We collect heroes from Zenit, Spartak and Lokomotiv.

Doorman

Anton Shunin (Dynamo)

Not to mention that all eight of Anton’s saves were outstanding. But if the goalkeeper is forced to work so often, for the first time since 2020, the veteran has received so many hits, then he has certainly secured his young defensive companions. Shunin is not always able to lead the defense, he has made mistakes before. But he rallied after a break and Dynamo managed to get a difficult victory.

Defenders

Sergei Petrov (Krasnodar)

The football weekend is dedicated to the good play of left wingers, but a right winger has also been noticed. Petrov has tackles and interceptions, but Sergey also has an important goal that allowed Krasnodar to avoid defeat at home to underdogs Torpedo. I found myself in the right place in the penalty area, open for Akhmetov’s pass.

Vanya Drkusic (Sochi) – the reliability of the tour

Eight own goal throw-ins, five close wins, four interceptions, 100% of singles wins one-on-one. Sochi found a clear leader in defense, who saved Dzhanaev from pointless work. Strong name attack CSKA he created several chances, there was one goal disallowed by Moises. But Drkusic worked clearly and deserved compliments for the right football.

Robert Renan (Zenit) – rookie of the week

The young guy was called up to the first team of Brazil, because he did an excellent job for the youth team of the America’s Cup, becoming the champion. Did “Zenith” come up with a lucky ticket? Not excluded. In terms of talent, Renan could be the second Vidic in the field RPL. Nemanja wasn’t as praised until he fell into Ferguson’s hands, but Renan isn’t afraid of the pressure. He made a decent debut, the rumors about Real Madrid are not surprising.

Yevgeny Kharin (Akhmat)

He scored an important first goal – he closed the far post. I understood the attempts of “Orenburg” to often and successfully attack with their flank. Although once he has allowed a successful play, he is not to blame for the passed ball by Akhmat. But he provided a reliable rearguard for Berisha, who scored as much on goal as he wanted. But if an expert colleague was often missing, Kharin’s concreteness in the opening came in handy.

Midfielders

Malcolm (Zenit) – penalty round

Although there were unusually few spectators in the stands, Malcolm had enough grit for a good game. The Brazilian scored from a free-kick – a stunning long-range shot in the nine, and then scored with a header, albeit a small one. The competent game of the Brazilian removed all questions about the winner of the duel. The winger made four shots and created chances three times.

Ruslan Litvinov (Spartak) – the energy of the tour

Spartak did not win, as referee Meshkov forgot the rules of football, but they could have lost without Litvinov’s brace. It’s good that after the rebound one of the balls was not taken away from Ruslan. He deserved both balls. It is clear that in some stages of the match the midfielder received qualified help from Prutsev and Zobnin, but it was Litvinov who became the hero.

Artem Timofeev (Akhmat)

At the end of the match, he was awarded a goal. And this is a fair result, because Timofeev succeeded everywhere in the match against Orenburg. He attacked and defended, cleared the ball and created chances. Four times he hit someone else’s target. The opponent did not play the best match of the season, of course, but Akhmat was active not only on the left wing. Midfield with Timofeev also looked good.

Andrey Mostovoy (Zenit) – tourist assistant

Appearing on two flanks, he hung the ball on Malcolm’s head, threw it at Erokhin, who scored a beautiful long-range shot. With Claudinho on the sidelines and Cassierra not scoring, Mostovoy was at the start and created goals with Malcolm. Wendel helped them weave combinations, but the wingers scored goals. Mostovoy created 6 chances. Two more than all the Pari NN.

after you

Luka Djordjevic (Sochi) – replacement for tour

Sarveli and Melkadze are playing well, while Djordjevic has been on the bench more often. But he went against it CSKA replace and make a double. It worked like a striker should. He clearly addressed two points, it upset Akinfeev and made Fedotov and the “army” leadership think that he failed to make a series of transfers on time in the winter. “Sochi” Berdyev went on the warpath with the favorites.

Artyom Dziuba (Lokomotiv) – return of the week

Theoretically, a whole poker shone. And don’t say we didn’t warn you. It was assumed that Dziuba would score again RPL, where he is the leader of hat-tricks. Although they didn’t think that Artem would score three times in the match against his former club, because they didn’t let him turn against Spartak. But Rostov did not enter the season easily, so the tall forward, who knows how to impose a fight, found his goals. Dziuba’s football is stronger than thoughts.

Head coach

Mikhail Galaktionov (Locomotive)

Gancharenko and Berdyev also worked well, but their teams weren’t in the same condition as Lokomotiv. After the departure from “Spartak” from the Way RPL I had to go to Rostov-on-Don, where Karpin was waiting. Valery Georgievich did not get to Lokomotiv, although he was one of the applicants, but Galaktionov chose the path and is still following it. Dzyuba’s hat-trick helped clinch an important three points, though the coach can be commended for more than just preparing the veteran for the season.

Season Veteran Igor Lebedenko (Torpedo)

Lebedenko excelled RPL at 39 years 282 days. He broke a record that has stood for more than two decades. The attacker “Saturn” surpassed the attacker “Torpedo”. If Nigmatullin was missing in the past, now Safonov. Muscovites brought home a draw. In the future, Lebedenko could score more, update his record.
