RPL President Alexander Alaev named the man of the year in Russian football. It was Igor Akinfeev. According to Aliyev, the army goalkeeper deserves a monument in the Moscow arena.

“It’s not for me to decide, but I agree with the opinion that this can be done now,” Alaev said.

Last season, Akinfeev won his 21st trophy with CSKA. He has been playing for the Red-Blues since 2003. Let us remind you that CSKA beat Krasnodar in a penalty shootout last season and won the Russian Cup.

Previously reported that ex-player of the Spartak football club Egor Titov shared his thoughts about the outgoing year 2023. Titov admitted that 2023 did not bring him anything bad. The athlete said that his grandson is growing up, who will soon turn one and a half years old, and this fact makes him very happy.
