The voice rang out clear and vibrant, singing in the language of Rohan's call to arms: "Stand now stand, the Knights of Théoden! Horrendous misfortunes beset us, there are shadows in the East "
I hope they know apologize drama, as much power to monopolize Russian football, no horrendous misfortune awaits us. But like the seasoned riders of Rohan against the threat of Mordor, it would make European football the old aristocracy to be wary of the danger to their interests is the growing potential of the Russian Premier League. Perhaps no where Mount Doom and Sauron the dark tower, ever vigilant, but coffers full of petrodollars, the same year after year attract interesting players in the international arena.
Gone are the days where Russian was a minor league in which highlighted good players at a low price for mid-table European teams, and even some large as Kanchelskis in Manchester or Karpin and Mostovoi in the best Celtic history. Radchenko , Popov , Nikiforov, Onopko or Tcheryshev are names we all know. But things have changed and the Russian competition does not just sell expensive, but buying a big way.
Clubs unaware that a decade ago as Zenit St Petersburg or Rubin Kazan now dominate the local championship, joining the old club known as the Moscow Spartak, once dominating all, Lokomotiv, CSKA and Dinamo. They have joined a new rich as Anzhi of Makhachkala, which the billionaire Suleiman Kerimov's hand aims to give a bombshell on the market with the signing of Eto'o. Moguls oil, gas and nickel have been taken over the giant of this clubs to try to bring them to the top.
In Cameroon, the club offers the Inter norcaucásico 30 million, plus 20 kilos per player for three seasons. To think about it. But the list of major investments not begin or end in the former Barcelona, but began a few seasons and year after year grows in size and importance. There is the example of midfielder Danny Luso, which paid 30 million Zenit Dinamo in 2008. Without going any further, the last arrival was that of the noisy international Zhirkov, whereby the Anzhi, where Capt. Roberto Carlos is already after some months of stay-at Chelsea paid 13 million pounds and have a tab of five million year. The Hungarian extreme Dzsudzsák, appears in the Eredivisie, is also new player Anzhi after paying 15 million to PSV.
Zenit, coached by Italian Luciano Spalletti is another major market leaders, such as when 22 million paid to Porto by Bruno Alves central, or stole from the Rubin Kazan Bukharov 11 million. Also with the recent addition of defense trans-Criscito -11 kilos, intended by the greats of calcium and holder in the Azzurri. Similarly, the quarter is spent Rubin Kazan, champion in 2008 and 2009 and Barcelona in the Champions League nightmare, as when he paid 20 million for Carlos Eduardo Hoffenheim or 11 to Genoa by the central Bocchetti. It offers a competitive package Cesar Navas where Spanish is important piece, and now will also have the Paraguayan Valdez, which paid 4 million to Hercules.
Another striker who said last year in our league as Caicedo wear the colors of Lokomotiv, who paid 7.5 million in the account of the Levant. The Spanish Zapater, formerly of Zaragoza, will partner Ecuador. The Argentine central Nico Pareja, by which the Spartak paid ten million Espanyol playmaker Misimovic Bosnian Honda or Japanese and Brazilian Vagner Love, the CSKA are other figures that have come in recent years the Russian league.
In Russia there is money, and that they can not tell in many corners of world football. Well know in FIFA, which leaves it up to the 2018 World Cup knowing that money will not be. There are few players who begin play sacrificing top-level league by petrodollars, but make an increasingly competitive league despite the difficulty of acclimatization. It is also true that players are generally passed from mid-level teams to clubs fighting for local titles and enter Europe. Rare would be to abandon top-level clubs in the big leagues, but Eto'o could be the exception.
In the UEFA rankings, the Russian Premier and occupies seventh place. Ranked sixth, but have been overtaken by the Portuguese league after the great role of their teams in the Champions League. A competition, the former UEFA, which CSKA and Zenit won in 2005 and 2008. But not all good news, because the Russian Federation has in hand a difficult issue with the prevailing xenophobia in some fields, where they have lived sad incidents like bananas thrown the Brazilian Roberto Carlos, issue that should have no compunction. But athletically speaking, your level grows every season and their teams and are a threat in European competitions, which are no longer seen as underdogs.
Also in Ukraine
Not only in Russia is no money for signings, but Ukraine has also raised his voice. After that Dynamo Kiev who terrorized defenses in the nineties with Shevchenko and Rebrov, Shakhtar Donetsk today is the one who flagged Ukrainian football in Europe with the Brazilians Jadson, Fernandinho, Willian Douglas Costa or as stars, as well as Croats and Eduardo Srna. They won the UEFA in 2009 and last season reached the quarter of Champions, being eliminated by Barcelona. Another team on the rise is the Dnipro Juande Ramos, who recently hired from the Getafe Ghana Boateng. Another reliable test, the Ukraine, the football it extends its shadow for old Europe.
