It is strange to give time to foreigners who often make mistakes.
Behind only ten rounds RPL, that is, even Khimki’s Belarusian Zakhar Volkov will not receive a “wolf ticket”, although his team has only won twice and made many mistakes in defense. Everyone on the list below will have the chance to rehabilitate in the field. But for now, for each one, we ask ourselves what they can give RPL something a local player can’t handle?
Furthermore, the anti-rating can be expanded if Idovu from St. Petersburg with a Nigerian passport does not come to his senses, Norman will continue at Dynamo as he started and Nicholson will be the fifth wheel in Abaskal’s four forwards. Or serious players, like Kirk, will be included in the game twice in three months. However, there are worse examples than Dutch.
Nuraly Alip (Zenit)
In St. Petersburg they directly say that this is not a player of the level of Zenit. It doesn’t mean that Alip won’t play for a more modest club RPL, but Semak did the right thing by removing Rodrigao in Sochi. Stronger the Brazilian and Lovren, also Chistyakov and Adamov. They play in two central, instead of Alip for forty minutes in two games, a young Russian footballer could have played. Natural with good data, but unstable. The Kazakhstan national team also failed yesterday, even if the result of that match did not count, the Kazakhs left the League of Nations group earlier than expected.
Bruno Fuchs (CSKA)
Waiting for it, waiting for it. So Diveev got injured and Fuchs won’t necessarily get out. Fedotov first played midfielder Zainutdinov in defense, used veteran Nababkin, asked Brazilian Willian to sign and did not put Bruno in the base. See, there are good reasons for this. But we know the subject in which Bruno remains RPL. After the injuries, the prices of his shares on the market plummeted and the salary is repeated CSKA no one in Brazil wanted. What if the defender comes in handy for the “army squad” in the near future? Let’s see, because I’ve only played 11 minutes so far RPL. Bad for a beginner for 8 million euros.
Maciej Rybus (Spartak)
The bet on a free agent was logical, Rybus plays better than the Lokomotiv defenders. It turns out that Spartak’s neighbor has lost a footballer for free, which he agrees to stay in Moscow and receive less than in Lokomotiv. But the logic of betting on Rybus will not erase the real mistakes of an experienced Pole. It’s like he has a dual gaming personality. He can create chances in the same game, where he will “bring” his goal to him. The Pole is in a strange state. If Spartak had a sporting director in the summer, they could sign a young winger, because Khlusevich cannot play on both flanks at the same time.
Victor Mendes (CSKA)
Perhaps the most mysterious newcomer of the summer in RPL. What exactly is Mendes stronger than Kuchaev, Oblyakov and Mukhin in the midfield positions? The young Chilean did not present himself as a pure opornik, that is, he was not destined to become the new Wernbloom. Mendez in the debut game was generally released in the offensive line. Subsequently they deepened, but the result is always the same: the midfielder seems to be on the pitch, but it is difficult to notice. Mendez became part of Torpedo’s defeat and didn’t help win before. Perhaps he has not adapted, but there are doubts that Victor Mendez can make a difference and stand out with class and not diligence.
Francois Camano (Locomotive)
Mamassi has a Russian passport, no longer a legionnaire, the unfortunate young defender is not here. Camano also has several documents. His Guinean soul begged to return to his native France. The extreme striker has scored one goal in ten games for Lokomotiv RPL, and last winter, only a failed medical examination left Francois in the composition, as Zorn spoke. In Moscow they pay well, so the outside remains. But if you look at the returns and benefits, it would be better to find another legionnaire in the base. The German coaches did not wait for Kamano to help RPLLokomotiv disappointed the fans.
Adolfo Gaich (CSKA)
Too many “army” players here. But Fuchs, Mendez and Gaich certainly don’t play like Zainutdinov, Medina and Carrascal. A legionnaire does not guarantee success, and if we talk about Adolfo, then the problem with him is not only in the name, as a bloodthirsty dictator. Gaich had a chance several times but got a donut hole. The tall Argentinian scored against Krasnodar and a week later was afraid of Torpedo. Fedotov is trying to disperse Gaich, but an 8.5 million euro newcomer with a large salary goes out for 15-20 minutes and looks heavy. Zabolotny in Sochi played better than Adolfo in the squad CSKA.
Emmerson Illoy-Ayet (Urals)
The son of the Congolese Michel was born in Odessa. A tall and powerful guy. Is this where the advantages of the Ural defender end? Perhaps Gancharenko will prepare the giant for good football in the second third of the league. But for now, Emmerson Mishelevich is more associated with frequent Ural defeats. It cannot be said that the defense is always terrible, but after Adamov and Kuzmichev new leaders are needed. Emmerson and Gerasimov are not protecting Pomazun as they should.
Tin Edvai (Locomotive)
Nominally the strongest player on this list. Tin didn’t play for Roma, but he played well for Bayer at first. Then he slowed down, last year he agreed to fly to Moscow. But this is definitely not a new Chorluka for Lokomotiv. We understand Dalic, the coach no longer calls Tin in the Croatian national team, he is not part of that team. I just made no mistakes RPL, although in terms of class he can generally be the strongest of his team. But school and skill are not enough if the shape is so indistinct. The Croatian is 26 years old but does not play in a mature way. One of the biggest disappointments of the beginning of the season.
The strategy for buying foreign players, given that the rules allow it, is the right way for the leading clubs, there is simply no other way. But that Lokomotiv, who has spent a lot on newcomers, is now not a competitor of Zenit, who CSKA, performing more successfully until he reached Semak, Fedotov was six points behind after a third of the way. TO RPL there are apparently decent legionaries, without whom the division will surely survive.
Another thing is that almost everyone here can play a lot better. We are talking about an unrealized potential and not its complete absence. But the usual market crash makes it difficult to get up and running, separate and get to know newcomers smoothly. Therefore, even when a legionnaire does not show class, he is given both a second and a third chance. Something reminiscent of a long-term approach to borderline children.
RPL rewarded with a double cap, now they will not only look local in the mouth? For example, Urunov did not play at Spartak, did not play at Ufa after his return and now moved to Ural, Gancharenko was tasked with reviving the career of a young Uzbek. Important moment in history RPL. Now much weaker legionaries will try to get a big contract, the shortage in the market does not lead to an improvement in quality. An opportunity for young Russians, but among them there are guys who are thinking of leaving.
