Scouts keep an eye on brilliant football players.

Eduard Spertsyan (Krasnodar/Armenia)

The young midfielder will play against Croatia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. There will be a person from Juventus at the stadium to evaluate Eduard’s work. Scouts have been observing one of the Krasnodar leaders for a long time. If last summer they came to get him from Holland, now Spertsyan is interested in people from Serie A. Eduard has a format for such a championship. He plays between the lines, not always with incredible intensity, but he plays well from the spot. Set pieces, intelligent passing and goal-scoring instincts make the Krasnodar native, who chose his ancestral club Armenia, an excellent target. Galitsky and Spertsyan took a break correctly. Without Eduard Ivic perhaps he wouldn’t have made the leap in the rankings, Butchi and Kadi were of a lower class than the young Armenian. And with the success of Krasnodar, Spertsyan’s shares rose. Eduard can play for Juventus, where Golovin did not join immediately.

Alexandra Sobolev (Spartak/Russia)

He combines physical strength and the ability to play in a draw. Abascal threw Sobolev on the wing, outside the opponent’s penalty area Alexander demonstrated his understanding of football. But scouts don’t just look at physical and technical characteristics. Everyone is interested in personal qualities. Many have given up on Arshavin in the past due to his behavior off the field. They were afraid of Denisov from Zenit, the scouts knew his character. Nobody called Shirokov. The midfielder arrived late, but if he had been more reasonable he could have ended up at a serious European club. Sobolev as Dzyuba’s heir. The striker could receive a series of rejections from serious European clubs due to his behavior. Cards, provocations, simulations, conflicts with Abascal form a reputation. It’s bad that there are no people around Alexander who explain to him that he is not Ibrahimovic.

Mateo Cassierra (Zenit/Colombia)

The St. Pereburg club tied the Brazilians with salaries and commissions to agents, who in every interview talk about their eternal love for Zenit. But Cassierra can dream of the top 5. Offers have arrived from Europe, which the Colombian himself spoke about. Mateo chose Zenit for the money. And a year ago I regretted it, because the match wasn’t going well. Now the striker has scored 12 goals in the first round RPL. Cassierra could be of interest to a strong team. If we evaluate him critically, in terms of experience, approach and class Mateo is not much inferior to Chelsea’s Jackson. Only one other lanky striker played for Villarreal, whose men convinced Boeli’s observers. The Colombian is unlikely to end up at a club of Chelsea’s caliber, but he could return to the West. The striker is advertised for his goals and Cassierra has many of them. If Krasnodar Cordoba is 30 years old, which will scare away Western buyers, then Mateo comes to the last carriage of the train.

Nair Tiknizyan (Lokomotiv/Armenia)

The Armenians have decisive matches in the qualifying round. If Petrakov’s team with Spertsyan and Tiknizyan makes a sensation in the fight against the Croats and Welsh, theoretical possibilities remain, then the leaders of the Armenian national team will certainly be invited to serious clubs. But Tiknizyan, who charmed scouts at the beginning of the season, has problems like Sobolev. Nair has a lot of unnecessary aggression on the pitch, plenty of yellow cards and hardly an angelic demeanor off the pitch. Tiknizyan shows his character too often. Former player CSKA he settled on the left side of Lokomotiv, but made many mistakes in defense and doesn’t always play so well in attack. Foreign clubs also appreciated Tiknizyan’s interview, in which he spoke arrogantly about the Bundesliga invitations.

Benjamin Garre (“Wings of the Soviets”/Argentina)

We wish Garra to find a competent agent. After all, if his interests are represented by a person related to the Russian market, then Benjamin will not have a brilliant career in the elite championship. And boy is he talented. Garre has an Italian passport, an important factor in negotiations with Serie A clubs. Based on the format of the game, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder is fully suitable for a move to Italy. He changes position, he plays for the most productive team of the season RPL. “Krylya Sovetov” often creates chances, and the reason is not only Rasskazov’s good connections in attack, and not only the amazing actions of the intelligent junior Saltykov. Garre is the leader of Krylia Sovetov, we wish him to find a solid club in the top 5. But it is not worth going to Moscow and St. Petersburg, Benjamin deserves to try his hand in matches with the European Cup finalists of recent years.

Fedor Chalov (CSKA/Russia)

attack CSKA went to a foreign club. I managed to play for Basel before the Swiss began to sink in the table – the legendary club is in the last twelfth place in the championship table. Now they could use Chalov’s goals. Without the attacker’s intelligent actions, he would also be lower in the table CSKA. Fedor can be called the best football player on the field RPL from the Russians, since many of the heroes of the season are foreigners, and Safonov is a goalkeeper. Chalov, for obvious reasons, is not a mature player like Golovin, but Fedor has moved from the center of the attack to the internal position. And the scouts noticed it too. The Russian striker has been recruited nuclear submarine many years ago, but it remained and through the crisis it managed to progress. The main thing is not to repeat Zakharyan’s mistake. We have to go to a foreign club, where Chalov is needed as a starter and not as a rotation player.

To other valuable players from RPL – For Safonov, Claudinho, Tyukavin, Tyukavin, Bitelo and Vendel it is also important to look for teams where the coach believes in them. Arshavin does not understand why Kuzyaev went to Le Havre, while he himself played for Kairat. They attend renowned leagues not because the teams are of a higher class than Zenit, but to have the chance to participate in European competitions. They also go west for the packed stands and the experience of playing against the teams of Haaland, Kane, Mbappe, Lautaro and Vinicius. Arshavin is wrong, but Karpin is right: football players of RPL You should look for yourself in the elite leagues, where the competition is much higher.
