Андрей Аршавин: «Разве Семак проигрывал когда-то «Спартаку»? Ожидаю, что и сейчас «Зенит» выиграет»

Зенит — Спартак. 1:0. Сердар Азмун

Бывший игрок лондонского «Арсенала», эксперт «Матч ТВ» Андрей Аршавин поделился ожиданиями от матча между «Зенитом» и «Спартаком» в матче 12-го тура Тинькофф РПЛ.

— В воскресенье «Зенит» принимает «Спартак». Это будет, в том числе борьба психологий — кто быстрее отошел после поражения в еврокубках?

— Мне кажется, «Спартак» меньше расстроен после 3:4 с «Лестером». Они в такой веселой игре все же поучаствовали. «Зенит» проиграл с меньшими шансами, на мой взгляд. Но и соперник помощнее был, несмотря на то, что «Лестер» хорошо сейчас выступает. Но вообще — трудно предсказать результат, хотя считаю, «Зенит» в любом составе, при любых раскладах на данный момент времени должен оставаться фаворитом этой игры. Тем более, он играет дома. И вообще — Сергей Богданович, разве проигрывал когда-то «Спартаку»? А если и да, то не в официальных матчах. Ожидаю, что и в этот уик-энд «Зенит» выиграет.

— Участие Малкома и Клаудиньо в игре со «Спартаком» под вопросом. Ощутимая потеря при нынешних предыгровых раскладах?

— Конечно. Этих игроков ждешь в важных матчах. С другой стороны, это всегда шанс для других ребят. Для того же Мостового, например. С этой точки зрения, мы можем понять, что у нас есть другие игроки, на которых можно наедятся в больших матчах. Отрезок сейчас у «Зенита» тяжелый. И каждая игра крайне важная — концовку осенней части сезона хочется закончить на мажорной ноте. Плюс в ЛЧ желательно переломить тенденцию поражений именно с серьезными командами. От «Мальме» все же немного абстрагируюсь в этом смычке — это не гранд. Очень хочется увидеть победу «Зенита» над большим клубом.

FAPL.ru — Английская Премьер-Лига

Мерсон: «Дайте Лэмпарду время — «Челси» еще может выиграть Премьер-Лигу»

Эксперт Sky Sports Пол Мерсон считает, что «Челси» нужно проявить терпение к своему главному тренеру Фрэнку Лэмпарду.

Согласно слухам, субботнее дерби против «Фулхэма» может стать едва ли не определяющим для судьбы Лэмпарда, который выиграл лишь один из шести последних матчей в Премьер-Лиге.

Однако Мерсон выступает против увольнения Лэмпарда и верит, что «синих» рано вычеркивать из числа претендентов на титул.

«Если «Челси» не обыграет «Фулхэм», следует ли им уволить Фрэнка Лэмпарда? Это зависит от того, чего «Челси» хочет в этом году. Вы говорите: «Давайте избавимся от Фрэнка». Хорошо, но кто придет на его место? Они вернут Рафу Бенитеса? А если вы пригласите Андрея Шевченко, то в чем разница? Как и Лэмпард, он не тренировал игроков мирового уровня, и ему потребуется время».

«Это не так, что ты можешь позвать Карло Анчелотти в качестве временного решения. Рано или поздно «Челси» должен выработать план. Нельзя потратить 200 миллионов фунтов и думать, что ты выиграешь лигу. Это так не работает».

«Лэмпард отлично потрудился в прошлом году, и это первый раз, когда он работает с игроками мирового уровня. Дайте ему шанс».

«Им нужно быть реалистами в отношении своих ожиданий от этого сезона. Я бы сказал, что их планом должно быть сохранение места в топ-4 — они попали туда в прошлом сезоне, не тратя 200 миллионов фунтов — и, возможно, участие в чемпионской гонке».

«Сезон складывается таким образом, что ты можешь выиграть три матча подряд, и ты снова в гонке. Команды проигрывают матчи и теряют очки налево, направо и по центру. Если ты одержишь пять побед подряд, ты, наверное, будешь во главе лиги. В прошлом году такого не было».

Это будет матч огромной важности, большое дерби. Но от «Челси» ожидают победы над «Фулхэмом», потому что у них лучше игроки. Я ожидаю, что они выиграют этот матч».

«Если бы столько очков было у «Челси» в прошлом сезоне или сезоне перед этим, я бы сказал, что «Челси» в беде. Но не в этом сезоне. Они еще имеют шансы на титул, и это важно».

«Манчестер Юнайтед» взялся из ниоткуда, просочился наверх, и теперь они могут уйти в отрыв, если победят «Ливерпуль». Им просто немного везет — начиная с ноября, когда «Вест Бромвич» должен был получить железобетонный пенальти».

«Поэтому я и считаю, что «Челси» еще не лишился шансов. Где бы ты ни находился, пять побед подряд, и ты снова в гонке», — сообщил Мерсон.

Complex Subject

Noun/Pronoun + Predicate + Infinitive

The combination of a noun in the common case (or a pronoun in the nominative case) and an infinitive forms a complex subject. The predicate which is usually expressed by a verb in the passive voice is placed between the noun and the infinitive.

Key examples:

• He is said to be a good teacher.

• The boy is known to have passed his exams well.

The predicate in sentences with a complex subject can be expressed by:
1. The same verbs that can be followed by a complex object (that is verbs of sense perception: to see, to hear…, verbs of mental activity: to know, to suppose…; verbs of inducement: to order, to cause, to allow…,). The verbs are used in the passive voice.
