Russia – Zambia 5: 0. Hit-trick Glushenkova and other moments of the match
In its second March friendly match, as in the first, against the Grenadians, the Russian team won a slight victory. She defeated the Zabysk team in Moscow with the same score – 5: 0 as the previous opponent, and Maxim Glushenkov wrote three of the five Russian balls.
The first Russian goal in the match at the VTB Arena stadium was fast. But, despite this, it was, one might say, carefully prepared. The Russian national team had several minutes exclusively through the left flank, through Danila of a circular one. There everything spun and spun, there was seething life. And on the flank the opposite, Ilya Wahate was bored. Well, a couple more people who had the role of observers for what was happening for some time.
And one of these attacks, untwisted from the central zone by Anton Miranchuk, taxied to a circular pass. Pass is literally from the textbook-not along the front, but a little back to where the free zone is formed due to the reflex retreat of the defenders. And Maxim Glushenkov was introduced into it. The coach of the Russian team Valery Karpin compared to the previous friendly match – to those in which she broke the Grenadians with a score of 5: 0 last Wednesday – he grinned the entire base. But it was Glushenkov, who was hotly recognized in the love of the national team, who remained in it. And scored.
Someone, of course, might have thought that it would turn out, maybe more and more pleasant than with Grenada. But the Zambia team further showed that it was not in vain that it was in the rating of the International Football Federation (FIFA) almost one hundred steps higher than the previous Russian rival. Sometimes from her game it was even something topov, what the mentor of the Zambis Abraham Grant, who had a chance to lead the Chelsea, once had a direct relationship to. The ball control was at least not bad. Another thing is that this class was cursed in the Zambians only with short segments.
Another was before the break, after the « marthes » disappeared from the Russian game. The right flank with Vakhania also played. And the main event of the segment was an attack that threatened to cut off the long “dry” series of the Russian national team: she did not let go of seven meetings in a row. And then the program of Joseph Sabobo to Kennedy Gonda was so good that no one had time to cover her. She came out, unfortunately, the Zabyans, too harsh: Grassonda did not reach the ball.
And after this attack, the Russian team scored a goal, as if emphasizing the fact that it found the perfect balance. Now Danil gave the circular on the left, not with the bottom, but on top, through the head of a slightly touched the ball the crown of the Zambian defender. And from the right edge of the field at that moment I was running into the canopy of Ilya Vahany, who drove the ball into the net. The geometry of the combination was extremely refined.
The heroes of the first half came to the forefront at the beginning of the second. The third Russian goal was born in the possessions of the wahany. He gave the ball to the right of Glushenkov, and he demonstrated dexterity in processing the ball – he took, seemingly turning away from the gate, but with one touch he secured himself the opportunity to strike. And the goalkeeper Toster Nsabata did not cover the near corner.
Maxim Glushenkov, who is not too noticeable at Zenit, was terribly hot on this day in his favorite team. So hot that the thought that Hit-trick in such a game would have suited him could not have been in his head. The hat-trick took place due to the fact that the Zambian defense showed amazing, as if she was generally forbidden to approach the rivals, supple when Andrei Mostova entered her penalty area. And Nsabata, it seems, was too believed that, finding himself in its center, the pavement would surely break – the suggestive option, you can’t think better. But the Russian striker did not beat, instead, the ball was in the direction. And before Glushenkov, it was already empty, like a pre -election promise, an angle.
The fifth Russian ball was the merit of Alexei Batrakov’s replacement. And – again, Zambian defenders, who had lost the ability to stand on their feet and fell, falling at the feet of Batrakov without a special goal, as it looked from the side. The main thing is to fall. Abraham Grant, a man with a good taste, it was likely to look at this. But at least more heads, the team that suddenly became absolutely faceless did not miss. She performed no worse than Grenada.
