Hamid risks repeating the fate of his predecessors.
The best snipers of the season don’t develop success
Akhmat officially confirmed that Agalarov would not play FNL – left Ufa, moved to Talalaev’s team. But this means that all the richest clubs in the Grozny team have refused the transfer. The man who scored 19 goals in RPLspeaking on behalf of one of the outsiders, he did not want to see either Belgian or Turkish teams in the composition. Is it a bit sad that they don’t believe so much in Russia’s youth national team player?
But the scouts can be understood. Alagarov has talent and problems with the football school. You can call him a local Gerd Müller, but the great German brought the ability to score out of thin air throughout his career, he was one of the leading strikers in the world. It will be difficult for Agalarov to get close to his results last season. At the same time, we point out that the well-known agents and statisticians who always criticize Hamid are wrong. A competent coach will take out goals from such a striker. And he will introduce him to team football.
The calculation is correct, the base of “Akhmat” is better than the “Dynamo” or bench press CSKA. We wish Agalarov is not on the fringes of football, like many of the top major league snipers. Unfortunately, this award does not mean that the player will have a happy future in international football. For example: a record holder from the 1990s.
Veretennikov has four caps for the national team
Oleg Alexandrovich is a legend of the Russian major league and Rotor, but it is difficult to put a high-scoring attacking player as a footballer on par with the legends of the Russian team. Veretennikov only played four games in the first team and it never occurred to anyone to criticize the mentors for that. The Major League in Russia allowed a strong middle farmer to become the best sniper. Veretennikov has won three times, and this is a record.
Neither Kasumov, who went to Spain and picked the Azerbaijani national team, nor Matveev, who scored 20 goals in an unusual first season, have won many international accolades. Senior Panchenko has never played for the national team. Simutenkov went to Italy, played in Spain, but the best sniper of the season was a strong footballer and not a future legend of legends. It is extremely rare for anyone other than Veretennikov or midfielder Loskov to repeat his best result ever.
Rostselmash’s Maslov ended up in Spain, but ended up in Switzerland – as usual for the best snipers of the season, he hasn’t even played for the Russian first team. Georgiy Demetradze played for Dynamo Kyiv but failed to make it to Real Sociedad. The former Alania striker has a difficult fate in general: he ended up in prison.
The legionaries are no different from their Russian colleagues
Holland scored a lot in Austria: he left for Germany. Dortmund are happy with the goals: they ended up at Manchester City. It’s inside RPL there are no such examples. “Spartak” has all won for years and only Pavlyuchenko, a boy from “Rotor”, not a pupil of the “red-whites”, received the first prize. Furthermore, the “sleeping giant” did not reach the top Premier League in Tottenham, but there are similar stories of foreigners nearby.
Vagner Love became the third “soldier” with a goal record of the season – after Gusev and Kirichenko, but he was not the main “nine” of the Brazilian national team at a time when the deficit in position was felt very sharply. The love of football allows Wagner to perform at the age of 38. The attacker also asks from time to time to return CSKA, just the other day I was full of things to visit again. But after Moscow you have played in Brazil, China, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Denmark.
Wagner Love has played in the top 5 only once in his life – for Monaco, but he did not stay, he did not catch on. In the more modest clubs he did not test himself to find himself for years in Spain or Italy. Welliton, Wanderson or Doumbia have a similar fate. Movsisyan also failed to get into a decent club in the leading league thanks to Spartak. Even the Hulk himself did not become a Chelsea or Juventus striker. Promesa took Sevilla and regretted that Quincey didn’t play in the Example.
Often winning a sniper contest results in a loss of form.
In recent years the Russians have won, as at the beginning of this story. But Smolov is not a Celta star, to which he has returned RPL. He has now been canceled from Lokomotiv due to the club’s new course. The first six months in his native Dynamo did not make Fedor Mikhailovich an audience favorite. If Tyukavin is in order, the veteran could be on the bench. And what about the best young snipers of the season?
There are hardly any. In addition to Agalarov, he soon reached the summit of Chalov. As a result, he played on loan at Basel and the Swiss did not take over the contract. Let’s see how events unfold, Fedor dreams of playing in Western Europe. But so far, his position is worse than that of the legionnaire Azmun. However, will Serdar be successful if Patrick Schick stays at Bayer Leverkusen? The Iranian left RPL not in his twenties, he has a certain baggage. He is a good striker, but he hasn’t become a great striker.
Like Dziuba, who is still talked about, because after Zenit he is a multiple champion of Russia and the best sniper in history RPL looking for a new club as a free agent. And he didn’t reach his goal, he ended up in the Rubin headquarters, where he trains with a friend’s team – the coach Slutsky. A year ago, Dzyuba was the best sniper RPL with 20 goals. Now fit with the team FNL. Fate is tough for strikers of all sizes and ages who have had the audacity to win a sniper contest in the Russian top flight.
Take Kerzhakov himself. At Zenit he grew up a sniper for the best teams in Europe. In Seville it did not become his. Back home, he was remembered by the world of football for the English verb, which means “to miss”. “I have beaten, I have beaten and I will beat” – the motto speaks of imprecise strokes and not of eternal goals. Even the crafty Welliton – he didn’t play for Celta, and the objectively powerful Hulk – never spent a single second in the top 5 of his career, he didn’t achieve phenomenal success, winning the contest of the best strikers in RPL.
It is not clear who will win in the new season: many changes in the compositions. But often the best sniper remains in the memory of a man gifted with talent and goals, but without historical greatness, perhaps local, like Loskov or Veretennikov for their main career clubs. Bad luck for the best snipers RPLchronically unfortunate.
