Mironov believes Golenkov will score soon, urging confidence be given to him after the missed penalty.
In the 4th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Rostov clinched a hard-fought 1:0 victory over Paris NN. The decisive goal was scored by Egor Golénkov, but the team could have added at least three more to their tally had they converted all their chances.
Despite the missed penalty by Golénkov in the 38th minute, Rostov managed to secure an important victory. This success comes as no surprise, given the team's focus on penalty practice, with several players, including Suleimanov and Komarov, regularly participating in these sessions. Coach Alexei Mirnov even joins in these practice sessions, and he believes Golénkov is currently honing his penalty skills to boost his confidence.
Meanwhile, the coach of Spartak, Grishin, has attributed his team's struggles to the behaviour of Stanovich. Elsewhere, former Spartacus player Mostovoy has evaluated Lokomotiv's transfer policy and start in the RPL.
In a more personal note, Golénkov and Nikita Medvedev, who was the goalkeeper for Paris NN, were long-time training partners. As for the future, Batrakov, a former Spartak player, is expected to receive serious offers from top European clubs next summer, according to his agent.
Looking ahead, Rostov will face an away game against Kazan's "Rubin" in the 5th round, scheduled for August 17. The team will be aiming to build on their recent success and continue their strong start to the season.
Bookmakers across Europe have started to take notice of Rostov's excellent performance in the Russian Premier League, with soaring odds for the team to secure the title. Golénkov's impressive showing in the 4th round, despite missing a crucial penalty, has raised speculations about the possibility of the premier league moving to European-leagues, with Rostov on the forefront.
