The transfer of Yaroslav Rakitsky to Zenit made a lot of noise. But ultimately, any discussion on this topic ends with the question of the future career of a defender of the national team of Ukraine …
OBOZREVATEL believes that such a question It is not at all topical, although it has created additional difficulties for Andriy Shevchenko.
The challenge of Rakitsky is new problems for Shevchenko and his team
It should be said right away: no law or legal norm of Ukrainian legislation or world agreements will prevent Rakitsky from play for the Ukrainian national team as a footballer of Ukrainian nationality. And if Shevchenko wants to call him, Yaroslav (of course, he does not give up) will arrive in the team.
But that will not happen. And Shevchenko (FFU as a whole) is unlikely to follow, and Yaroslav himself has probably bid farewell to the national team of Ukraine.
The transfer of Rakitsky to Zenit allowed many sighs – now there will be nothing to complain about the pro-Russian position of the football player and Yaroslav reactions to the political moments The coaches do not will suffer no headaches because of the permanent "damage" that a footballer has suffered before the teams match. And there will be no permanent reprimand for the performance of the anthem with a hand on the side. Everyone understands that in this situation, many have become their places and that the separation of the team with Rakitsky must be a natural extension of this chain.
Moreover, there is now a reason for iron: a career in Russia. If before his opponent Rakitsky, it was hard to argue that the post "does not need to call him in the team" (because Yaroslav was the best defender of the best Ukrainian club), but now everything is reduced to one – the Ukrainian team should not play against a player who voluntarily went to work in Russia.
Shevchenko himself has not yet given a clear answer to the question about Rakitsky, but fans of the national team and Ukrainian society know the answer and without the coach of the national team. And to Shevchenko himself, with FFU, in essence, there is no other way out, how to say goodbye to Yaroslav. Otherwise, the football community will simply not allow the player to remain calm and train, and more, to play on the national team. This is a new flood of negativity around the team and fan-related problems that can engage in radical actions (for example, breaking a match or "coming to the team to determine the relationship") . By the way, the famous football fan of the national team and Ukrainian showman Alexander Fozzy Sidorenko has already expressed his opinion on the eventual breakup of the match.
Another aspect of the coin is that if FFU and Shevchenko "publicly" deny Rakitsky's calls, they will have a small but still an advantage in karma. Shevchenko himself will obviously not prevent and strengthen his authority as coach of the national team and, in general, will gather even more fans around the team.
To do this, as in 2016, FFU will no longer be given. Then the federation has focused on the challenge facing the players of the Euro 2016 Championship of Russia. End of May 2016, the national team with the noisy joy of the capital went to the airport by plane and two players of Russian clubs (Alexander Zinchenko and Bohdan Butko) joined the team already abroad (when "blue-yellow" just before the holding of the championship rally in Italy)
Do not be afraid of goodbye to Rakitsky – Matvienko exists
But while the discussions about Rakitsky are still part of the team, the other side of the scale is the sporting aspect of the issue. In recent years, Yaroslav was one of the best defenders of "blue-yellow" and many have saved the team not only in a defense match, but also in his long run.
Thus, in the 2018 matches, Shevchenko has fully relied on Rakitsky's leadership role in the national team. However, the next generation is growing, the next generation, who is already ready to replace Yaroslav in the near future. In the first place – another defender of Shakhtar Nikolay Matvienko. Also left-handed, also plays center left and also has a good transfer. Many football professionals are already confident that Matvienko will outperform Rakitsky and become a European player. Nicholas is only 22 years old
Shevchenko follows the same path (Matvienko's progress), carefully introducing a defender to the base of his team. In 2018, Matvienko played in all football matches, "blue-yellow" (4 out of 5 – at the base), as well as in "call to the call" organized by a group of the League of Nations. And there are no complaints about the 22-year-old bek match, and Ukraine's result in the LN fully meets expectations. Why the Rakitsky team at such times?
More is enough about the approach and the other advocates. In Belgium, the level of Igor Plastun (who has already been integrated into the team) is growing, Nikita Burda trains well with Dynamo, promises Oleksandr Svatok (who will probably go from Star to another team) . In addition, many expect Dynamo Vitaliy Mikolenko, 19, who has already made his debut in the national team, to play in the future not only on the flank, but also in the peloton of central defenders .
Not favorable to Rakitsky. the general concept that is in the team. Nowadays, more and more "blue-yellow" refuse to move away from the depths, trying to use the techniques and the spirit of the midfield – Malinovsky, Zinchenko, Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko . And with the attackers is such that on the transfer protection, especially for anyone to run and hang on to such bullets. Yaremchuk and Boryachuk are attackers of a different type, and Besedin, who is capable of "vygrizti", is not yet known, or will return to the team this year (after prolonged treatment and a loss of form).
Overall, everything rests on the fact that the time The Rakitsky team is over. So in front of the team Shevchenko difficult selection for the Euro 2020 (already the first qualifying match in March – against the champions of Europe, Portugal). But this is not an opportunity to feverishly catch the old names – the team lacks new potential to fight adequately and win a ticket to the European Championship.
. Well, it seems that the majority do not deny it. This page of the team's life is about to open and this is the best time to do it.
