“Pinyaev deservedly became the owner of the “First Five” award” – Karyaka

Former Krylia Sovetov football player Andrey Karyaka believes that the forward of the Samara team Sergey Pinyaev deservedly and fairly became the owner of the First Five award.

The Top Five award is presented annually to the best young player in the Russian Premier League MIR. Pinyaev scored 317 points.

The second place according to the voting results was taken by Dynamo forward Konstantin Tyukavin (258 points). The third is Spartak midfielder Ruslan Litvinov (172 points). On the fourth line is the midfielder of “Wings of the Soviets” Alexander Kovalenko (129 points). Closed the top five defender of “Rostov” Alexander Silyanov (124 points).

– Pinyaev deservedly became the best young player in the RPL in 2022. People voted for him, and it was done by specialists – those who understand football. He showed himself well in the first part of the championship, so everything is deserved. And in general, this year was not bad for Sergey, except for the period when he was injured. But he did well, that he recovered and continues to spend a bright season.

Who would I vote for? For Pinyaev, I would add Zakharyan, I don’t remember good players right away. As long as Sergei is trusted and given playing practice, he does not need to leave Wings of the Soviets. Yes, a large group of players left Samarans, but a good team remains. Pinyaev began to go out more often in the first team, so it makes no sense for him to leave Samara. You need to play further, feel the increase in confidence from match to match, and he will add more. And then it will be clear where to go. Pinyaev has game practice, and he needs to be grateful to the coach and the team for this, – Karyaka told Metaratings.ru.

Pinyaev, 18, has scored four goals and provided four assists in 15 games for Krylya Sovetov this season.
