The well-known commentator Gennady Orlov, in an interview with SE, named the four strongest defenders of the RPL.
— Defense. I read an interview with Valery Gazzaev for your publication. He called the best right-back Spartak Daniil Denisov. Well, this is the opinion of a respected specialist who won the UEFA Cup. But I still have my own candidate – perhaps not too obvious. This is Glenn Bale from Wings. trained defender. I will put him above both Denisov and Karavaev. The Dutchman is sharp, technical with a good vision of the field. Of course, he is far from ideal, but still, in my opinion, he is stronger than the Russians in this position.
Defense Center. Many predicted a great future for Diveev. But now he is playing insecurely. Yes, you can attribute this to a serious injury, but the fact remains: Igor is wrong. Lost sharpness … I can not include it in my list. In general, it is tight with defenders in the RPL. I, perhaps, will stop my choice, firstly, on Osipenko from Rostov. Maxim stands out once morest the general background, although he is not without sin. By and large, not a fast defender either. There is no jerk. Is it possible to compare him with Chorluka, Lovren, Ivanovich? If there is not enough sharpness, you can play by choosing the right position. This is what distinguished the legionnaires whom I have listed to you. Osipenko, of course, is inferior to them in this component. And he cannot lead the defense like these three.
For this very reason, I do not include George Jikia in my list. He has been playing for Spartak for a long time, some experts consider him the leading central defender of the country. But I do not think so. I can’t call Jikia the leader of the red-whites. According to the game, he does not correspond to this status. Well, he is not a pillar of defense, not reliable … And his forward campaigns often become a gamble. Last season, many praised the duo in the defense of Jikia – Zhigo. But “Spartak” actually became the tenth … With all due respect to Jikia, he does not even get into my top three.
Who will keep Osipenko company? Rosha from CSKA. With the right energy. He is good in the selection, and helps ahead. The Brazilian scored three field goals. The asset of the same Osipenko has six goals, but four from the penalty spot. The first substitute in my team will be Kirill Gotsuk from Nizhny Novgorod. What charisma he has! How he keeps the defense, how he spurs his partners. The real captain. And yes, it’s useful.
I have no doubts regarding the left-back. Douglas Santos, Orlov told SE.
