Former CSKA football player Dmitry Kuznetsov believes that Spartak midfielder Ruslan Litvinov can be called the best young player in the WORLD RPL due to his versatile playing style.

Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Sergey Pinyaev scored the highest number of points in the Championship voting for the best young (21 years and under) football player of the 2022/23 season in the RPL WORLD. Dynamo forward Konstantin Tyukavin and Litvinov scored the same number of points and entered the top 3.

– The choice is excellent! All three are progressing. Litvinov is a generalist. He can play in the middle line, and played a lot from behind, covering the position of the central defender. He is more suited to the place of the candidate for the first place. But I also like Tyukavin: the way he plays, he comes on as a substitute in most games. He needs to be more trusted.

Tyukavin has matured as a player for the main squad. Pinyaev is an asterisk, fast. He got up, took a place in the national team, looked very good. The guys can be put in any order, but since Litvinov is a more versatile player, maybe he stands out a little for me, ”Kuznetsov told the Championship.

Litvinov, 21, made 34 appearances last season, scoring 3 goals and making 4 assists. He was recognized as the best young player of the Red-Whites last season according to the results of the fans’ vote.
