Among the teams playing in the Russian Premier League, those currently standing out with their performance are CSKA and Lokomotiv in the initial rounds. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
However, overall there is no stability. The teams' levels are converging, and the quality of play has dropped to an average level.
Krasnodar is playing at its level. Sometimes they score goals, sometimes they assist or take advantage of penalties.
Zenit, on the other hand, looks very weak. They need to finalize their squad, select key players, and shape their playing style.
So far, it is unclear who will be fielded, which is why the team's development is progressing with difficulty. Regarding the conflict between John Cordoba and Moises, Cordoba played deliberately and aggressively.
If he had hit Moises with the ball and then struck him with his foot, it could have caused a serious injury. In football, there are sometimes cases of deliberately hitting the ball, but intending to harm an opponent is wrong.
Foreign players should demonstrate good football, be exemplary players, and serve as role models for the youth. They receive the highest salaries, so they must behave as high-level footballers.
In Europe, a foreign player acting like this is immediately punished. Deliberately hitting the ball does not require much intelligence and adds no beauty to the game.
After the break for national team matches, the Russian championship will continue on September 12 with the match between Rubin and Dinamo Makhachkala.
