Team status
Blue and whites on Saturday in the oldest derby drew with Spartak (2:2). Bitello made a brace, scoring first from a free kick, and then from the assist of Anton Miranchuk, for whom this action was the first productive after returning to Russia.
One of the main events of the match was the return to the field of Konstantin Tyukavin, who missed six months due to rupture of the cruciate ligament of the knee. The forward played 16 minutes at the end of the second half and had one scoring chance.
— He lacks game tone. You can train as much as you want, but you need official games. For the first 15 minutes he played normally, he felt like a football player, he could also score," Valery Karpin said at a press conference.
About the opponent
The Sochi team is still the main outsider of the Russian championship - the point scored in the home match with Dynamo in August remains the only one for them. Against this background, the parting with Robert Moreno was expected, and in early September Igor Osinkin took over the team.
After his arrival, the team was replenished with former Lokomotiv midfielder Francois Kamano, as well as Ivan Lomaev and Aleksandr Soldatenkov, who were very familiar to him, joining the impressive "colony" of former Krylia players in the person of Aleksandr Kovalenko, Anton Zinkovsky and Roman Yezhov.
It is symbolic that Osinkin's debut as the head coach of the southerners coincided with a trip to Samara, where he spent five years. The fans greeted him very warmly, but his former team disappointed him by scoring two unanswered goals in the second half against Yuri Dyupin.
— We will work, there are still 22 rounds ahead. If we take this match, for about 60 minutes we were definitely not weaker, but in some places we sagged physically, in some places there was no proper mutual understanding, — Osinkin said after the match. — At some point we started to influence with substitutions, but we easily conceded. I would like my team to play differently.
In the Russian Cup, nothing is lost for Sochi either — they lost to the white-blues and Krasnodar, but beat the leaders in our group, Krylia, on penalties and are 4 points behind them.
