| “Dynamo” and “Amkar” decided which of them was superfluous There is one more private club in the Russian Premier League. The controlling stake in Dynamo (51%) passed to businessman Alexey Fedorychev. The same Fedorychev who owns the Fedcominvest company and sponsors the Monaco club. Now it is not known for certain how the remaining Dynamo shares are distributed. But if we take into account that previously the central council of Dynamo owned 75% of the shares, and the rest were under the control of private individuals, now most likely the CSO has no more than a quarter of the stake left. Financial details of the deal are also not disclosed. But it is possible that, in exchange for shares, the CSB forgave debts and guaranteed large investments.
Along with the new owner, a new derby appeared in the Premier League. We had numerous capital ones, no less frequent Volga ones, the most important oil ones, small-town provincial ones, and now a new product of the season - mineral fertilizer derby. After all, as you know, Mr. Fedorychev’s company is engaged in the import of this product. The name of the team “Amkar” is nothing more than an abbreviation for the words “ammonia” and “carbonite”. And this should emphasize the connection between the football players and the Perm mineral fertilizer plant.
The premiere was not postponed. The first meeting of the new, now irreconcilable rivals took place on Saturday. True, she also threatened to become the last. The position of both teams in the standings is now such that the loser of this match became the main candidate for relegation. After Rotor, of course, he long ago dipped his toes into the first division.
In addition, this match marked the debut of Oleg Romantsev in his new capacity as a team consultant. Perhaps the health of no football character worries the public as much as the well-being of Oleg Ivanovich. Before the game, there was a lively discussion about how much weight the country's most titled coach had lost. Experts, including Dynamo General Director Yuri Zavarzin, claimed that it was about thirty kilograms. In addition, Oleg Romantsev began to often appear in public without dark glasses - experts recognized this as a good sign. Little things like complexion and the number of cigarettes smoked never ceased to amaze me.
But if the appearance of the Dynamo consultant inspired some optimism in the fans, the same could not be said about the team. And although the “blue and white” achieved a much-needed victory, the game did not leave the impression that it was “Dynamo” that should retain their place in the Premier League. In fact, the hosts were only successful in the last 15 minutes of the match. And by that time Amkar was already playing with ten players. In addition, the penalty awarded against Perm also left an unpleasant aftertaste. But this is already a classic of refereeing: a penalty in the first half for the hosts, a penalty in the second for the guests. And this was in front of the RFPL commissioner, who was summoned by Amkar specifically for this match. However, who thought it would be different? There is only one spot in the league for the mineral fertilizer team. “We consulted with Oleg Ivanovich on the day of the game and during the break of the match. He agreed with all my proposals,” noted the key role of the consultant in the victory, Dynamo’s acting head coach Viktor Bondarenko.
Another debut took place in the last round. The game between “Spartak” and “Rubin” can be called the first truly premiere for the new coach of the “red-whites” Alexander Starkov. And even though the Muscovites didn’t show anything particularly new in this game, the main thing was that they got a victory. Moreover, for the first time in its entire short history of meetings with Rubin. True, Kazan is now experiencing a lull on all sports fronts. The city, which is now preparing for its 1000th anniversary, has no time for football, hockey and basketball.
