Granat called Krasnodar player Volkov the best defender of the RPL based on the results of the first round
Former Russian national team player Vladimir Granat named Krasnodar footballer Sergei Volkov the best defender of the MIR Russian Premier League (RPL) based on the results of the first round.
This season, 21-year-old Volkov played 19 matches and made three assists.
— I liked Volkov from Krasnodar. It can be called the best. This season he has improved, become more active and confident. It’s not for nothing that he was called up to the national team, and, quite possibly, this influenced him and serves as an additional incentive to play better. Plus, when the whole team improves, then you don’t stand still,” Legalbet quotes Volkov as saying.
After 15 rounds of the WORLD RPL Krasnodar is in first place (32 points) in the standings.
