Athletistic / Football. The authoritative Spanish sports publication Marca evaluated the performance of Russian Real Sociedad midfielder Arsen Zakharyan in the match of the 30th round of La Liga against Alavés (1:0). During this meeting, the 20-year-old Russian became the author of the decisive pass.
“Zakharyan has taken the place of the injured Bryce Mendes in the Sociedad lineup. Arsene is now in his preferred position and in his preferred role.
It seems that in the meeting with Alaves we witnessed the best performance of the Russian since his arrival in San Sebastian. Zakharian had four assists during the match, more than anyone else in this meeting. He twice brought Oyarzabal one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper and several times took dangerous corners, from which Pacheco finally scored.
The Russian is definitely the main character of the meeting. He has become a man who shows the football he brought from Russia,” the Marca article reads.
Arsen Zakharyan has currently played 21 La Liga matches, scoring one goal and providing two assists. Real Sociedad have scored 49 points in 30 matches and are now in sixth place in the domestic championship standings.
Note that Zakharyan was called up to the Russian national team for the national team’s March training camp. Arsen came on as a substitute in a friendly match against Serbia (4:0) and scored an assist.
