Why Kerzhakov – the best Russian forward right now – Soviet Sport

Michael Borzykin explains why at the moment in Russia there is no striker better Alexander Kerzhakov.

While you discuss the German Bundesliga where the “Bavaria” sensationally lost to “Mainz” (1: 2), and try to get rid of the aftertaste of the quarterfinals of the Russian Cup, Russian team is maturing revolution. 33-year-old Alexander Kerzhakov, long ago written off, in fact exiled and somebody even derided, may displace from the Artyom Dzyuba and Aleksandr Kokorin. And do not say that it would be unfair. The main indicator of the forward – goals and Kerzhakov scored three goals in five held in the Swiss official matches.

On Wednesday evening in the semi-final match of the Swiss Cup Kerzhakov put two goals in the gate, “Sion”. In the first case, I sold out one by one, in the second – waylaid ball bounce and summer flashed hapless goalkeeper. Another goal, he chalked up 14 February – went to “Lucerne” in the national championship. Total – three goals in a relatively short interval. Kerzhakov seems fresh, motivated and still in love with football. That is why, in fact, went abroad – to play, to conquer, to convince

But let’s not try to be clever.. It’s something about striker – argue do not argue, but the first step is to consider goals. How many of them have Kerzhakov, we understand. Let’s examine the performance of others. Dziuba Kokorin and – at zero. At the same time a second out on the field is not to say that often – 16 minutes in the two official matches of “Zenith”. Always, however, can present an argument: Kerzh something in his plays Switzerland, but our heroes just renewed season. Right. Only this is an argument in favor of Kerzhakov. He plays. He has already scored form, is in the game rhythm. Is not it a reason to bring forward at least March collection?

Moreover, Kerzhakov not just playing, and overcome all kinds of obstacles to the train, known as “Zurich”. Oh, you should have seen the miracle in the team, its fragrant lacy football, harmony, consistency, aggressive attack … Honestly, every goal of Alexander for “Zurich”, the team occupying the last place in the championship of Switzerland, is akin to a small football feat. This command is not intended for the attackers and not to a career resuscitation. And you look! ..

The bottom line is that Kerzhakov has revealed himself. Here I am, Leonid, look, as best I can. At the “Zurich”. Yes, in the gate “Sion” never lost “Liverpool” and almost 1/8 of which was released in the Europa League. Dziuba Kokorin and yet did not show anything. This list can also include Theodore Smolova, as the team of the candidate. But he (as, indeed, and all “Krasnodar”) things are not going all that well.

Leonid Slutsky, when asked about Kerzhakov, always responds to the effect that the chances of returning to the national team is, the player will be watching and all that. Well, right now, two and a half weeks before the March gathering, Kerzhakov – the best striker in the country. And the best striker in the country, probably should be in the team. And even if not, there is a reason to rejoice for a guy. Another of our veterans – do without names – Example
