"They will not sit out in defense": Kolyvanov on Dynamo's derby tactics, Shunin's return, Makarov and Zakharyan's injuries

- “Spartak” and “Dynamo” this season look most effective when they act as number two, using the

- Dynamo plays more attacking football. Yes, and "Spartak" previously tried to act from a position of strength, but the start of the season was not very successful. Blue and white do not betray themselves with the arrival of Sandro Schwartz. The German trusted the young, and they are not afraid to play, even if somewhere they lack experience and not everything comes out of the plan. In any case, I think we will have a beautiful confrontation. This is largely due to the fact that there are many high-class players in the rivals who are strong in creation. And both coaches, in my opinion, strive to instill modern attacking football in their wards. They simply will not give the installation to sit out in defense. Last season, under Domenico Tedesco, Spartak relied on pressure and a quick exit from the defense. The red and white then were more focused on the result.

- Then why is it easier for Dynamo to play with the giants than with the middle peasants and outsiders, who are closed by the whole team in their half of the field?

- It's hard for everyone to break through the rich defense of the opponent when he thinks only about how not to miss.

But the blue and white, both in the attack line and in the midfield, have great performers who are able to beat anyone in the RPL one-on-one and think outside the box.

In principle, the same applies to Spartak.

It is no coincidence that today many teams are betting on a formation with five defenders.

To hack your opponent's defenses, you need to act a little faster and provide quality passes from the flanks.

And when one of the teams misses, it rebuilds and goes forward.

Therefore, the faster an account is opened in the derby, the more interesting the meeting will be.

- In the last three RPL matches, Igor Leshchuk took the place at the last line of Dynamo.

First, due to the injury of Anton Shunin, then - by the decision of the coach.

Has he earned a place in the start and in the derby, or should a much more experienced Shunin be released for such an important game?

- It's a difficult question, because Leshchuk quite confidently held those few meetings in which he appeared on the field.

However, the first number of the team remains Shunin, therefore, in my opinion, he should be in the starting lineup for the derby, if he fully recovered.

- Arsen Zakharyan came to the Russian national team with an injury, and Denis Makarov completely left the location of the national team due to injury.

It is clear that both could have time to recover and heal sores, but is it worth the

- Of course, it's sad that both have health problems.

On the other hand, if Zakharyan got a simple bruise, it’s not scary at all, everything will go away in a few days.

Arsen should calmly recover for the derby.

The same goes for Makarov.

If I am not mistaken, he left the location of the national team simply because he could not take part for medical reasons in a particular match.

Now he had time to recover.

I repeat, the guys are young, and they can not notice such small sores.

- Can the outcome of the confrontation be decided on the flanks?

After all, Jordan Larsson and Zelimkhan Bakaev can play against Spartak, even taking into account the injury of Quincy Promes.

Plus Ayrton and Victor Moses will regularly connect ahead.

Whereas Makarov and Zakharyan do not always have time to go back.

- There are very high-quality footballers in the opponents' camp. Another thing is that the start of the season showed that the team is in a frankly disassembled state. But in the last matches it was clear that Spartak began to gain shape. Two and a half months have passed since the start of the championship and it is time to demonstrate the game that Vitoria's wards are capable of and that the fans expect from them. Therefore, I will not be surprised at all if the hosts really begin to load the flanks at some point.

As for Zakharyan and Makarov, you are right - they are players more focused on creation and do not always participate in destruction.

But there are other people for that.

First of all, I'm talking about the defenders, who are obliged to insure the full-backs.

In my opinion, Dynamo succeeds in this.

Blue and white, in principle, try to act high.

They wait for the first 10-15 minutes, and then put pressure on someone else's half.

Therefore, much will depend on their physical condition.

- Scheme with one striker.

Will this be enough, taking into account the formation of "Spartak" in the last matches with five defenders?

- It's not entirely correct to talk about one attacker when there are Zakharyan and Makarov on the flanks.

I do not think that Schwartz will dare to change the scheme before the derby to surprise the opponent.

Still, his charges are accustomed to the previous arrangement, everyone knows their maneuver within its framework.

Dynamo perfectly understand what they want.

They try to play high and play attacking football.

- Will the double of Konstantin Tyukavin for the youth team become an additional factor for the coach when choosing the squad?

- It's great that he finally managed to score at least for the national team.

After all, the "dry" streak of the forward in the RPL has already five meetings.

Tyukavin lacks stability.

Unfortunately, this is typical of young people: they play well one match, and the next they get lost.

But playing in the youth team and Dynamo are two different things.

There are also some youth football.

Let's see if Schwartz will give Konstantin a chance or continue to trust Vyacheslav Grulev.

- The fact that Daniil Fomin had an excellent match with Slovenia as part of the Russian national team can additionally motivate him to the derby?

- Definitely, because he returned from the location of the national team in a great mood.

Moreover, the man managed to break into the main team.

On positive emotions, he is able to perfectly play a derby with Spartak.

I think Fomin is currently one of the best RPL players in his position.

Daniil plays a big role in Dynamo, especially in the central zone.

- In recent meetings, Sergei Parshivlyuk does not get a place in the base.

Does it make sense for the coach to give him a chance in the derby with Spartak, given the red and white past?

- For every person, the match with the former team is special.

Sergei is an experienced and intelligent footballer who is able to close the right flank of the defense.

I am more than sure that if Parshivlyuk takes to the pitch, it will be a huge help for him.

Believe me, he will try to remind Spartak of his best qualities.
