The most unlucky RPL team cannot even score from the penalty. There is no explanation for their failures

“We are haunted by an evil rock.” The struggle for the championship is being conducted in the RPL, it is no less hot in the departure zone. At the moment, “Orenburg” (11 points) and “torch” (14 points) are sent to the FNL, in the butt matches – “Akhmat” (18 points) and “Paris NN” (19 points). Amazingly, the Chechen team could be in the TOP-8-statistics are talking about this. The XPOINTS (expected points) in the Understat system, Akhmat should go in the eighth table. Instead, in the junction zone – “Khimki” and “Orenburg”, to the departure – “Paris NN” and “torch”.RIA Novosti is a rare example in statistics: the team goes below the expected place by as much as six points (instead of 8th place-14th). Imagine that this would happen at the top of the table – for example, it turned out that CSKA, going the sixth, deserves the first line. At the same time, the rest in the table does not have great discrepancies: the basement has the same three teams as in reality (“Paris NN”, “Torusla”, “Orenburg), in the top 8 only“ Akhmat ”replaced the“ Rubin. ”Experts explain the phenomenon of“ Akhmat ”in different ways: someone with bad luck, a lack of skill. But the statistics were greatly influenced by the fact that Akhmat did not realize four out of five penalties this season. Agree, here the problem is not in skill – the Akhmat players know how to beat the penalties. To deal with the curse, Akhmat is constantly changing the beaters. But it does not help: Darko Todorovich had unsuccessful attempts (in October with Rubin, 0: 2), Lychi Sadulaev (in November with Paris NN, 0: 2), Daniil Utkin (in December with the Wings of the Soviets, 1: 2). After the break, the series continues – the defender Nader Gandry in the last round did not realize the penalty in the goal of “Himmik” (1: 1).Video“Some kind of evil rock pursues us. To be honest, you think about something from above. I don't know what's the matter. There are a lot of moments, penalty – score and bring the game to the end. One mistake in the defense under the standard is another defeat, ”complained Akhmat coach Sergei Tashuev after the defeat of Paris NN in November.VideoTashuev is right: the non -knitted penalties directly influenced the result. If in the match against Rubin, the penalty in the 98th minute did not solve anything, against the “Paris NN”, “Wings” and “Himmok” “Akhmat” did not realize the penalty in the Nyein account. At the same time, Paris NN scored in a return attack a minute after the Sadulaev’s mistake – the game rolled over 180 degrees. It also grabbed other errors: with Khimki, the Spartakovets Zorin, who was on rent, scored a goal, and four minutes later he was drawn up. And the goalkeeper Shelia was rudely mistaken in December, letting go of the corner from the goalkeeper Dynamo in December. Flying. The goal flew in the 95th minute, when Akhmat won 1: 0.VideoIf it weren’t for this mistake of Shelia, Akhmat would now share the 11th line with “Khimki”. But sometimes Akhmatu is so unlucky that it comes to the ridiculous – in the match with the same “Khimki” the ball stubbornly did not fly into the net:VideoIn addition to bad luck, in Akhmat there are enough other difficulties: Romashchenko and Adiev built a defensive game, Tashuev rebels tactics this season. For that, before he began in Saudi Arabia, the best scorer of Akhmat in the RPL Mohamed Konata left, and the Brazilian newcomer Felippe Cardos, in which his successor was seen, did not play for rent to China. But by the spring, Akhmat intensified well: George Melkadze bought George Melkadze (he had already given the barely awake. “Himik”) and the best scorer of the championship Paraguay Rodrigo Ruis Diaz. Daniil Zorin (Khimkimi scored from Spartak, leased to the central midfielder, on the left of the defense of the Krasnodar pupil Leo Goglichidze, who played in the Urals (helped Akhmat to knock out the Krasnodar from the Cup, having spent 90 minutes on the field), despite the bad luck, the “Ahmat” not He loses: two victories (over the “Rubin” and “Krasnodar), two draws with“ locomotive ”and“ chemical ”. Akhmat continued its incredible series at the training camp when he won 10 out of 11 matches, let the weak rivals and so in Akhmat have no doubt that they will remain in the RPL this season. The team knows how to conduct powerful endings and should avoid even butt matches. It is possible that in the next match Akhmat will again score points – against guests from Spartak. After victories in large matches (in the last round, Zenit was beaten by Spartak under the former coaches often lost points against outsiders. Stankovich will try to correct an unpleasant trend, but it will not be easy with Akhmat – although this season Chechens are weakly playing in their field.
