Football coach Alexander Tarkhanov shared his views on why Krasnodar could not beat Rubin Kazan in the 19th round match of the Russian Premier League (RPL). His words are quoted vprognoze.ru.
“Krasnodar’s game was affected by the absence of Cordoba’s striker. Now Zenit has a chance to catch Krasnodar. The St. Petersburg team has successful experience in the fight for the championship, and the Krasnodar team is trying to win the gold medal for the first time. There is a problem with this too. Players cannot always withstand stress psychologically. And you always feel it in the fight for the title,” said the expert.
On March 2, “Bulls” drew at home with “Rubin” (1:1). Krasnodar attack leader John Cordoba did not take part in the match. In the 16th round match of the RPL against Ural Yekaterinburg, he received a four-game disqualification for an offensive gesture towards one of the referees.
St. St. Petersburg “Zenith” drew 0:0 with Moscow “Spartak” in the match in the 19th round of the RPL.
Krasnodar ranks first in the Russian Championship rankings with 39 points. Zenit is two points behind.
Previously Spartak named Great after the draw with Zenit.
