Shnyakin: Glushenkov is not a legend, he is changing himself

Commentator Dmitriy Shnyakin shared his thoughts on the recent changes in midfielder Maksim Glushenkov’s performance. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the player first realized the necessity to change himself and has taken steps in that direction. Shnyakin particularly highlighted Glushenkov’s effective participation in recent matches and the results he showed when coming on as a substitute.

In the podcast, he stated that Maksim is not a true legend, so it is not necessary to rebuild a top Russian Premier League club based on him. The main change should happen within the player himself.

In the 2025/2026 season, Glushenkov played eight games in the Russian championship and cup, scoring three goals and providing two assists. These results demonstrate his usefulness to the team and provide a foundation for further development in the future.

According to Shnyakin, the player’s desire for self-improvement is important for the team’s success.
