Lokomotiv - Spartak M. The second of three consecutive fights in the September derby tournament of the three main contenders for the podium. After a bright draw with CSKA, Spartak was beaten in Munich at the start of the Champions League group stage. Lokomotiv had to escape from the 15-match unbeaten run in the national championship in order to meet in the UEFA Cup with the Belgian modest Zulte-Waregem. The result turned out to be more decent than Spartak’s, but the impression (given that the opponents got from different systems of football measurements) is hardly. However, it is time to abstract from Euro-work and return to the realities of domestic life. The main one for both Cherkiz duelists is the army silhouette looming in front.
 | UNEXPECTED INTrigue |
Dynamo - Amkar. Almost two years ago (September 18, 2004), these rivals already survived the match-battle for maintaining their place in the Premier League. The Samara referee Sergey Marushko, who has now been demoted to the first division, has sounded with a whistle the popular axiom that Dynamo will not be allowed to fly out under any circumstances. In the second half, with the score 0: 1, for starters he left Amkar in the minority, and a few minutes later he awarded a penalty to his goal. In short, in the words of the then head of the judiciary, Nikolai Levnikov, “I worked out not very confidently.” Dynamo, of course, did not fly out. Amkar, to everyone's surprise, too. And here we have deja vu: Dynamo and Amkar are again fighting for survival in Petrovsky Park. And again, no one believes that Dynamo will fly out. And only residents of Perm believe that Amkar will not fly out, and even that is among optimists. Judges Igor Egorov.

Roman Adamov , who has scored in three games in a row (4 goals). The jerk of “Moscow” and the performance of Adamov remained in the shadow of CSKA super-derby “Spartak” and the performances of Russian clubs in European competitions. Meanwhile, Moscow is already in fifth place. And they don’t even remember about the possible resignation of Leonid Slutsky, which was predicted with confidence in the middle of summer. A regularly scoring Adam in case of saving the scorer pace has a good chance to interest Guus Hiddink. He loves and knows how to work with powerful forwards like a Muscovite.
 | IMPORTANT WORDS |
“In Kobelev’s remarks, he’ll slip all the time, as if he wasn’t working on a team with me. But we engaged in tactics and selection together. I constantly consulted with him, but I did not feel any feedback or activity. If the club is dear to you, you need to prove your love for it by deed, argue, defend your position in front of the head coach, and not take a wait and see attitude, ”- Yuri Semin on working with Andrei Kobelev in Dynamo Moscow.
