On May 21, the Russian football championship ended. The "new" sums up the results of the most eccentric European championship, in which the main intrigue died three rounds before the finish line. Like in England and Germany

Smolov is restless

Last summer, the 27-year-old striker of Krasnodar, unexpectedly, with 20 goals, turned into the best scorer and football player of the 2016 tournament, abandoned the club’s space proposal from the Middle Kingdom. “He wants to rest on the laurels with hookah in the usual native clubs ...”, the fans joked. But Smolov, who had “great” for a long time, scoring into English fun, continued to light in the form of “bulls” to the joy of Sergei Galitsky and again dragged the southerners into the Europa League, making 17 accurate shots in 22 meetings. Throughout the history of the Russian championships, only one Aboriginal man managed to single -handedly win the sniper race for two years in a row - Oleg Veretennikov. And it was so long ago ...

Rubin disease

12 lesions, 8 draws, a negative difference between clogged and missed balls, departure from the Cup of the country from the Urals, the final ninth place and the anti -record at the attendance of home matches. All this is about the team that once beat Barcelona at the Kampa Nou ... At the same time, the current budget of Kazan according to local media estimates is 110 million euros or 7 billion rubles. Three Rubin legionnaires receive more Kokorin, Dziuba and Denis Glushakov, and the Spanish coach of Havi Gracia with a salary of 2.5 million euros is inferior only to Mirche Lucescu from Zenit. In general, in Tatarstan you need to grab the head in every sense, unless, of course, 40 million euros allocated for transfers were needed to solve football problems ...

Romanian puncture "Gazprom"

A club from the shores of the Neva, who possessed an almost unlimited budget and power support, was very mistaken with the invitation of a once steep coach. Instead of teaching Danny and partners to cunning and coordinated combinations, Mircea Lucescu, whose annual earnings are calculated by 4 million euros, took up scandals. After each unsuccessful round, he made a St. Petersburg bonfire and appointed the guilty. These were: transfer campaigns, club bosses, agents, referees, own wards, journalists and other pests. And while the gray -haired coach was looking for a Spartak conspiracy and the hand of Moscow in everything, Zenit again lost both a gold race and a ticket to the Champions League. And evil bookmakers are already accepting bets on who will suck the Gazprom budget as follows.

The return of the driver

After leaving Lokomotiv, Olga Smorodskaya, a new leadership represented by President Ilya Hercus, provided Yuri Semin Semin Several attempt to enter the Cherkizov river. And the 70-year-old Palych, putting on a happy and famous hat “Cockerel”, fulfilled his tasks. He returned the fans to the stands and peace - to Bakovka, allowed the symbol of the team Dmitry Loskov to hold a farewell performance, retained Alexei Miranchuk for Loko and won the country's cup for the fifth time. In short, the master, who promised to make the “red-green” champion in six seasons, showed that there are still fresh ideas in his notes, and he was still early for fishing to Romantsev and in the Duma to Gazzaev.

Reboot "Anji"

The first serious reformatting of the Makhachkala residents in 2013 ended in collapse and departure from the Premier League. It seemed that the powerful reform number two (in December, Suleiman Kerimov completely self -confused, and the reins of government went to Osman Kadiev, who dissolved a dozen foreign warriors and formulated a new philosophy: to rely on young Russians) would end in a similar way. Is it a joke: the spring part of the championship began a completely different team (24 people replenished the composition). However, the bold coach Alexander Grigoryan, known, first of all, in working with female groups, made a solid team from recruits with the necessary citizenship and retained a residence permit in the elite. Has the Shapito show left Dagestan forever?

Honest "Tom"

To the question “How many games do the Siberians blow in the spring? »Many involved in the Russian championship responded briefly:" All. " However, the Siberian Club, who signed the financial disaster, who signed the voluntary players in winter, shame the skeptics, claiming that Tomskichi prepared for the FNL, figuratively expressing themselves, will help all the needles in need of glasses without any problems. But Valery Petrakov and his boys, although they lost 10 out of 13 matches, did not act in any duel through their sleeves, even giving the fight to Spartak for the “opening of the arena”. And there is only one thing in this situation: the lovers who loved football drowned with their heads raised, have already noted the notorious agents ...

Golden Carrera "Spartak"

“Fedun, sell Spartak, this call of the fans of the“ red and white ”became a meme. But Leonid Arnoldovich did not even lead his ear after the departure of Muscovites from Aek in the Europa League and, contrary to logic and common sense, approved the head of Dmitry Alenichev before the season with the third assistant before the season. And - hit the point. Because the gastropher with Apennin phenomenally refuel the club with combat and tactical Italian fuel, forcing even Oleg Romantsev to agree that the game with a score of 1: 0 (with this result “Spartak” won 11 times) is passionate and attractive. And now fans are asking the owner to conclude with Massimo Carrera, who, after 16 years, led the team to the championship, an unlimited contract. Such is the villagers ...

"Pierpit" refereeing

In the second part of the championship, there was actually not a single team that did not suffer from the left trill of people with whistles and spaces with foam, which in each round “cleverly” influenced the course of fights. Hoops from offside, linden penalties and removal and other “pranks”-all this was given to the mountain suffering from astigmatism and the lack of conscience, it is not clear to whom the obedient servants of Themis. True, according to Vitaly Mutko, the theme of refereeing in domestic football is inflated by media representatives: “It seems to me that we exaggerate the role of the referee. You, journalists, need to write about the game, talk about the successes of the guys ... ". Really. After all, our arbitrators who have not been serving the world and European championships have not been successful for a long time.
