Spartak veteran Anzor Kavazashvili said that he considers Croatian national team goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic the main contender for the title of the best goalkeeper of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Earlier, the Croatians reached the semi-finals of the tournament, beating the team of Brazil in the penalty shootout.

– Livakovic is the main contender for the title of the best goalkeeper of the World Cup. He not only showed his highest goalkeeping skills yesterday in the penalty shoot-out, but also in the match against Japan. At the same time, Livakovic played just wonderfully in the group stage, so he will be the first goalkeeper of the tournament.

I want to note that he doesn’t play much on exits, and that’s what I like about him the most. In general, it is not the responsibility of the goalkeeper to often go out of the gate. Defenders should play in such episodes, and goalkeepers should not be involved in questionable moments in the game. Both defenders and goalkeepers make mistakes very often when they start to play a pass between themselves. This cannot be done, this is a bad manner of European and world football, – Metaratings.ru quotes Kavazashvili.

All players of the Ukrainian national team. Szabo chose Ukraine’s best football players

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.

“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.

I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.

The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.

Dzyuba appreciated coach Slutsky’s work at Shanghai Shenhua in 2025

Leonid Slutsky last year he performed well as coach of the Shanghai Shenhua football team. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.

Last season, Slutsky took second place in the Chinese league with Shanghai Shenhua and led the club to the Asian Champions League playoffs for the first time. The team also won the Chinese Super Cup.

“He’s doing well in China, the only thing he was missing was a championship, everything was leading to that,” Dziuba said. “But it’s tough for a team that’s been in fifth place all their life, they don’t have that winning mentality.”

Slutsky is 54 years old and has been at the helm of the Chinese club since December 2023. In his career he has coached Rubin Kazan, Uralan Elista, Mosca, Krylya Sovetov Samara, CSKAEnglish “Hull” and Dutch “Vitesse”. Together with CSKA the specialist became champion of Russia three times, won the Russian Cup and the Super Cup twice.
