This season, RPL Rostov is one of the two teams that have not suffered any defeats. In the cup, Valery Karpin’s team beat Dynamo with confidence, and in the championship they lost points where they deserved to win, but in the end they got five wins and four draws.
The second team that didn’t suffer a single defeat is, as you can guess, Zenit. The Petersburgers sit in first place with 23 points, while Rostov closes the top three with 19.
Back in the summer, the captain of “Rostov” Danil Glebov admitted that the team better perceives Karpin’s ideas, and when other specialists tried to put on different football, they logically failed.
It is impossible to say that “Rostov” completely lost all the leaders. Karpin first selects players who suit him stylistically, and in the offseason he managed to get Nikolai Komlichenko. And the arrival of Daniil Utkin, who shone at Akhmat a year ago, has become a powerful increase in attacking potential. If in Grozny the midfielder scored more, then in Rostov he actively took assists. A group of Utkin with Komlichenko is one of the most formidable in the league.
Utkin already has three goals and four assists this season, Komlichenko has five goals and one effective assist, and there is also Dmitry Poloz, who completes the duo perfectly and has also scored five goals. This trinity and Daniil Glebov are the key players from which the game is built.
Everyone has already done a great job. Including thanks to the high performances of the above players, Rostov has already faced Spartak, and the four independently built all the goals against the opponent, on a par with CSKA, Dynamo and Lokomotiv, although with the last two rivals he could have won.
Of course, the main exam for “Rostov” will take place on October 1. On that day, Karpin will play against Zenit. Chances are that at this point both teams will keep 0 in the loss chart and add some intrigue.
In the meantime, we should take advantage of this “Rostov”. They are rightfully considered one of the best teams and deservedly place in the top three and claim medals.
