The team will delight fans of nine different clubs.
Doorman
Ilya Lantratov (Lokomotiv) – courage of the tour
The Muscovites finished the match against Akhmat with nine men, but Lantratov didn’t give up on the win. He warmed up after a hard blow from Agalarov and worked wonders afterwards. Lokomotiv’s new number 1 had a crazy double save after a difficult header from Hamid and an addition from Ilyin. Lantratov’s five saves are the reasons for Galaktionov’s victory, in addition to Pinyaev’s goal.
Defenders
Andrey Langovich (Rostov) – tour junior
Most likely, in the attack, in which Langovich scored his debut goal RPL, there was a violation of the rules on the goalkeeper, but the goal was counted. Someone else’s foul does not nullify the 19-year-old right-back’s active actions in a difficult home game for Rostov. “Pari NN” scored after a mistake by Melekhin, and his colleague looked great. Karpin needs strong hips.
Egor Filipenko (Urals)
“Ural” against a specific “Torpedo” – 5 out of 6 shots on target, minimized the risks for Pomazun. Three shots came from long range and three more from Filipenko’s partner’s area. Egor did not enter into a direct fight, but he was not beaten. He played the pass accurately, intercepted and carried the ball away from the goal. Ural Gancharenko will be a tough opponent for Spartak in the Cup.
Matias Perez (Orenburg) – tour newcomer
The advice of Zenit scouts helps Orenburg from the promising Lichka. Perhaps Perez has been rejected at European clubs due to his low height for a centre-back. But “Orenburg” got a strong player with a pass, a choice of position and a decent game in the second plan. Sochi attacked, but Perez and Gojkovic played well. It was Matias who helped Noboa score an own goal.
Ivan Oblyakov (CSKA) – Station wagon
Oblyakov closed the entire left curb, moved to the center, and also to the position of inside left, while Chalov was looking for chances in the penalty area. The plan worked, Ivan was rewarded with a goal that he fully deserved. Furthermore, the midfielder got into the fray, preventing Bale and Rasskazov from creating chances. An attempt to crush Oblyakov with the number of opponents did not work.
Midfielders
Ivan Basic (Orenburg)
Bašić has two effective actions simultaneously on the day of the cold shower for the Sochi players. After defeating CSKA thought that at home they would upset Orenburg? It did not work. Lichka slowly introduces Ivan into the starting line-up, but the Bosnian will make his mark after the Sochi game. Bašić put the ball on Perez’s head before Noboa’s own goal, and brought about the rout himself shortly afterwards.
Butta Magomedov (Khimki)
In “Alania” Magomedov scored a lot, but in “Khimki” he could not immediately repeat the success. But for a year in the new club, he received the right to the captain’s armband from Gogniev and helped the team return the intrigue to St. Petersburg. Magomedov can’t always play at this level, but he saw through the Zenit defense when he hit Kerzhakov ‘at home’ and converted a penalty.
Kadi Borges (Krasnodar) – double of the week
After a missed goal, Krasnodar did not give up. There were enough mistakes in defense, but Borges prayed for the sins of his teammates up front. The midfielder scored with a header, also moved sharply from the left wing to the center and irresistibly shot on goal. Kadi’s treacherous actions gave Dr. Ivic a recipe for victory: opponents’ mistakes plus high conversion, because they scored 3 goals after 4 shots on goal.
after you
Malcolm (Zenith) – ease of touring
Given Malcolm’s form, the winger certainly regrets not playing against Bayern in the Champions League last week PSG. Neymar’s injury could have sent the Parisian rookie straight to the starting lineup and made the readiness level a winning wildcard. But Malcom remained to beat Khimki. He scored twice and got in the right positions for a shot four more times.
Anton Zabolotny (CSKA) – return of the year
I was surprised why the striker of the “army men” did not succeed under the leadership of the coach, with whom he played great in Sochi. Fedotov explained that these were psychological problems. Since December 2021 the striker has not been able to score RPL. But he got off the start in a snowstorm, he scored and he gave an assist. Zabolotny looked better than Carrascal in recent games.
Quincy Promes (Spartak) is the hero of the tour
The first legionnaire in the history of the “red and white” who scored 100 goals for the club. The Dutchman’s brace helped the team beat Fakel in a difficult match, and Sobolev motivated him by declaring that he would also score a hundred goals for Spartak. Quincy needed time to pick up the pace because he missed the retreat. As soon as the veteran felt the rhythm of the team’s attacks and took the right positions, goals immediately followed.
Head coach
Vladimir Fedotov (CSKA)
The “army” had a terrible streak RPL, one win from seven matches. Lost 15 points. The separation of “Zenith” is now equal to fourteen. Fedotov’s wards, losing to Pari NN and Sochi, deprived themselves of the pleasure of fighting for the championship. But on the eve of the match against Zenit, they beat Krylya Sovetov cleanly and confidently. The coach correctly chose tactics, formation and did not lose the match after the break. The result – a defeat with a score of 4:0.
Trend. High performance
In the last round they scored 24 times, and now 27 goals. Despite the weather, despite the empty stands, despite the resumption of the season after a long break, many clubs RPL he stuck to the offensive vector of the game. Sochi, Torpedo, Akhmat and even Wings of the Soviets had a chance to score in one episode. Absolutely all teams could score, but the lack of goals in some matches was compensated for by defeats in others. None played like a coward, averaging 3.37 goals per game. No “spring football”, lots of chances and goals scored.
