Representatives of Khimki and Lokomotiv in the center of the composition.
Doorman
Ilya Lantatov (Khimki)
We identify the person considered by Zenit. Lantatov did not join the St. Petersburg club after the incident with the boy who served the balls. Semak’s scouts and analysts may also notice how Ilya plays with his feet and controls the defense. In terms of the quality of the defensive actions, Khimki is the worst RPL. And although the goalkeeper is not the weakest in terms of save percentage, he will sometimes even reflect a penalty, Ilya slowed down. Probably, it was worth changing the club in the summer, and Khimki is sinking and Lantatov has not caught the wave.
Defenders
Igor Smolnikov (Torpedo)
We know that the veteran has played well in two games, but we evaluate his performance in 14 rounds. In terms of the quality of the chances granted, excluding penalties, Torpedo is the worst team RPL. In interceptions, Smolnikov is on par with 39-year-old striker Lebedenko. Separate decisions are issued sideways by a footballer with international experience, but at the age of 34 the veteran survived a difficult midseason. Torpedo is a hopeless outsider and Smolnikov has made many mistakes.
Tin Edvai (Locomotive)
Great football was not expected from Mamassi at age 19, but Jedvay positions himself as the key central defender of Lokomotiv, the defense leader. And disappointed. Barinov is not always in the center of the defense, Magkeev and Kuzmich are younger, Fasson is injured. As soon as he faced the pressure, Lokomotiv conceded 30 goals. So weak in defense RPL the Moscow club has never played in history.
Alexey Nikitin (Khimki)
Kutepov, Terekhov, Semyonov and Sorokin, for various reasons, will not be credited in the first round. Injuries, change of position and Semenov quarreled with Talalaev. But if you are looking for a real mess in defense then let’s go to Khimki and Nikitin. The thirty-year-old defender moved heavily, he made many trivial mistakes. With him there have been 11 goals conceded on the pitch only in the last two games.
Brian Idovu (Khimki)
In the skirmish between the center-south and the center-north, Idovu flew into the reserve. Prior to this, a Nigerian expert from St. Petersburg made mistakes in matches by conceding not 5-6 goals, but 3-4. It is strange that Khimki fell apart so easily without Juran, but each of the famous players on the team deserved all the bad ratings. This kind of football RPL no need, it’s time to be together. Rybus in Spartak on the left was also weird, but not that bright.
Midfielders
Zelimkhan Bakaev (Zenit)
Ibrahimovic advised Mbappe’s parents not to turn to the player with advice. The same thought should have been addressed to Bakaev’s agent, who talked about Europe, and then sent the attacking midfielder behind Malcolm. What did they expect? Semak does not have a “tens” position in the scheme. Bakaev won’t have enough breath to play in Wendel’s place. It would be better if Zenit played the pupil and did not pay millions of rubles to the Bakaev reserve.
Denis Glushakov (Khimki)
You can kick Maradishvili’s game. At the heart of Lokomotiv is Karpukas, for which 7 million euros were not given. Umyarov deserved not only praise, Nail had strange encounters with passes on the other side of the field and at the feet of opponents. But if we compare the performance of the young and experienced Glushakov, Denis performed much worse. Strange things are happening in Khimki and the captain is silent, even though it was worth defending Yuran with all his strength.
Michail Ignatov (Spartak)
Abaskal lost his “ten” – Mozes and Bakaev you know where. Zinkovsky did not catch on in the iron base in the “4-3-3” scheme. Balda did not help, a disqualification came from Italy. Ignatov spent on the pitch RPL 557 minutes – more than Zinkovsky, but he is not bothered by two goals and an assist. Eight times Mikhail has been at the base, but this is a very raw player, often Spartak seemed to play with him in the minority.
Wilson Isidor (Lokomotiv)
Is it possible to expect a lot from Kirk and Kamano? There is not even a request from Ignatiev, not if he deserved it. But Isidor, after 7 goals in 11 rounds last season, identified himself as one of the hopes not only of Lokomotiv, but also of RPL. And then in the summer she blurted out that she was going to leave and stopped playing football. Isidor knows a lot, he can play as a left attacking midfielder and as a clean striker, but in 12 rounds of the new championship he only played decently in the first leg. Further, or nothing, or terrible.
come on
Mateo Cassierra (Zenit)
What could be easier than scoring many goals in the current “Zenith”? Not only will Dzyuba make it, but Alexander Kerzhakov could also resume his career and easily collect five goals per circle. Cassierra loses the competition against Sergeyev, but even when Semak trusted the Colombian, he did not see the correct openings, the competent distraction of the defenders’ attention and the precision, which Mateo indulged in Sochi. There was a football player and he disappeared. Zenit is looking for a striker.
Hamid Agalarov (Akhmat)
The same wording – was and disappeared. Only in this case we are not talking about Zabolotny, who moved into a deep reserve CSKA, who already has a reputation for being a guy who doesn’t behave in a way that big clubs benefit from. Agalarov is much younger, he moved from Ufa to Akhmat, and did not risk immediately sinking into a squad with great ambitions. But even he in Grozny he could not cope with the competition, he has always been on the bench. The footballer’s father blamed Talalaev, but mentors don’t keep the best players on the bench. Hamid slowed down, which shocked him.
coaches
Josef Zinnbauer and Marvin Compper (Lokomotiv)
Many mentors have been sacked mid-season, but you won’t find any worse than Lokomotiv’s German duet for this team. You can go fishing instead of training, but go with Lokomotiv to the center of the table RPL. Compper and Zinnbauer defeated the team that Gisdol had dropped before them. Nikolic, if he had been treated better in the club with Zorn, could now enter the group of leaders. And so Galaktionov will be invited with no guarantees of success. Although in this sad case there is only one conclusion: it will not be worse, because what Compper and Zinnbauer did in the matches is difficult to repeat with one of the richest teams. RPL. Good luck at Lokomotiv, but their representatives in this formation of delusions are completely spot on.
