Spartak Moscow forward Denis Davydov, who has been playing for the Spartak-2 team in the FNL for most of this season, can change his club registration already during the summer registration period. The red and white are considering the option of sending their player on loan, but the question of selling the player is not on the table today.
According to Izvestia, the intentions of the club’s management and coaching staff to lease Davydov are related to the high competition for his position in Spartak and, as a result, the footballer’s lack of playing experience in the main red-white team.
“According to the Spartak coaching staff, headed by , Davydov is not yet ready to play in the main team,” a source in the Moscow club told Izvestia. — Denis is inferior to other attacking players and therefore takes the field more often for Spartak-2 in the FNL. However, the level of the first division is still low for him, so the red and white intend to find a club for Davydov in the Premier League and are even ready to take on most of the obligations to pay the footballer’s wages during the lease. At the same time, the leadership of Muscovites is not considering the option of selling their pupil. Last year, the red and white extended the contract with Davydov until 2020, and the club hopes that the footballer will make a name for himself at Spartak.
Now the main team of Spartak nominally has two strikers: a Brazilian, who joined the red-and-white team last winter, and a native of Cape Verde, who has gained good form this season.
It is worth noting that the need to loan Denis Davydov may no longer be necessary if he manages to prove himself worthily at Spartak-2 in the remainder of the season. Then, according to Izvestia’s source, Massimo Carrera will give the Russian striker a chance to make a name for himself in the main team.
Let us remind you that Denis Davydov is a student of Spartak. The footballer played his first game for the main team of Muscovites on September 28, 2013, entering the field in the 88th minute instead of Yura Movsisyan in the away match with Zenit in the RFPL. After Murat Yakin joined Spartak, Davydov began to regularly appear in the lineup at the end of the 2014/15 season, but was unable to open a personal scoring account.
The next coach of the red-and-whites, Dmitry Alenichev, often complained to the young striker about his lack of dedication in training. As a result, in February 2016, Davydov moved to Mlada Boleslav on a six-month loan. But due to a shoulder injury received in a youth team game, Denis never played a single match for the main team of the Czech club.
Denis Davydov started the 2016/17 season at Spartak-2. For the second team of red and white, he played 19 matches in the FNL and scored seven goals. The striker also took part in four matches of the main team in the RFPL, spending 83 minutes on the field, but never scored any goals.
The market value of Denis Davydov, according to experts, is about €600 thousand.
Agent Ivan Bakulin, representing interests Spartak forward Denis Davydov, commented on the news that the football player could leave the team. Earlier, information appeared in a number of media outlets that the red and white were going to lease Davydov.
“It’s very interesting where this information comes from! Of course, I don’t know what was in the minds of the leaders of Spartak, Massimo Carrera and so on, but the fact that before the start of the season they did not want to part with Denis is a fact. That's why we stayed.
To be honest, I don’t even know what it will look like in the summer. Maybe tomorrow they will call us and ask us to look for a new team. But at the moment, such topics have not been raised either with me or with Denis. No one called.
In fact, I think this is some kind of hoax. Logically, now is not even the time to discuss any transitions. There are 10 rounds until the end of the season, the team is fighting for first place. And discussing any transitions now is simply ridiculous,” said Bakulin.
“Russian Messi” - that’s exactly what he called the Spartak Moscow graduate, forward Denis Davydov, team owner, Vice President of the Lukoil oil company Leonid Fedun. It is unlikely that he himself came up with this biting nickname. No, we in no way doubt the talents of Leonid Arnoldovich; only the coach who defended his interests before the management, the one who saw him every day in training and games of the reserve team, could simply call the young player that way. These words were put into the mouth of the owner of the red and white club.
One way or another, now no one calls Denis Davydov anything other than “Russian Messi”. However, recently this nickname has acquired a more ironic character, because throughout his entire career in the main team, which, after all, is 29 matches in the squad, the forward, who is compared to the Argentine super-scorer, scored only one goal.
Throughout all this time, experts demanded to wait until he opened up, fans demanded to put more money in the main team... but the guy did not live up to expectations and continued to show a lackluster game in the red and white T-shirt of the main club, as if a curse had been placed on him.
Everything was supposed to change with the arrival Dmitry Alenichev, the favorite of the “Spartak” torsida. He really had to start correctly using the main wealth of Moscow “Spartak” - its graduates, who had previously scattered to other Russian clubs and became stars there.
“The red and whites have a good school, graduates play in many clubs throughout the country. I think that you need to rely on your students. They have a different motivation, a different attitude towards the emblem on their chest than the legionnaires,” - at the beginning of May 2014, these words of Dmitry Alenichev, then still the coach of the Tula Arsenal, were quoted by the website Sportbox.ru.
And what do we have now, when Alenichev headed his favorite club, which, in his opinion, should rely on its students? It is enough to analyze the rhetoric. Dmitry Anatolyevich uttered these words in February 2016, at the very height of the transfer window, when he was expected to take some action to strengthen the club, which was in an unsatisfactory position in the standings:
“The transfer can happen at any moment, there is time, right up to the very last day. High-profile transfers happen on the day of the deadline. Now the priority is a foreign forward,” Soviet Sport quotes the red-and-white coach.
And after all, the words of the coach do not diverge from the deeds: “the future of the red and white team”, “Russian Messi”, the footballer whom the fans loved so much, in whom the specialists who did not hide their sympathy for Spartak believed so much, Denis Davydov is going on loan - to the Czech Republic, to the Mlada team from the city of Boleslav. Analyzing the experience of Spartak, we can say that the players who went on loan will never become the main ones in the red and white club again. They can become the country's top scorers in some Rostov, earn a call to the national team and an invitation to the German Bundesliga and the English Premier League, playing for Zenit, receive the title of captain of the national team, playing in Krasnodar... But in “ In Spartak, such players will no longer prove themselves, of course, judging by experience. Perhaps Denis Davydov will break this stereotype. Let's see.
And it’s not only in Spartak that this happens. Many Russian clubs cannot give star young players a start in adulthood, leaving them as football underdogs, always showing promise.

In one “Spartak” there will be a whole bunch of such players. But we will try to pay attention to the most striking examples of the recent past. By the way, you don’t have to go far for the first one. As recently as the end of January 2016, a football player whom European experts vying with each other called perhaps the most promising goalkeeper on the continent left Russia. Yes, yes, we are talking specifically about the star of the European Youth Championship, won by the Russian team, whose captain was Anton Mitryushkin. Later, he amazed everyone at the Youth World Championships, where he was the best in our team, managing to save us from defeat by Brazil. But the talented footballer could not find a place in the Spartak goal. They are protected by fighting off criticism flying from all sides, Artyom Rebrov. As a result, Mitryushkin could not stand it and left. They didn’t let him go to another Russian club. I had to go to Sion, Switzerland. The leaders of Spartak answered all questions about him by saying that he was still young. Although the current number one of the Russian national team, the CSKA star Igor Akinfeev, stood up for the red-blues at the age of 17. But back then they didn’t give him the same advances as Mitryushkin.

There is another example of a wasteful attitude towards personnel in the current Spartak, playmaker Jano Ananidze. This Georgian football player is still with the club. Having gone on loan to Rostov, he showed that he is an excellent player at the level of not the weakest team in the Russian Premier League. At the same time, as part of the southerners, he shone precisely in conjunction with another Spartak player, Artyom Dzyuba. But instead of taking and using a ready-made tandem in their team, the red and white club kicked out Dziuba, sending their current leader to Zenit. Dzhano, apparently, is destined to sit on the bench and in the reserve team until the end of his contract. The main complaint against the young player is that he thought too much of himself, considering himself worthy of playing in the first team. Moreover, Jano had a conflict with the previous coach, but Dmitry Alenichev continues to marinate talent “in a jar.”

Pavel Yakovlev

There is such an award in Russia - “First Five”, it is awarded to the best young football player of the year. In 2010, it went to the attacking left midfielder of Spartak Moscow Pavel Yakovlev. This fast player with an excellent cross showed himself superbly as a substitute for the red and white club. But the competition for a place on the field did not allow him to become the main player. As a result, it was decided to loan the footballer to Krylya Sovetov Samara. There the footballer began to play even better, so that the next season Spartak decided to keep him. After sitting on the bench for a year, he went on loan again, to the same wings, then to Mordovia. In between loan spells, Pavel played for the second team of Spartak. Not long ago he was again sent to Krylya Sovetov, again on loan. But now he is already 24 years old, and no one has any special hopes for the football player.

Naturally, such mistakes occur not only at Spartak. The same award, “First Five”, was received in 2013 by the promising striker of the capital CSKA Konstantin Bazelyuk. Perhaps it was this recognition of his talent that let Konstantin down. Soon, coaches began to notice the young player’s lack of desire to work in training sessions. CSKA Mentor Leonid Slutsky, constantly experiencing problems with the squad, especially in the position of central striker, tried to integrate the youth team's scorer into his scheme - it did not work. As a result, I had to lease it out, first to Torpedo and then to SKA-Energia. Judging by the matches played in these clubs, Konstantin cannot yet count on getting into the CSKA team, much less the national team.
Taras Burlak

How happy Russian football fans were when they learned that a young and very promising central defender named Taras Burlak was growing up at Lokomotiv Moscow. Tall, powerful, quite fast, he inspired hope not only in the fans of the red-green club, but also in all Russian football fans. They have already begun to recruit him into the national team to replace the eternal Sergei Ignashevich, who has no one to replace. However, Burlak’s successful season gave way to an unsuccessful one, and he was put on Lokomotiv’s reserves for a long time. Taras was no longer able to get out of there. He quickly found himself on loan at Volga Nizhny Novgorod. Then Taras moved to Rubin, where he did not find a common language with the head coach and was exiled to the reserve team. Today Burlak whiles away his days playing for Krylia Sovetov, one of the outsiders of the national championship.
Anton Shunin

In second place after the Moscow “Spartak”, of course, in terms of the number of lost talents is the capital’s “Dynamo”. It is now Andrey Kobelev returned and began giving playing time to young football players, betting on them, and not on expensive foreign players. How this approach was not enough for goalkeeper Anton Shunin at one time. After a successful season at Dynamo, they began to call him almost the second Yashin. But the white stripe gave way to black. After several mistakes, Anton lost his place in the starting lineup. Then he was bought into the team Vladimir Gabulov, which finally put an end to perhaps the most talented goalkeeper in the country of the last two to three decades, not counting, of course, Mitryushkin.
Ivan Solovyov

But for the failures of the talented midfielder Ivan Solovyov, also a Dynamo graduate, the football player can only blame himself. Having proven himself at the end of one of the seasons, he felt so important that he began to demand from the club contract terms at the level of the team's leading stars. This midfielder was denied. Unfortunately, his current agreement with the cube was coming to an end. As luck would have it, an offer was received from Zenit, who assured that due to the strengthening of the limit on foreign players, Solovyov would play in St. Petersburg in the first team with enviable regularity. The player was flattered by the offer, which was tempting, of course, from a financial point of view, and signed the contract. Since then, from 2013 to the present, Ivan has played for Zenit only once...
ANTON MIRANCHUK IS A GOOD EXAMPLE TO imitation
- Why did Davydov go on loan to Spartak Jurmala?
In principle, there were options in Russia. Jurmala is the champion of Latvia and plays in European competitions. Nowadays everyone can play football. I don't see anything strange in this rental. He just needed a change of scenery. As they say, a reboot was needed. Denis has good data, he just needs to prove his worth every day.
- Did Davydov himself immediately agree to move to Latvia?
In any case, the last word always belongs to the player. Nobody forced him there. Once I went, that means I decided so.
- How did Spartak Moscow react to this decision? Didn't Massimo Carrera dissuade you?
Such transfers are not made without the consent of the club. Everyone was aware. Denis needs to play. He just started quite early - at the age of 17, then there was some decline. Now some kind of reboot is required. That's all.
- What do you personally attribute his decline in career to? After all, just recently it seemed that he would make it to the base. And last season he scored only two goals in the FNL...
Hard to tell. Only stars can play at the same high level. The rest are subject to recessions. A person becomes a little older, digs into himself, figures it out, and then returns to his previous level. I think his best matches are ahead of him.
- Are there any fears that after the Latvian Championship, Davydov may not be of interest to other clubs on the football market?
We have a lot of footballers, but not enough players. I don't see a problem here. Maybe he will leave Latvia for Europe altogether. How can you make a wish now? In any case, no one wants to harm him. Nobody sent him to Latvia to make him feel worse. Don't forget that the team is coached by Alexander Grishin, who works great with youth, performed with young men CSKA in the Champions League. He is interested in services Davydova. I think working together will bear fruit.
- So you're not taking risks?
IN EUROPE IT WILL BE EASIER FOR GOLOVIN THAN ARSHAVIN
- Golovin Now it’s just in the juice. It is not for nothing that he does the largest amount of work in the team, one of the team leaders. From the outside it seems that, for example, it looks brighter. But the rough amount of work, the movement, the “brains” of the team - that’s all Golovin. He is the battery of this team. So far it looks absolutely brilliant!
- The Italian media write that Juventus is offering 20 million for him, but is asking for 25. Is the bargaining appropriate?
I think yes. In general, a player is worth as much as they pay for him. Basically Golovin By all accounts it looks very cool now. I think serious clubs have been doing this for a long time. Do you know what catches your eye?
- What?
- Golovin plays mature football beyond his years. For him there are no authorities at all on the field. At one time he was like this Dmitry Khlestov- It didn’t matter to him who he went against. And some were told that they would have to play against Maradona, and they simply "burned out". Here at Golovin very high threshold of psychological stability. Besides, he played in the Champions League and scored" Lyon" And " Arsenal"in the Europa League.
- Could Golovin become our new Arshavin in the future?
They are slightly different in style. In the 21st century, he is generally one of our best football players, more technical and elegant. Golovin- another. It seems to me that it will be easier for him in Europe than Arshavin.
- Why?
It is more powerful, larger, more durable. Physically stronger than Andrey. This is clear.
