Mironov on Golenkov's missed penalty: "Egor will score next time – he needs to be encouraged"

In the recent 4th round match of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Rostov emerged victorious against Paris NN with a narrow 1:0 scoreline. However, the game was not without its dramatic moments, as Egor Golénkov missed a crucial penalty kick against his former teammate Nikita Medvedev on the 38th minute.

Alexei Mirnov, a midfielder for Rostov, expressed his thoughts on the missed penalty, suggesting that the long-time training partnership between Golénkov and Medvedev might have played a role. Despite the setback, Rostov managed to secure the win with a goal in the second half.

Looking ahead, Rostov's next challenge is an away game against Rubin in the 5th round, scheduled for August 17. Meanwhile, ex-Spartacus player Mostovoy has evaluated Rostov's transfer policy and their current standing in the RPL.

It is worth noting that Rostov's penalty training practices, including those of Golénkov and Mirnov, are not extensively covered in the available sources. For detailed insights into the club's penalty training methods or the individual routines of these players, one may refer to Rostov FC's official communications, recent interviews with the coaches or players, or specialized sports news coverage focused on the club.

Interestingly, several Rostov players, including Suleymanov and Komarov, are known to practice penalties, with Mirnov occasionally joining these training sessions. Alexei Mirnov also believes that Golénkov is currently practicing penalties and will take the next one to boost his confidence.

Despite missing the chance to double their lead, Rostov could have scored more than once, with at least three opportunities for a goal being squandered. This serves as a reminder that Rostov will need to be more clinical in their finishing as they aim to climb up the RPL table.
