Zenit fans protest at signing of black player Malcom with shocking racist banner WTF why this ****ing Sun published this statement attaching the photos without banners as a racism proof? LOL No racism for Malcom at all and 50 000 people's applause when he arrived at the pitch I do really hate Zenit but in this situation they are absolutely right and The Sun are kinda dumbs Actually there's no racism in Russia just because no one color lived there till 70th and white people didn't mock them in the middle ages like Europeans did BTW, Russian Premier League started few weeks ago. For now the table is:
7 matchday is over Just have a little look at table 5 (!!!) teams have the equals points + 2 are in 1 point below So the difference between 1st and 7th is... 1 point! I've never seen smth like that I love you RPL haha BTW, Lokomotiv Moscow is so close to sign Joao Mario from Inter. 1-year loan with a buy option for 18kk euros
Hey Artem. I enjoy the updates. Whatever happened to Anzhi? I know they were considered 'plastic' by many Russian fans. Is it still quite dangerous in Dagestan?
As Russian League is one of those (such a little amount of bif european leagues who hasn't suspected their matched yet!) who keep on playing, i suppose you to take a look on our football Standing at the moment (let's study russian letters, mate):
Hey, As you all know, russian football is banned these days so no one knows when our clubs will opposite to european ones. But let share my boundless happiness with you. Two days ago my favourite club Fakel (Voronezh) promoted to Russian Premier League! Last time we played in Premier League in 2001. We have waited this moment for 21 year and we deserved it. Do you remember Nemanja Pejčinović who played in Hertha, Nice and Lokomotiv? So, he plays in Fakel since October 2020. We also have so many bright personalities in our roster. So if you would be interested, i can start a big diary to acquaint you what Fakel is, why fans in Voronezh are one of tops of Russian supporting and what we will meet on our way in the first season after returning to Premier League (smth like Football Manager careers diary) At the video you can see fans emotions before&after referee's final whistle P.S. Irish journalist Alan Moore made a little reportage abut my club in April. You can find video using the link (eng + rus) In Fakel we trust!
So may be it's time to continue I'd start with summer-2019 when Roman Askhabadze (worked in Spartak Moscow earlier) came in Fakel as CIO. The club was absolutely destroyed: in 3 weeks before the first match day we had only 3 playes with contracts. So Roman manage to build a great club in three years The end of last season was really happy, because before the last match day the table looked like (two first are promoting and the third is in play-off): 1. Torpedo - 74 2. Orenburg - 73 3. Fakel - 71 We hoped on Orenburg to blunder (draw or lose) and they did it: 1:1 with Volgar and Fakel winning Baltika 1:0 promoting to Russian Premier League Last season Fakel played in 3-4-1-2 where laterals moved within the whole wing Our typical squad looked like: Let's started with few word about every single player: Alexei Gorodovoy - came this January from Rubin Kazan instead of Ilya Svinov (was sold in Spartak Moscow but came back on loan). Alexei is soooo brave keeper: reliable, confident and made so many importnat save. For instance he kept us when Baltika had one-to-one in 75' Danis Fayzullin - young guy from Lokomotiv who was on loan and moved away. Good guy who dribbled Joško Gvardiol in UEFA Youth League few years ago Sergey Bryzgalov - brave defender. You ma remember him playing in Spartak Moscow in Champions League. He hadidn't play a lot in Spartak because of injures and finally was signed with Fakel Nemanja Pejčinović - no words. i guess, we needed. Maestro. But he leaved the club for free Vasiliy Cherov - i guess Fakel will sell him in 1-2 years for few millions because he is fast a lot fot a central def and reliable (and he is just 26). He is also Euro-2013 U17 winner Ruslan Magal - our local footballer from Voronezh. He has a few hearts to surf the touchline from the whole 90 minutes. He's 31 so not sure if any big clubs are going to buy him but he's one of the leader in this team Andrey Mendel - tough box-to-box to tackle the ball and start out attack. Few clubs are interested in him Oleg Dmitriev - trequartista. Wasn't so bright last season but he has already played 3 year in our clubs and deserved to play in RPL. Hope he will do extremely the best this season Roman Akbashev - playmaker. His nationality is tartar and the surname translates as "bright head" (or clever head). Fully meets this because of his passes. Grea. By the way, his goal in the last match was the goal - we promoted Khyzyr Appayev - the hardest worker of out team. He clings to every ball from goalkeeper and likes to move to the left flank. Has a lot of assists and goals. The one who wears the piano And who plays the pianooo is... Maxim Maximov - our local player. The best scorer of the last season (22 goals in 2636 minutes). Surely trust on him to keep on scoring this season And surely our coach, Oleg Vasilenko, who was fired in September 2020 when Fakel was in relegation place and moved him up to RPL. One of the smartest coaches in Russia. Was an assistant of Guus Hiddink in Anji and worked in many clubs. The Master That it for now. The next chapter will describe summer transfers, our season schedule and the aims to meet this season
Hey! Wish us luck. Today is our 1st RPL matchday since Nov 8, 2001 (7556 days ago!) Away match against Krasnodar FC. Surely we are not the one betters would prefer but 100% our guys are going to do their best to make a draw at least
BTW, they've done it! 2:2 and so many opportunities to get 3 points were bottled 1500 guest fans made their tour in 1000 km from Voronezh to Krasnodar The next match in Chechnya vs Akhmat. Not so many chances to get even a draw, to be honest. But the hope will never die
That's happened! After 1:2 lose in Grozny vs Akhmat Fakel played their first home match in RPL against Dynamo Fantastic Saturday! Voronezh went absolutely crazy about football and amazing match where Fakel came back twice and made 3:3 These days Voronezh is the football capital of Russia Coming match is against CSKA on Saturday in Moscow. Don't actually sure we can get even draw but who know. These guys are able to surprise By the way, that was the last match ultras attended because of anti-human "FAN ID" law when you have to get a special permission to attend matches. Surely it was integrated by government to destroy any opposition in russian football society. All russian clubs' ultras have joined boycott till this law will be canceled
