The former defender of the USSR national team and Spartak, Vagiz Khidiyatullin, told Sport Day by Day that Zenit has more chances to win the Russian championship than the Red-Whites, who are inferior to the Petersburgers in the organization.
After 17 rounds, Zenit is in first place with 42 points. Spartak is second with 36 points.
– Do you follow the current championship of Russia?
– Yes, I follow as a fan, without fanaticism. I don’t track transfers, I don’t follow who went where.
– Should we expect the championship race of “Spartak” and “Zenith”?
– “Spartak” and “Zenith” are the teams that claim the title of champion of Russia. Both those and others will make every effort to solve their problems. Spartak was very interesting and sometimes beautiful with its game. After a pause, everything will be different – start over. Zenit has a fairly confident handicap. They have a slightly better chance.
– In what way is Spartak inferior to Zenit at the moment?
Let’s leave this question to the experts. Maybe in a certain organization, but these are trifles. It’s hard for me to talk about this. You need to understand all the affairs of the club and the transfer policy. Since Spartak has such a gap – six points, it means that everything is not going so smoothly for him.
– How do you evaluate the work of Abaskal and the results of the team after his arrival?
– Time will show. Remember, at first everyone accepted him with hostility – as it always happens with us. He needed to withstand this blow, which he did. Now the work is underway, he’s done well. Need to be treated with respect. First of all, this is the merit of Abaskal and the team that believed in him and supported him. Do you know what kind of players are? They can make such revolutions! In the case of Abaskal, everything went well. At the age of 30, to endure such negativity is worth a lot.

Russian Football Federation (RFU) hopes that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will follow the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) subject to the admission of youth teams. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.
In December THAT IS recommended removing all restrictions for young Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in all competitions with the anthem and flag.
“This recommendation has become an important event for all Russian sports. We see that in many sports international federations are making decisions on the admission of our athletes,” Mitrofanov said. “And there are more and more such decisions.” Recommendation THAT IS plays an important role in this process. Let’s proceed from the fact that FIFA this recommendation will be heeded.”
“At the same time, it is important to understand that the popularity and attention, including at the state and political level, towards different sports in Europe are different. The large international basketball, hockey and football federations are more careful in analyzing the decisions they make. They probably already realized that they have overdone it in 2022. Now it is even more difficult for them to get out of this situation, also because they are afraid of facing the position of a large number of countries which, at the state level, will hinder the implementation decisions about our return,” Mitrofanov added.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

Invitation from the Togliatti Akron striker Artem Dziuba joining the Russian national football team was a positive event. This opinion was expressed in an interview by the general secretary of the Russian Football Federation (RFU) Maxim Mitrofanov.
In March Dzyuba scored against the Grenada team (5:0) and passed Alexandra Kerzakova in terms of goals for the Russian national team, he scored 31 goals.
“I rate it positively [приглашение Дзюбы в сборную]. I think it was a good decision by our coach [Валерия Карпина]Mitrofanov said. “The footballer deserves this opportunity. I am quite relaxed in counting records, but for the players and fans this plays a role. It is also important that the coach allowed the player to prove himself, showing that he had no conflict with Artem.”
“He is a good guy and a good footballer and he took the story very positively. He managed to score, it was clear from Artem’s emotions that he really wanted it,” Mitrofanov added.
In December Kerzhakov announced on his Telegram channel that he had sent a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA) about the authorship of the second goal of the Russian team in the friendly match against the German team on June 8, 2005 (2:2). If RFU admits that the goal was not scored Andrei Arshavinand Kerzhakov, then he will again share first place with Dzyuba.
