There will be fewer mistakes later, but the beginning is interesting.

Unable to save the old level

You can complain, swear, criticize or ignite a moldy snobbery, teaching what exactly clubs and their top teams are doing now, even if they are not in control of the situation. And it is better to admit that it could not be otherwise. And so it’s a miracle that, due to inflated salaries, they kept some of the respectable legionaries at least for a while. And due to the ancient fear of competition, there was no outflow of local artisans overseas. Selyuk proposes another version: he called the players “gray mass” and believes that local actors are simply not in demand overseas. And there will be less money at home, as seen from the launch of Dziuba. Before Uefa fed all the successful clubs RPL. The business will lose, and with it the treasury, from which clubs receive billions. Therefore, it is worth assuming that the level is going down and that the process has only just begun. But Vasily Utkin is right: when there are no high expectations, any decent storyline is addictive. As with the series, from which you don’t expect anything, and then it turns out that people have tried and know how to do it. Talented football is born at different levels.

He passed the van Gala-Berdyev stage

Many people like to blame Kurban Bekievich. Allegedly, he personally turned around for a while RPL in the bus division. But it’s like blaming director Balabanov for being able to portray the surrounding reality on the screen exactly as it was in several important eras. It was not Berdyev who invented the 5-3-2 scheme. Van Gaal forward world Cup-2014 was a trend, everyone started actively experimenting, the Italian coaches pulled themselves up – they got a segment with a game from the defense, which was not always successful. And since the class in RPL there was no Dutch attack variation to implement, then there were many closed teams. But it’s been eight years, it’s time for a change. Moreover, if last season some clubs still lived with the illusion of being able to close, now there are no such teams. World football itself goes through the phases of betting on physics and order, which are then replaced by epochs of open play. When the attackers are of a much higher level than the defenders, the tendencies are set by the skill itself. RPL it cannot exist in a vacuum, everyone runs – they run.

Few inside RPL he knows how to defend himself

There is an exception, but more on that later. And it’s not about “Zenith”. The fact that no one has smashed them yet speaks to the strength of Semak’s attack and the unpreparedness of his rivals, nothing more. A rookie at Milan, the clever de Ketelare led Zenit’s defense after lessons a couple of years ago. “Betis” and “Juventus” have arrived on the grid of the gates of St. Petersburg. Lovren and Chistyakov are not Van Dyck and Dias. There will be mistakes. And if we are talking about Spartak, CSKA or Dynamo, then they just don’t have enough great masters. As with Lokomotiv, where physics is also lame. Only Khimki is an exception. There is a system of protection, but it is based on mutual assistance. The rest of the clubs, especially Krasnodar, where the defenders make fun of Safonov, have no idea of ​​the quality of the work without the ball.

Strangers are not afraid of favorites

TO RPL has always had a circle of favorites. CSKA, and then Lokomotiv played in the Champions League for several seasons in a row. Zenit is back. Spartak, Krasnodar and later Dynamo had club status with money and possibilities to please. There were also some nice middle peasants. Rostov, Rubin and Sochi. And now Fakel doesn’t care what gifts the rivals have. beginner from FNL he is not afraid of solid opponents. Karpin and his Rostov are the same. When everyone goes on the attack without fear, even Torpedo, sooner or later they create beauty.

Noname come to the fore

When a man lives to retire, he can tell the same story of his youth for decades. Then it was his best hour. Was Hamid Agalarov like this last season? Everyone understands that Akhmat’s newcomer may not have enough class to make his career resemble Smolov’s own career. Fedor has not fully realized his potential, but he, Dziuba or Kokorin are clearly higher in the class than the guys who can score a lot this season – Suleymanov, Sychevoi or Tsypchenko, because Dmitry will definitely create sensible teammates moments in ” The wings of the Soviets. ”There are also defenders and midfielders with no star status that yet will come to the fore. The outflow of legionnaires gives the locals game practice.

Sincere football has become more

The main thing is that at the end of the season the guys with the whistle do not decide to take advantage of the situation, because the last four places and the first in the standings are important. But while Abaskal’s claim that refereeing disputes are a waste of time and Torch’s official attempt, represented by former Spartak manager Askhabadze, to appease the referee, Voronezh residents will not file protests against the arbitrage, this is not just diplomacy. It is also a recognition that it is time to get simpler. PSG with superstars it will only become a real team if the coach explains to Messi, Ramos and Mbappe that you cannot look at the ceiling with your chin. By analogy in a sincere variation RPL with the middle masters there will be more brilliant fights with goals. Last season, Wings of the Soviets was downright sincere. Now Spartak, Zenith have gone on the attack, CSKA, Krasnodar and Fakel. Many clubs run ahead when the opposition allows. Dynamo and Lokomotiv, whose results could have been better, also have the potential for a brilliant match right on the opponent’s goal.

Don’t forget about rejuvenation

Is everything lost? So often they cry out when one era is replaced by another. Childbirth can be painful, but it’s like an old book. The forbidden fruit has turned into mortals, a woman should give birth with pain and a man work with the sweat of her brow. It is important not to compare RPL With Premier League or the Bundesliga, which will return this week. The difference will be huge and it is clear in whose favor. But there was no other way. But the level parity between the teams RPL not always seen. Now everyone except Zenit is alike because they are vulnerable. At the same time, there is not a single team, including the strongest, that does not need to work on itself. In the past, mind games were organized, you could sit quietly and earn billions. There have been enough frankly boring games. Now the veterans are cheerful: Smolov, Moses, Ionov, Noboa or Semenov are not fans of boring viscous football, and there are incredibly many young people.

Only players under 21 at the same time forty people. And this is only the third round, not everyone could run. And if we talk about footballers under 25, then they are already 134. The list includes Carrascal, Spertsyan, Wendel, Safonov, Utkin, Pinyaev, Oblyakov, Zakharyan, Glushenkov and many others. Everyone can play stronger by spring now. Isidor, Diveev or Chalov are also not on the old list. It is clear that young people will make both mistakes and pleasure, and often in a match. Efficiency RPL has been growing for many years. In the last league, they achieved the score of 2.66 goals per game, which is significantly more than 2.13 compared to the past. We have now achieved an insane 3.38 goals per game, everyone goes on the attack – both Fakel Vasilenko and Spartak Abascal. It is clear that this is a temporary anomaly with goals, but they play in a fun and also a little crazy way.
