Yevgeny Bushmanov has urged Spartak Moscow to play defensive football in the upcoming Russian Premier League tie against Anzhi Makhachkala on Saturday
Evgeny Bushmanov has backed the Russian Football Union to hand a seven-match ban to Rubin Kazan defender, Jesus Navas, after the Spanish stopper hit Amkar Perm striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martin-Jakubko-c24382, in the face.
The brutal and unjustifiable activity caused major facial injuries to the Slovakian footballer, who spent two-nights in a nearby hospital after operating his broken jaw along with minor scratches.
The match officials left Jakubko red-faced after deciding not to book Navas after the incident. He then filed a case against Navas, urging the disciplinary committees to review the replays of the event again.
“I think that Navas injured Jakubko intentionally. He deserved the punishment. I do not understand why the FTC meeting extended the case for another week. I think Navas rightly earned disqualification.” The CIS Cup winner was quoted
as saying.
The former Spartak Moscow defender went on to express his views on how Unai Emery could win the upcoming Russian Premier League match against Anzhi Makhachkala at Dynamo Stadium (Makhachkala) on Saturday.
Bushmanov tipped Emery to play defensive football against the Dagestani club, insisting that the Spanish tactician needs to focus on the defensive side of his team that have conceded five goals in the last two meetings.
There is little arguing to the statement that the Spartachi are struggling defensively as they have conceded plenty of goals in the Russian Championship and on European front since the start of the season.
The Myaso have particularly been criticized for their poor defensive display in the UEFA Champions League’s group stage matches against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 and Celtic respectively. Spartak conceded six goals in their first two European
matches home and away.
“I am expecting a lot of goals in the match. I think both the sides will score goals. Anzhi are favourites to win the match but if Emery can help the team in displaying some good defence, they have a chance.” He concluded.
Anzhi might lose their place at the top-spot on the league table if they lose against Spartak and CSKA Moscow wins against Rubin Kazan on Sunday.
