the Russian league. The concept
by Borja Pardo
The Russian league is a special league, it is certainly different from other European leagues, a tournament that has historically been undervalued and that The past decade has claimed thanks to the progressive arrival of international superstars, young talents emerging national and essentially due to the excellent holdings of European clubs such as CSKA Moscow (UEFA champions in 2005), Zenit (Champion UEFA and European Super Cup in 2008) or Rubin Kazan (Russian champion capable of surprising to Barca in the Nou Camp an October 20, 2009), omitting the important role of Russia in the Euro 2008 final.

This has led to an "end-call" and has caused fans and clubs the rich and comfortable Europe turn their heads towards the east for the inheritance of a Soviet football, which once was the largest in Europe, down to hell and back is active throughout the international football scene.
reformat the Russian league in this edition homogenized with the rest of Europe. I refer to words of fellow "The Hook" to explain a little the context of this season in the Russian Premier League.
" Cold, a calendar with a different rhythm and a certain fear of a championship away were three of the problems that many players recoiled at the idea of \u200b\u200bemigrating to Russia . But this year things have changed. Russian Football Federation (RFS) decided in September that the Russian Premier League (which begins tomorrow) should be synchronized with the Western calendar to improve their potential in many areas. The new course schedule league consists of 30 days (as usual) in which the board will be divided among the eight first and the last eight.
Already in the spring of 2012, and with the same format and back, it's time to decide on different goals. The first eight of the championship will be at stake, the three Champions League places and two in Europe League (which together the Russian Cup champion will represent Europe in the 2012/2013 season). At the other end of the ninth to sixteenth in the regular season have the hot potato to avoid being one of the last two (straight down) or the third last and fourth from bottom (you have to go through a playoff promotion of against the third and fourth in the Primera Division.)
Thus, in August 2012, Russian football is ticking and with other leagues in Europe. Apart from the aspect of schedule, leading to 16 teams of the Russian Premier League to play 44 shocks (plus two more for those who promote) this season, which begins tomorrow with the Anzhi -FC Krasnodar will accumulate a higher star rating than any previous event. In a championship in constant growth, the money from the oligarchs and billionaires are being used to give a cache than the Russian Premier League and to persuade couples tournament stars to join the Eastern Europe. The choice of the 2018 World has been another boost to enlarge your status. "
To encourage a better understanding of this exciting competition I leave an audio guide for about two hours to analyze in detail the overall context of the Russian championship, their equipment and of its key figures.

left four notes on favorites to win the title.
ZENIT
The Russian champions as a major part to defend the title favorite this season since it has a great coach like Luciano Spalletti, and essentially because the Italian has the best template throughout the Russian championship.
If we add to that power and strength of the people of Gazprom, the team sponsor and patron of St. Petersburg does not seem at all unreasonable to say that beginning at least partly as the man to beat .
Malafeev be in arcs (if you recover from the blow he suffered a week ago when he lost his wife in a car accident), Anyukov in the right lane of the rear, the Lusitanian Bruno Alves Fernando Meira in the central pair (rotating with Belgian Lombaerts), Serbian Lukovic at left-back.
Shirokov Russian internationals and endure Semak defensively and give balance to the team in midfield, Zyryanov puts quality and the standard, Danny Luso magic (previous championship MVP) and Aleksandr Kerzhakov up the myth will make the goals for the help of Lazovic, Ionov, Bukharov.
Without doubt, the best squad in Russia and favorites to win the title, especially after his surprising KO par with European unfair to the Twente to be cataloged as disappointing, just as it was his KO at Auxerre at the end of August that deprived him of participating in this edition of the Champions League and "banished" to the Europa League.
CSKA MOSCOW
Moscow Team historically linked to the Soviet Army first (and later Russian) is undoubtedly the main rival of Zenit. Its staff is 100% competitive with top players.
finished second last year after St. Petersburg. This year they want the Russian scepter return to the capital of the country after four years of drought (Zenit, 2007, Kazan Rubin 2008, Rubin Kazan, 2009, Zenit 2010).
have a good goalkeeper Akinfeev, a hoary but experienced something behind Sergey Ignashevich where is the love of gourd Berezutsky supported by the twins. In midfield Semberas, Aldonin and Mamaev (the Gattuso Russian ") make the struggle, Keisuke Honda and Alan Dzagoev Trequartista and the magic of Mark Gonzalez and Zoran Tosic speed.
At the forefront, Dr. Love, Vagner Love," the Ivorian Seydou Doumbia and promising young Czech Tomas Necid giant put the goals.
The main problem may be the limiting concepts of the coach, Leonid Slutsky, who left in Krylya Sovetov day after the cessation of Juande Ramos and I personally think the team comes a little bigger.
policy probably would do well to leave the team in the hands of a crack football man and stripes as Viktor Onopka (now coach of the team).
RUBIN KAZAN
Rubin Kazan (surprising and meritorious Russian champions in 2008 and 2009) has been lost in the last two seasons with a high level people like Chori Domínguez (Valencia CF), Semak (Zenit), Bukharov (Zenit) or the famous Savo Milosevic and Sergey Rebrov (now retired) who were key to lift the first league in the history of tartar together in 2008.
are low sensitive, essentially those of Semak (key man in midfield and the "9" Bukharov), but the strong man of the team remains in Kazan and the man saw no short-key shoes or boots tacos. This is the strategist Turkmen Kurban Berdyev strongman plus club coach, vice president and a key part in making decisions and transfers of all of Kazan. This, rosary in hand. A remarkable kind, for his work and his slogan "the collective before the individual is always" applied in the field with skill and precision.
Ryzhikov in Bocchetti central door and ensure stability and Cesar Navas ago. The Ecuadorian Noboa, Turkish Karadeniz Gökdeniz and "Crazy Horse" Alan Kasaev should be the team's big men, waiting to see how it works Dyadyun as "9" system.
The question remains see if Carlos Eduardo will adapt to the competition and if he leaves his repeated injuries that threaten to cut off what seemed a brilliant career. Brazil's performance may depend on the choices of Tartar this season.
Spartak Moscow
Spartak Moscow coached by Valery Karpin part a priori at a disadvantage in relation to its three main rivals for the championship. Although its staff is competent and offers interesting variations seems rather short compared to those of Zenit and CSKA, and the truth is that the Muscovites (the people's team) has no defensive solidity and the capacity of dedication and sacrifice Berdyev Rubin Kazan.
Karpin those are class players, two of them are without doubt among the five best players in the tournament such as the Brazilian Alex (ex Internacional de Porto Alegre), great playmaker quality and excellent hitting, and striker Welliton (top scorer in Russia over the past two years). His fellow Ibson (ex Porto) and Rafael Carioca will struggle in midfield.
A pair excellence of Alex-Welliton you must add the speed and quality by providing the Irish band that Aiden McGeady (ex Celtic) and Dmitri Kombarov (signed last year with her twin brother Kirill Dynamo Kiev).
Karpin If something is not afraid is that the pulse when betting on the young. Georgian Pearl Janus Ananidze and Russian Evgeni Makeev lateral well know and no doubt taking advantage.
two young and very central projection such as the Czech Marek Suchy and Argentine Marcos Red (recently signed Estudiantes de la Plata).
Spartak Template updated
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST IN THE TOURNAMENT
Beyond the big four will be interesting to see Ruud Gullit training in Chechnya Terek Grozny (after NO Last minute Victor Muñoz), doubts that will be able to offer the Anzhi Mackachkhala following the arrivals of Brazilian Roberto Carlos, Diego Tardelli, Jucilei, Joao Carlos and that last-minute icing call Mbark Boussoufa (Anderlecht). And finally it will be interesting to see that we offer Dynamo Moscow (eternal outsider candidate) with the brand new signing Bosnian Wizard Zvejdan Misimovic leaving Istanbul (Galatasaray) to share a dressing room with illustrious Voronin or Kuranyi.
* interested in continuing the evolution of myth-player Georgian Gogita Gogua fetish of many lovers of the Russian league-in newly promoted Volga Nizhny Novgorod has also secured the services of the Catalan midfielder (made in La Masia) Marc Crosas who came to the Russian call looking for the minutes that deprived him at Celtic in Glasgow.
