak will take place on April 30 at the VEB Arena, the new CSKA stadium, and will start at 17.00 Moscow time.
CSKA - Spartak: forecast
Red and white are in first place in the table with 57 points. CSKA has seven points less. Thus, if the army team wins, there will be only four points behind. True, there are only four rounds to the end. In any case, CSKA has only one option - to win. In addition, the team gained a great move, which was shown by the last match with Lokomotiv (4: 0). CSKA have not lost 13 matches in a row.
Predictions for this truly interesting game you can find different ones. One of the well-known domestic bookmakers believes more in army players, the coefficient for their victory is 2.37. The success of Spartak is estimated with a coefficient of 3.11, a draw - 3.25.
If you look at the statistics of the last matches between these teams, it says only one thing: there should not be a draw, it’s a painfully uncompromising confrontation. Most popular account recent years- 1: 0 in favor of one of the teams, but, for example, in the first round "Spartak" beat CSKA 3: 1, and two years ago lost at home 0: 4. This match is really unpredictable.

"Spartak" - CSKA 3: 1 VIDEO of goals
Spartak defender Dmitry Kombarov shared his expectations for the upcoming match.
“The derby is not yet beginning to feel. We were getting ready for the game with Ural - it was the most important thing. Now we need to analyze everything and prepare for CSKA. Will it be a decisive game? Every match is decisive for us,” he said.
Midfielder "Spartak" Ivelin Popov said that his team will tune in to win.
“There is still time before the derby with CSKA, and we will prepare ourselves for victory,” he said.
The chances of winning the opponents were also assessed by the former striker of “Spartak” Vladimir Beschastnykh.
“When Spartak and CSKA meet, the position of the teams in the table, the number of points they score does not affect the game. This can only have an impact on the psychological state of the players. , of course, “Spartak” should become the champion. But I am rooting for him. I don’t make predictions - they don’t come true. But I think the match will be effective. Full stands will drive their teams forward. And no one canceled emotions. In such an atmosphere, the players want to show everything that they are capable of in attack, "he said.
In turn, CSKA midfielder Bibras Natkho announced that his team must defeat Spartak.
"A special day for me! The day before my third son was born, besides, it was my mother's birthday. Therefore, a crushing victory is a gift to my family. After the heads, the guys" rocked the baby ", congratulating me in this way. It was a pleasure for me. I am glad that we have such a friendly team. We realized all the chances that were given to us. It's great, because in previous matches we also created chances, but the ball did not go into the goal. We were more collected. It's good that we did not quit playing, did not give "Lokomotiv" the opportunity to return to the game. It is not always possible to score, but managed to hit the goal, which is very nice. Derby stands apart, and no matter how the teams played before. You can lose 10 matches, but win in the derby. We will come to the derby with fighting spirit and must win, "he said.
CSKA defender Viktor Vasin said that in the match against Spartak his team will show how much stronger they have become.
"I'm waiting full stadium, crazy intensity of passions - both on the football field and in the stands. For the sake of such matches, I probably play football. Is CSKA stronger now than in the fall part of the season? Probably, the derby will show it. Of course, the team has changed dramatically - new tactics, a scheme. Let's see what happens. Can the current Spartak be called the strongest in the last 15 years? It's hard for me to talk about it. In football, episodes are always decisive. But, judging by the points and position in standings, maybe yes. I had to watch Spartak's matches this season, but rather watched replays of dangerous moments and goals in the news. But not only the games of "Spartak", of course. With two kids, it's not easy to find time to watch football on TV. You can watch some matches in the evening - usually it's the Champions League or the English Championship. But it is more like the background, "- said the player.
It is still possible to buy tickets for the CSKA - Spartak match on April 30, 2017. They can be purchased at the box office of the VEB-Arena stadium or using special online services. The cost of penetration starts from 3 thousand rubles.
For the first time in many years, the Derby of All Russia will take place directly within the framework of the championship race. Therefore, the meeting between CSKA and Spartak can be called the central one not only in the 27th round of the current season, but also in the entire 25th draw of the Russian football championship. Five rounds before the finish line, the "red-whites" are ahead of the "red-blues" by seven points. In case of victory, Massimo Carrera's wards will become almost unattainable - in the remaining four matches they will need to score only two points to take the first trophy in 14 years. If Viktor Goncharenko's squad wins, then the fire of intrigue will flare up with renewed vigor, because 4 points - the gap is quite playable, and the calendar in terms of complexity for Moscow clubs is the same. Do not forget that with such an outcome, Zenit may join the chase, which will add hassle to the capital's teams. In general, the outcomes can be different, but, in any case, a lot will be clear on the outcome of this game.
CSKA: current position.
CSKA after the winter break put 18 points out of 24 in its piggy bank, and, unlike its sworn friend, the club has not yet lost in 2017: 5 wins and 3 draws. There is a fairly clear dependence on the strength of the opponent. In the first spring round, CSKA scored zeros with Zenit, and then, in mid-April, there were two peaceful outcomes with Krasnodar and Rostov. If in the confrontation between Moscow and Petersburg everything worked out in good faith and in fairness, then in the games with the southerners, the “red-blues” had the right to count on more. Especially in Krasnodar. In the match with Rostovites, the advantage was not so pronounced, but CSKA could also take three points. And what is the conclusion: problems with implementation appeared, which were not in matches with less classy opponents - it was there that Viktor Goncharenko's team just scored everything that flew into the goal.
It's a little surprising that Lokomotiv dropped out of the total. In theory, reigning champions the countries should have experienced the same problems in the match with him as with Krasnodar and Rostov. But the defense of the “railroad” failed so epic that the “army team” came out to such positions from which it was difficult to send the ball somewhere other than the goal. Result - CSKA created 5 dangerous chances and scored 4 goals. Here the conclusion immediately suggests itself that Carrera must do everything to knock down the "red-blue" sight, then the likelihood that the projectile will fly into Rebrov's goal will decrease with each new blow. Jokes as a joke, but Spartak most likely will not have such a walk-through yard as Lokomotiv has. However, the played out Ionov and Vitinho, with the support of Golovin, will be able to make several successful moves, one of which will turn out to be scoring. If you don't skip it, then you don't need it anymore, right?
Spartak: current position.
"Spartak" this spring scored 17 points out of 24 possible. Taking into account that 60-63 points are usually enough to win the championship, the “red-whites” during the second part of the championship lost as much as “needed” - about 1/3. Moreover, all the fiasco occurred where they should have been expected - in the matches with Krasnodar, Lokomotiv and Rostov. On the one hand, this should upset Spartak fans on the eve of the Derby of All Russia. Indeed, in fact, the "red-white" did not cope with the strongest competitors. However, the leaders of the championship defeated Zenit, beating it completely in the first half and playing confidently in defense in the second. And in the last match before the derby, Ural was beaten - a team that nowadays looks more solid than the aforementioned trio, with which Spartak stumbled.
Therefore, there is no clear correlation between the strength of the opponent and the results of Massimo Carrera's squad. Tactical features are more important. The magician Kurban Berdyev, together with Dmitry Kirichenko and Ivan Danilyants, built the game in such a way that it was not necessary to force Spartak to go large forces forward. It's just that Promes and Popov, and later Melgarejo were turned off from the game and for three inflicted one or two harmless blows towards Medvedev's goal. A week later, Spartak itself was able to “strangle” the bloodless “Ural”, which plays nicely in attack this season, but something didn’t work out at Otkritie Arena. Has Carrera decided to "peep" the tactics of "Rostov" in order to use it against CSKA? This is nothing new for Spartak's coaches, but, most importantly, it works. If the Rostovites were already able to restrain one of the best players championship of Quincy Promes, why can't the “red-whites” be able to hold back the attack of the “red-blues”, where there are no such bright personalities?
Personnel losses before the CSKA - Spartak match
CSKA has questioned the participation of Alan Dzagoev, who was injured in the match with Lokomotiv, but, according to rumors, is preparing for the Derby of All Russia. Evgeny Makeev and Luiz Adriano will definitely not play for Spartak - both are healing their injuries. But he is preparing (for the second or third round in a row) to enter the field of Ze Luis, who is lacking by the “red-white” as a tip that completes the attack.
Tentative line-ups for the CSKA - Spartak match
CSKA: Akinfeev, V. Berezutsky, Vasin, Ignashevich, Shchennikov, Fernandez, Vernbloom, Natkho, Golovin, Ionov, Vitinho.
"Spartacus": Rebrov, Eshchenko, Jikia, Taski, Kombarov, Glushakov, Fernando, Zobnin, Samedov, Promes, Ze Luis.
Personal meetings CSKA - Spartak
If we take into account both the Soviet and Russian period of relations between CSKA and Spartak, then this derby will be 160th: 100 was played in the USSR championship, 59 - already in the championship of Russia. In the Soviet part of the history of the confrontation, "Spartak" had an advantage in victories: 46 against 35. Nowadays, the superiority is on the side of CSKA: 26 against 18. Total: 64-61 in favor of the "red-whites". In the first round of the current season, the “people's team” managed to interrupt an unsuccessful streak of three defeats in a row in the derby with a 3: 1 victory, which strengthened Spartak in the first position. And the last guest Victoria was won by the nine-time champions of Russia in August 2014.
An interesting fact: the last time Spartak won two derbies during the season was in 1999, when he was still the hegemon in the country. Will it succeed this time, or will CSKA again interfere with its neighbors? We will find out very soon.
Forecast for the match CSKA - Spartak from the site.
CSKA looks a little more confident at this stage, but against strong opponents it has serious problems in attack. If Viktor Goncharenko's charges were in Spartak's place, and they would be conventionally satisfied with a goalless draw, maybe nothing terrible would have happened. But so ... Spartak's defensive redoubts frankly failed only on two trips - to Samara and to Rostov-on-Don. And then, the "red-white" there were forced to attack a lot. The same can force CSKA to do the same, for which such tactics were commonplace under Leonid Slutsky. But, as the fight with Zenit showed, Carrera's team also knows how to develop fast and effective attacks. How would we, in this case, not run into a dull Derby of All Russia, in which the teams will be afraid to make a mistake ...
But even if something like that happens, the first to emerge from the cocoon are "army men" - and not only because they need more. This conclusion can be made by observations of past years. There is a feeling that it is CSKA that will try to impose its game and close Spartak in its half of the field, and the guests will seek their fortune on counter-attacks. And, it is quite possible that they will find it faster than the owners. And the duel, most likely, will end in a combat draw - given the existing hands, it is very difficult to give someone an advantage without correcting that the game may end in a peaceful outcome.
