Victor Onopko

The Russian defender, which is customary to laugh at, looks almost the most irreplaceable today. Yuri's ability to play in the air and intransigence in martial arts will be in demand at the championship fully.

The captain of the national team and player of the second Spanish division was extremely surprised: over the past season, he was removed four times from the field. But this did not at all shake the faith in him of Oleg Romantsev. For matches with Belgium and Japan, the Russian national team most likely requires another fourth defender. Apparently, they will become Nikiforov - and then their ligament with Ononko, which went the second de sessile of the years, will be one of the most played on a self -native. So be comforted at least with this.

This tournament and all of us are vital. And not only in order to turn on the TV, to shout into the television screen to the lanky striker: “Well, come on, come on!”, And if he will not “give it” - to scold him tightly. We need it as a landmark on radar. Sailing a ship of Russian football or drowning? Or maybe just drift? For the first time in eight years, we will have the opportunity to talk about it with some certainty.
