Nikolai Pisarev, head coach of the Russian national football team, admitted that he did not understand the substitutions made by Spartak Moscow head coach Dejan Stankovic in the sixth round match of the Russian Premier League (RPL) against Zenit St. Petersburg. His words provide guidance “Match TV”.
“I don’t quite understand how Stankovic wanted to put pressure on Zenit, who are playing in a minority, with such substitutions. There weren’t enough defenders like Sobolev. Ugalde is a different type of forward. ‘Spartak’ performed well psychologically, as they were not happy with the draw in St. Petersburg for the first time in a long time,” Pisarev said.
The match between Zenit and Spartak in St. Petersburg ended with a score of 0:0.
Zenit were left in the minority in the 62nd minute when Strahinja Erakovic received a second yellow card. The player had already been shown a second yellow card in less than ten minutes, in the 56th and 62nd minutes. Following this removal, Stankovic brought on Nikita Chernov, Danila Prutsev and Marquinhos.
Zenit, who received 14 points after six rounds, lost their leadership to Lokomotiv Moscow (15) and dropped to second place. Spartak is in fifth place with 11 points.
