see you right back here tomorrow for the next round
i decided to finally post about the Saturday Russia-Slovenia game.
i guess i just needed the time to make the things clear in my mind and not burden off everything that was on my mind that evening
because the very last minutes of the game and the damned goal conceded made me feel so terribly disappointed that i had forgotten all my great emotions from the game itself
i believe that except for the last 10minutes or something, the Russians were brilliant and showed an almost perfect game against a team like Slovenia.
the biggest pleasant surprise came from Bilyaletdinov, of course, for i wanted Shava to score the whole game as usual, and it was very unusual that both goals should be scored by a midfielder, and that the assists were made by both forwards))))
i am truly happy for the guy, and i remembered an interview with Diniyar i had read a couple of days before the game
he said that he wouldn't like to play as a defender (which is understandable, because he's a midfielder) and he said that although it is for Hiddink and not for him to decide, he'd prefer to play in the midfield as he is always more prone to attack than defend.
almost like a prediction :)
the thing that made me unhappy was Arshavin's yellow card, it was very silly. i hate the people who provoke him like that, because he can lose his temper, and i hope he won't in the future. but that moment darkened my happiness from the goal scored just minutes before.
the thing that made me very happy was the attack undertaken by Zhirkov at the very beginning of the game, when he got the ball in the middle of the field and manged to go past all the Slovenian defence and striked but the keeper saved, but if he hadn't, that would have been the most beautiful goal, and most beautiful attack i have seen recently. it was wow-like. and that was the moment when i remembered how great the Russians are really :)
i don't want to think about the bad things - i had had a premonition before the game again, butnow i only want to remember positive episodes.
keep your fingers crossed for Russia tomorrow like i will!!!!!!
