Semak isn’t the only candidate for “Gold”.
“Locomotive”
Arguments “for”. The hardest part is justifying Lokomotiv’s title. And it’s a sin not to try. A lawyer needing to prove Galaktionov’s right to a place in history would pay attention to the underestimation of rivals. Lokomotiv in the past unsuccessful season Spartak and Dynamo. On a good day, they scored three points in the Derby. Lokomotiv had no one against Krasnodar and Zenit. The metropolitan team has a young roster, two goalkeepers to choose from, and the opportunity to strengthen its attacking force. The Legionnaires’ limit doesn’t interfere with transfer deals.Arguments against.
Galaktionov has no experience in a serious championship race, like some of his rivals. Lokomotiv hasn’t signed any attractive Legionnaires. Havbek Vera eventually went to Sheikham United Arab Emirates . The Railway Workers have a weak position – Nyamsi and Montes have played in the center of defense, but the Frenchman and the Mexican have made terrible mistakes. Opornik Karpukas has stopped progressing. His partner Barinov has joined the Premier League. Vincer Pinyaev has attracted competitors, and Lokomotiv has a tense personnel situation. “Dynamo”Arguments “for”.
Karpin did not become Spartak champion in youth training. Then he served in Rostov, where he did not fight for first place. Karpin rested more than his competitors. Dynamo has an experienced director Bouvach, he is preparing transfers. The Moscow Club has had solid budgets in recent years. In the capital they are ready to sign expensive players. The composition is collected with thoughts on the attack. Attack is Dynamo’s main trump card, in addition to fighting qualities. In the selection they play like an average peasant, and in the attack it is better than many competitors.
Arguments “against”. They are unlucky. There was enough of a draw against Krasnodar a year ago to lose Zenit the title. A goal for the cup price. And a little earlier, Dynamo gave the championship after failures with the middle peasants. A team that attacked perfectly has missed goals for several years in a row. Goalkeeper Leshchuk has a goal in other people’s goals, but Igor made fatal mistakes. It is important for Karpin to establish the play in defense, without losing the attacking structure with playmaker Butello. Without a strong defense, Dynamo is not a contender for the title.
“Spartacus” Arguments “for”.
They released a winning streak that resembled Romantsev’s records. Stankovich – Champion coach, he had titles in Hungary and Serbia. Spartak has even more money than Dynamo. They invested in strong players, although the selection did not affect the flanks of the defense. Zabkovych has a lot of wingers, and the defenders are unlikely to play at the level of Khakim and Mendes with an amendment to the class. But with each season there are more benefits for the Spartak championship. For example, Babich and Maksimenko put the defense in order.
Arguments “against”. Spartak could come first, then Stankovich will be handed over, and the players will have an unsuccessful first half in matches against the midfielders. The story of self-destruction will begin for Spartak. For the championship, every little thing must be right. Babich needs a stable, cool partner in the center of defense. Umyarov shouldn’t just shine in the fight. It’s important to keep Barko in the lineup, and buyers have come for the Argentinian. Spartak is hard to break out of a closed circle without trophies.
Central sports club Armenia
Arguments “for.”
They invited the intelligent coach from Chelsea. The Swiss won the Super Cup. He showed the “army” players that they could beat Krasnodar, regardless of their opponent’s league experience. CSKA He suffocated a year ago in the fall, and in the spring, he made a strong impact with a move. The young Opornik Kislyak helped. I liked the play of the impudent striker Glebov. Experienced Willian and Moises, with support from Diveev, helped out in defense. Akinfeev didn’t go fishing. There are still a few sensible transfers to be made before the end of the summer.
Arguments “against.” CSKA He was the first to beat Semin’s Locomotive and Carrera’s Spartak. Now the team has a different lineup. The change of tactics sent Pegasus into flight, but the horses only fluttered their wings in fairy tales. CSKA Less money than the competition. Chelsea could prove to be a master of the segments, and for the title, you need a year in one breath. Krasnodar relied on an impressive winning streak in the RPLand CSKA Perhaps there isn’t enough strength for such a jerk.
“Zenit”
Arguments “for”. The most boring competitor. All the arguments in favor of Zenit are well-known. They have six titles in a row and a runner-up spot. They spoke correctly about Zenit’s weaknesses. Last season, Kasserra didn’t score goals every week. Their playmaker Claudinho left for Qatar. Vendiad and Glushenkov were enough for a magnificent start. Now Semak has a few new arrivals and negotiations with Uesley Latrail.And besides the transfers, there’s the most important argument for the title: Zenit was hungry. Arguments “against.”
When the monarch loses his divine status, revolution is on the verge. Opponents might believe in Zenit’s imperfection. Within the team, friction arose, which coach Semak couldn’t cope with. Sergei Bogdanovich didn’t offer anything tactically outstanding. Zenit tried to become the first with old facilities. As a result, they lost to Akron and the Soviet Union, which is why they were left without a seventh title contract. “Krasnodar” Arguments “for”.
Their championship experience is their downfall. Krasnodar won’t have a sale, which is important. The simultaneous loss of Agkatsev, Costa, Spertyan, and Cordoba could destroy the team. The Citizens survived the previous round of losses, they played well. Musaev plays football that is difficult to show solid qualities with in the top-flight matches, but easy to apply pressure and win in the championship. The Bulls have learned to beat the midfielders. If they lose stupid draws, Krasnodar will be back in the top group.
Arguments “against”. In addition to the obvious minus for Krasnodar—Zenit got angry and intends to punish the Bulls for the championships—there are some personnel issues. The defender’s partners didn’t always play very well. The lats and wingers failed the team. Almost everyone had important performances, but the spring was a fairy tale. Moscow and Zenit helped Musaev hold on to first place after a five-round winless streak. Now, the rivals are poised to play more literate and regain the title.
