Two play, the rest in the mind

Spartak and Zenit want to turn the Russian championship into the championship of farm clubs

They just finished the old season, but we must start a new one. Such a force majeure, and no one-except coronavirus is to blame. However, without it scandals at the finish, and along the way, was enough. Because scandals are an indispensable component of football around the world, but Russian specifics are especially interesting and entertaining. In most cases, it is useless to look for logic, but you can and should be sought and necessary, because in these interests the most important thing is in these interests.

In order to be in sight in the Russian championship, not to mention to win, it is not enough to have a set of purely professional qualities, such as: a stable high -quality game, an explanatory leadership, initiative and creative coaching staff, a balance of stars and hard workers, a long bench, and normal financing.

All this is good, but just in case, sometimes administrative levers should be included and use tricks for which no one will punish.

Someone may be punished, but not those who can use these tricks.

Well, Zenit won the previous championship with an agricultural margin - and who will throw a stone into it? He is neither hot nor cold from the nit -picking, he is above them. Well, they reproached him for the fact that the leader essentially has two farm clubs playing with him in the same league, and so what? Where, the poor, to put the breakdown of the players unnecessary at this time? At least half of the foundations of the Sochi football club was made up of the players from the Northern capital, and everyone was fine - the future champion was enough for the victory of the players, and “Sochi”, not without the help of shame on Fishta, when the team of men defeated the team of Rostov youths, remained in the RPL.

True, the second Gazprom's ward in the person of Orenburg flew out of the Russian Premier League, but here Zenit did not lose-now it will be less reproached for such things. Just a day before the start of the championship in the RPL regulation, amendments were amended, and now there will be no more than two players to rent in one club.

In the amendments, the whole thing is, and here the first to the distribution is no longer “Zenit”, but “Spartak”. Having seen enough of the champion, the leadership of the red and white decided that they were no worse. And that it would also be nice for them to have a couple of hidden farm clubs.

And so everything successfully developed that Ufa, who delegated to Moscow, the new General Director of Spartak Shamil Gazizov, and even more so that they still decided to play the RPL “Khimki” to such guardianship were only happy. In Khimki, they urgently resigned the head coach Sergei Yuran, with whom they left the RPL, and Dmitry Gunko came to his place from Spartak. Gunko had to follow Artem Timofeev, Georgy Melkadze, Alexander Lomovitsky and three or four more unnecessary red-white at that moment a football player.

And everything would be in order - why is it possible to “Zenit”, but “Spartak” cannot have a couple of deduced teams? You look and help on occasion.

I am not saying that the sponsor points are guaranteed, but the ground for suspicions of such a situation is well large.

What smells of, competitors quickly understood, and immediately rushed into a counterattack. The initiative, it seems, came from the leadership of Krasnodar, which categorically did not suit such a turn of events. But the club of Sergei Galitsky was not alone, and the proposal to limit the number of those given to one club in another during the season by two players was adopted by the General Assembly of RPL clubs with a bang.

Except for five clubs. As one might guess, “Spartak”, “Zenit”, “Ufa”, “Sochi” and “Khimki” voted against. That is, all those who were or want to be involved in the scheme not illegal, but with a bad train. The fact that in one team were such different heavyweights as Alexander Medvedev and Leonid Fedun, and in general “Zenit” and “Spartak” speaks for itself. Naturally, the new general director gave an angry rebuke to all lovers to look for fried where, in his opinion, it does not smell: it is necessary to play, do a job, and not engage in conspiracyology. True, this renegy has ears, whatever you say, stick out.

Of course, rent - with the current state of football affairs - the thing is inevitable, and even necessary. But, on the other hand, and who prevents not to fill their “car” beyond measure, and then suffer from a problem, unloading, and, secondly, with a chokh to strengthen one team that will not take your glasses, but can annoy competitors?

For this, “chokh” 11 clubs and were offended. And on the evening of Friday, literally a day before the start of the championship, the regulations changed the regulations.

A good start to the championship. Combat. Familiar.

Chapter "Ca-Futal Agency"

-I have already ceased to be surprised at the strange decisions made at once, in a narrow circle, without any discussion of the football community. And what laws, such an attitude towards them. If you think that you will cross out the practice of mass rents with this normative act, you are mistaken.

There is always a way to circumvent the law if it is not profitable or simply absurd.

Allegedly, the transfer for the ruble will be designed, and the transfer contract will remain in the owner of the owner - they will draw up a hidden lease, more shadow agreements will become more. Apparently, this is achieved.

If we seriously consider this decision, then in a good way, I wait for someone to appeal to the sports arbitration court in order to evaluate the legal lawfulness of this law. Because the rental of football players has long established itself with an effective and useful tool for all parties.

It is profitable for clubs: you can unload the salary statement, reduce the tax burden, while leaving the right to a promising player for himself. While a football player, for one reason or another, devoid of game practice in his club, rental can be at the same high level, progress and develop. For agents, the game practice of the ward is also a plus, which also provides an increase in its transfer value. And for the club that rents a player, this may be the only way to adequately perform without spending crazy money that is not. “Tambov” survived that season at the expense of Melkadze and other leased players, but how did Kokorin dragged “Sochi”?!

Covering this dubious solution, we are told about countering the creation of farm clubs in the system of one championship. Again, why did they take care of this only now?

Where did you look when Zenit played with the Gazprom Orenburg, with the same Sochi?

And now, when Spartak went along the same path, for some reason it was very hooked by everyone, someone apparently saw in the form of mythical, so far, “12 points” from “Ufa” and “Himmik”. It’s no better in the FNL - there, there was half a hundred from the “Chertanovo” to the “Wings of the Soviets”, what are they silent about them? Maybe something is also being started? In such cases, I laugh: on a thief and a hat is on.

Until we see the full-time games of these farm clubs, you can suspect anything. But they also said about Evseev in Ufa that he would bring glasses on the dish on the Seminsky Lokomotiv, and he did not deprive them of the champions league, became almost the most uncomfortable opponent. Juran could have become the same for Spartak, he would never have agreed to give amazer. And what we will see - we will judge by that.

I hope that at least 11 players will play and at least with a ball.
