The RPL gold race is a small-town fuss. Its price is zero victories in European competitions and 0: 5 in Belgrade

Does anyone believe that things will change after the winter break in 2021?

But someone, even with a mature mind and a sober memory, may consider what is happening now in our championship as an interesting and intriguing show. Now one club is in the lead, then the second, then the third. And as if in some decent series, how the matter will end is unknown.

That “Zenith” premiered – and many hastened to crown him for the third time (personally, I do not refuse my forecast – “Zenith” still has more chances for gold). Then “Spartak” gave the series, breaking out into the sole leaders. Now CSKA is ahead of all – the champion of the first round.

Life at the top of the table is seething, boiling, in full swing. But what is the real cost of this movement? According to the Hamburg (more precisely, Belgrade) score – zero victories in 12 European Cup matches and 0: 5 from the Serbs in the decisive match of the League of Nations. Here it is – the only objective assessment of all our football now. After that, you need to treat the so-called golden RPL race accordingly. How to look in a crooked mirror. Where should not the victories of the leaders in Volgograd and Saransk be reflected, but Brugge, Sevilla, Feyenoord …

Stop deluding yourself: what kind of championship is such a team. Forgive them, Yuri Valentinovich

In the elite League of Nations, we have nothing to do. And it’s scary for the Euro.

What is the FIGHT for gold? What are you talking about? No more than a small-town fuss. A feast during the European Cup plague. Moreover, with a very peculiar idea of ​​leadership, which looks not so much a merit as a consequence of the mistakes of competitors. And this leadership lasts a couple of weeks at most. What is there to be happy about? What intrigue?

Take the last round – none of the top three could win. Although they did not play against each other. They say that the matches of the national teams, after which the tour took place, are to blame. Well, of course. And also the coronavirus, the price of oil, the Morgenstern tracks and the power of the reptilians.

Where is stability, quality, progress? At this rate, and “Dynamo” can compete for gold. Which just recently failed in Europe with such a crash that it seemed that it would not rise for a long time. And now it is considered almost the most playing team in the league. And “Rostov”, which sold half of the team and also disgraced itself in LE, but already the fifth. Because others are even worse. And there, you see, Lokomotiv and Krasnodar will catch up. And even “Rotor” with “Ufa”.

In cycling, this is called surprise. The ability to maintain balance in the absence of movement in order to force the opponent to move forward, and to take a winning position behind him. But there it is a whole science – a well-thought-out strategy. Here – the crush is not from a good life. After all, how is it commonly believed? The one who made fewer mistakes, who has fewer losses in matches with less-class teams, is the champion. Sometimes it seems that in our football the opposite is true. Everything is by contradiction. The one who blunders more will become the champion. And where they need to take their own, they now give way to each other “in the absence of movement.” “Only after you” – “No, first you …”. Ugh you, surprise for the poor.

Turn off club sympathies (read – life according to the principle “if only my favorite team is at the top, and how will it end up there and what happens to all the rest of our football – DO NOT CARE”) and admit the obvious – RPL leaders as a whole do not become stronger, but amicably turn into middle peasants. And what we get from their “competition” is not progress, but vanity on a pedestal, useless in serious European affairs. And our champion is not Best of the Best, but the strongest of the weak. Do you feel the difference?

No, hegemony is also not good. But at least one can find an excuse for her – successes in Europe, like in the same “Bavaria”. We have neither a hegemon who would drag the entire locomotive with a steam locomotive, nor success.

Lokomotiv could have stopped Bayern. Or would that be overkill?

Anton Miranchuk seems to be going to the Bundesliga.

Now there is more and more talk about what needs to be endured, to survive this terrible coronavirus year with its unbearable, inhuman schedule. Another month, another 4 rounds – and that’s it, a long-awaited rest.

And what’s next? Except for the schedule, will anything change? Well, honestly, does anyone believe that?

As comrade Bunsha said: “I am tormented by vague doubts.” In the era of questionable tests, our championship is one continuous doubt.

PS Already this week in European competition I will be glad to be cruelly mistaken in my conclusions.
