Former head coach of the Russian national team, Boris Ignatiev, called the main reason why Dynamo lost to Spartak in the group stage match of the Russian Cup RPL Road. The expert told socialbites.ca that the main problem of blue and white is in psychology.
“I think the real problem is attitude and psychology. After all, Dinamo played with CSKA before that and although they lost in the first half, they won in the end. Here was a similar picture. Dynamo has more opportunities than it offers. Defense is not the cement on which the building is built. Problems need to be solved in order for the building called “Dynamo” not to falter and to stand firm for a long time. Again, mistakes made on defense are considered a bad sign, even in infrastructure, in my opinion. But in general the game was very interesting, eventful, there were a lot of chances, in the second half Dynamo noticeably improved. Such games adorn our football,” Ignatiev summarized.
Spartak defeated Dynamo 4-1, while the red-whites scored four goals in the 25th minute. Oleksandr Sobolev scored one each, Anton Zinkovsky and debutant Srjan Babic scored one each. Dinamo responded with a goal from Mumi Ngamalyo in the second half.
Former striker of “Dynamo” Bulykin named The match with the “Spartak” indicator for the coaching staff of both teams.
