Superstar, romance and crisis
Sports.ru - about the results of the first part of the Russian Football Championship
Russian football went on a winter break-on December 8 the last matches of the Premier League in 2014 were played. The tournament will resume only in March, so it's time to summarize. Sports.ru editors Ivan Kalashnikov, Denis Romantsov, Yuri Dud, Alexey Belov, Roman Moon and Vladislav Voronin say - this championship is not like the previous ones.
A team appeared in the Russian championship with a bet on Russian youth (Rubin), Dynamo again became a top club, and it is played by the new Premier League superstar, the Frenchman Mathieu Valbuan. Spartak no longer fights for the championship, and the “last romantics of Russian football” (Tula Arsenal) think about survival.
Separately, Sports.ru concerns money - Yuri Dud believes that the financial crisis in the country will be so power that it will surely affect football.
At the beginning of the hungry winter 2015, there is every reason to think: “One of the participants in the 2014/15 Premier League is removed during the championship” no less passing rate than Zenit won the championship of victory.
