Sergey Pesyakov, the goalkeeper of the "Krylya Sovetov" team, responded to the question of whether the "Dinamo" team, after the arrival of Valeriy Karpin, is considered the main competitor to "Zenit" for the championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He did not express a clear opinion about the future but emphasized that this could happen within a year. At the end of the last season, "Dinamo" finished in fifth place in the Russian Premier League. In June, the club's management decided to appoint Valeriy Karpin as the head coach. The new season will start on July 18. On that day, "Dinamo" will take the field against Kaliningrad's "Baltika" in the first round. This game is an important milestone for the new team and may influence its future results. "Dinamo" is preparing to test its strength under the new coach. The team's goal this season is to occupy high positions and delight the fans.

Former "Dinamo" football player Dmitriy Bulykin expressed his opinion on the selection of the team captain. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Previously, goalkeeper Andrey Lunyov mentioned that he was surprised to see Bityello wearing the captain's armband, as he had been late to previous gatherings. According to Bulykin, Lunyov's words are not unfounded, as he knows the events well from the inside. He also agreed with Konstantin Tyukavin, emphasizing that the captaincy of the "Dinamo" team should be given to a Russian player. According to him, the captain must always be of Russian nationality, as he can communicate with the referee, motivate the team, talk to the coach, and be a leader both on the field and in the dressing room. In previous seasons, the captaincy of "Dinamo" was held by Fabián Balbuena. However, he left the club at the end of the 2024/2025 season. This change requires identifying a new leadership role within the team. The team management and coaching staff are approaching this task with caution. The captaincy position is considered crucial for the team's success. Therefore, this issue is being thoroughly discussed.

The midfielder Rodrigo Salasar, who plays for the Portuguese team "Braga," is currently on the transfer list of St. Petersburg's "Zenit" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Legalbet journalists, representatives of the Russian club have contacted the agents of the 25-year-old player. The Uruguayan player is interested in joining "Zenit" because there are many Latin American players in the St. Petersburg team. It is worth noting that "Zenit" planned to buy Salasar last winter, but the agreement did not materialize. The contract between Rodrigo Salasar and the Portuguese club is set to last until the end of June 2028. His transfer value is estimated at around 18 million euros. This indicates that the player's position and potential in central midfield are high. The "Zenit" team aims to strengthen its attack and defense lines by adding him to their squad.

Dinamo team's forward Konstantin Tyukavin responded to the words of goalkeeper Andrey Lunyov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Lunyov recently stated that he does not understand the uncertainty regarding Bityello wearing the captain's armband during training matches. He emphasized that Bityello was late to the team gatherings. Tyukavin humorously replied to this opinion. According to him, if the coach has made such a decision, there is no need to oppose it. At the same time, Tyukavin also pointed out that the likelihood of Bityello becoming the captain is low. The Dinamo team will play their first official match of the 2025/2026 season on July 18, Friday. On this day, Valeriy Karpin's team will host the Baltika team in the first round of the Russian Premier League. This match is significant as the start of the season. It will also be interesting and important for the team's fans. Additionally, the coach and players will try to show that they are fully prepared for the new season.

Aleksey Chistyakov, the goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Matvey Safonov's first coach, shared his thoughts on the player's future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, if Donnarumma stays at PSG for at least another year, Safonov should move to another club on loan. This is considered the best option for Matvey, as it is detrimental for a goalkeeper to remain without playing practice. Chistyakov emphasized that currently, it is difficult for Safonov to compete with Donnarumma, so it is necessary for him to gain playing time on loan to improve his skills. Last season, the 26-year-old Russian player participated in 17 matches across all competitions, conceded 13 goals, and kept his goal closed seven times. The expert believes that for Safonov to showcase himself in the future, it is crucial to have regular playing practice. Therefore, a loan agreement is considered the most appropriate path for his development.

What is the connection between a chair, a latte, and Fyodor Smolov? Euro-football.ru reported on this. Everything is considered a public disaster weapon if you happen to be at "Kofemaniya" on Nikitskaya Street. Seven years ago, Kokorin threw furniture at an official here, and now the Russian champion is fighting with his fingers. Yes, it has become clear that Fyodor Smolov is not only a champion but also a powerful right-hand striker. The whole country, especially regular customers of Moscow cafes, is pondering one question: should he have fought with his fingers? This incident is like "dynamite," not "Dinamo." The event resembles a scene from a series: early morning hours, traces left from a night out, Smolov sitting in "Kofemaniya," an unlucky place for football. Two men, according to rumors, are discussing him not as a champion but as a footballer who has lost consciousness on the field. They were expecting morning espresso but instead received a quick punch. The video shows that initially Fyodor placed his hands as if during a break in front of the coach, and then two punches were thrown. One of the punches hit the person trying to calm him down. Moscow, good morning! Importantly, no criminal case has been opened, there are no serious injuries, and not even coffee was spilled. This situation is repeating itself in "Kofemaniya": another footballer, another scandal, but unlike before, there are no chairs or Kokorin's friends. Everything is more subtle, less rudeness, more crime and punishment, more specifically, blackmail and moral compensation. According to reports, Smolov was demanded one million rubles for silence, which the footballer agreed to. Then the demand increased to three million, and then twenty million was asked. At that moment, Fyodor might have preferred to deliver a stronger punch for himself. Then he filed a complaint with the police — about the claimants. From that point, the situation turned. It became a transition from the accused to the victim, from the "aggressive footballer" to the target. Citizens, this moral game is check and mate. Pavel Mamaev, who was arrested for "Kofe liniyasi," came to defend his friend: Fyodor understands he made a mistake and apologized. Everything is manly and beautiful, only the apology was made through a lawyer. Another participant in the conflict, entrepreneur Popeluxa, turned out to be a philosopher from the 90s. He said he had no complaints, understood Fyodor, thought about his children, and if he apologized, that was enough. He acknowledged that he was hit, noting that his colleague's jaw had cracks like an iPhone case, but emphasized that everyone grew up in the 90s. Now let's think seriously. Fighting with hands is not evidence, even if insults are heard. Especially if you are a public athlete, 35 years old, and your contract has expired, with the next one being uncertain. Smolov knows this well: any conflict in a public place is recorded not with a pen but with surveillance cameras, and the editing will not be in your favor. But what should you do if provoked? Should you wait for the video to spread? What is the outcome? There was a scandal, no criminal case was opened, and the demand situation is under investigation. Reputation is under pressure. Fyodor is a person who lost his head, then found strength, admitted his guilt, and played according to the new rules: through lawyers and police. Conclusion: he should not have fought with his fingers, but buying the video for money is also not right.
