Waiting for Football. Russian National Team Players Return to Their Clubs
I'm waiting for football. The Russian national team players have returned to their clubs.
With the national team's October training camp ending early, fan interest in the Premier League has returned ahead of schedule.
Initially, after 11 rounds, the leading positions Krasnodar and Lokomotiv had 27 points each, but the Kuban team won the face-to-face meeting with a score of 3:0 and took first place. The current champion Zenit is in third place with 26 points. The rest were left behind. CSKA and Dynamo have 20 points each, and Spartak, in sixth place, has 19 points. Three zeros remained in the rating: in the "Victories" column for Akhmat, in the "Losses" column for Krasnodar and in the "Draws" column for Lokomotiv.
Who scored the most points? "Rocco" - 26 goals. Who has the most wins? He has nine. And the "railwaymen" lost twice to "Krasnodar" and "Dynamo". That is, those who had a good chance to win gold last season. Well, Zenit has the best goal difference - +19.
At the moment, there have been 5 or even 4 director resignations. Ilshat Aitkulov was acting head coach of Orenburg only until Vladimir Sliskovic arrived a week ago. This is the same Bosnian who replaced Abaskal six months ago and did not lose a single time in seven RPL matches. Spartak's opponents under his leadership were CSKA, Krasnodar and Lokomotiv. Sliskovic's first match as part of Orenburg will be on October 20 against Krylia Sovetov. It's a shame about Akhmat. Because even the new head coach Sergei Tashuev, who returned to the team, cannot start winning. The Grozny team is in last place, with 6 draws and 5 defeats. Moreover, they play quality football.
For the first time this season, the current champion starts a new round. On Friday evening at 18:00, Zenit will meet Tolyatti's Akron in Samara. The central match of Saturday's 12th round is Spartak - Krasnodar. The Bulls have won eight games in a row, as they are the clear leaders in dynamism and energy expenditure. Although we started the tournament with three draws. CSKA will resume the championship with an away match against Khimki's Loko Rubin at Makhachkala's Dynamo in Nizhny Novgorod.
Krasnodar's Cordoba has scored in four games in a row. And all three leaders have coaches from Russia, not foreigners: Musayev, Galaktionov and Semak. Maxim Glushenkov, the league's top scorer, suffered his second injury in seven weeks. On August 18, he broke his arm, but on October 7, returning to the field, he suffered a hamstring injury. Despite this, the Zenit player remains in first place with seven accurate hits. By the way, one goal in 60 minutes with a unique rate of fire.
Match TV will broadcast three games out of 12 rounds live, including the central match between Spartak and Krasnodar.
