Such a slow reward is unlikely to please him.

Akinfeev surpasses all in a large-scale survey

You can single out Akinfeev, but that’s like calling Pushkin the poet of 2022. Winner for lack of other options. When the votes of 16 coaches, 16 football coaches, 16 journalists of their publication and fans were collected on Sport-Express, they received 89 points for Akinfeev. Igor Vladimirovich finished only third after Malcolm and the winner of Promes in the overall standings.

The rivalry between the Dutchman and the Brazilian has been read, and if you leave only the Russian trio, then there are Akinfeev, Golovin and Sycheva. Wonderful. At the top is the goalkeeper, who has had a solid, but not impressive year – there have been technical errors, CSKA in the spring he did not finish the season in the top three, did not win the Cup of Russia. Igor Vladimirovich did not stop Zenit in the new championship.

Golovin suffered no injuries in the outgoing year as he had in the past, but he hasn’t always featured in the club’s first team. Surely not the only leader in Monaco. Although Alexander has 3 goals and 3 assists in Ligue 1, there is no reason to call him player of the year among Russians. And it is no coincidence that Sychevoi, who is now Pisarsky, was eighth in the general standings and third among the Russians.

Zakharyan, Safonov and Sobolev did little work

Arsen finished in 11th place, Matvey in 13th and Sobolev in ninth, losing to Pisarsky. But if the Spartak striker is inferior to the former Orenburg striker, who played at the amateur level, and now gave an abnormally productive start to the championship, then this is not a compliment to the red-and-white striker, even if Sobolev is not the last player in the country.

What is only worth his work away from someone else’s free kick, Alexander reveals himself as an assistant to Abaskal. But there are also many contradictory moments. You don’t need to be polite and meek to become the first – Promes is also not without sins in terms of conflicts, not only did Sobolev tarnish his reputation by participating in a mass brawl against Zenit players.

But Quincy played better. Alexander, remembered by the public for his simulations and his sharp statements, repeats the mistakes of the young Dziuba, with whom he also quarreled and put up with before. Average and stability are two different things. Probably the same goes for Zakharyan, who is the most talented of the Russians, but he soured and stalled after his failed move to Chelsea.

Arsen must monitor labor discipline. Famous Dynamo veterans ask him to go to bed early, train hard and not “catch a star”. Zakharyan started playing differently than before. Although his natural talent allows for a lot, until Jokanovic built Dinamo’s attacking machine. And Safonov, having made an incredible number of important saves, combined them with obvious mistakes.

Karpin has many middle peasants at his disposal

In which state does the national team knock on Asian doors? UP world Cup-2018, Akinfeev, Ignashevich, Fernandez, Cheryshev, Dziuba, Samedov and Zhirkov got into the top eight. All veterans no longer have a relationship with the first team. Zobnin asked him not to be called. And Kuzyaev, although he is one of Zenit’s leading Russians, is not so powerful and young that Karpin has built a new team around him.

In addition to the above points, Glebov received points in the survey – added the central midfielder of Rostov, let’s not argue, and Utkin – the same description of the path under the wing of Karpin. Komlichenko, Fomin, Smolov, Jikia, Chalov, Pinyaev, Osipenko and Gazinsky are happy with the episodes, but these are not the people for the title of “Player of 2022”. They got points because their acquaintances voted.

For example, the Orenburg president has three players of his team in the top five. The middle farmer played decently, but his heroes are no better than Promes and Malcolm, whom the coach did not include in his top five. Even Akinfeev will not say that he gave a fabulous season. Berezutsky left, Fedotov arrived, Igor Vladimirovich dreamed of fighting for first place before the match with Zenit. And now CSKA on the fifth line.

“CSKA” is behind the Semak team by as much as 13 points. It is clear that you can become the best player of the year, even playing for the middle peasants: Safonov, if he had spent the whole year in one breath, could have been higher in the standings, despite the eighth line of Krasnodar. But everyone boasted bright segments, matches, episodes, and no one interrupted the Brazilian spirit of Zenit.

Dutch class and South American perseverance have not been killed, because among the heroes of Barrios and Noboa there are not only three Brazilians from Zenit. It’s strange that Douglas Santos is only in the bottom ten, but if you look at the top five voters, the reason becomes clear: people who don’t look RPL. But even after watching most of the fights of the year, you can’t pick the best one.

It just doesn’t exist. Safonov and Zakharyan are better. Akinfeev and Sobolev were good, but Kuzyaev and Glebov were also good. Golovin’s work in France is torn, his “Monaco” is in sixth place, Alexander played closer to the break on world Cup. Such a year that none of the Russians deserved the Player of the Year award. Even if a year ago the situation wasn’t better: Azmun and Claudinho won.

Akinfeev and then was in the top three for the state. And in 2023, hope is probably on Golovin. The midfielder has an interesting task: he is fighting for a ticket Champions League, and the prospect of moving big next summer. Motivation is important and RPL she is in short supply. Although not only her absence explains the victory of the legionnaires. Russian players are still not bright and stable enough.
