Former football player of CSKA Moscow and the USSR national team Vladimir Ponomarev was named the best player of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“I always liked him when Promes was in good shape, but now Malcolm is the best player in the RPL. He’s more interesting than Promes. Quincy is a mood player. He’ll play in one game, stand in another and do nothing.
Malcolm is a hard-working footballer, always tasked to win and never defended himself. He plays real Soviet football, ”says Ponomarev “RB Sports”.
Recall that Zenit let Malcolm go to Brazil, where his wife Letizia was expecting a baby a few laps before the end of the championship. The birth did not take place in Russia, as the girl relied on the help and support of loved ones.
Malcolm has played 27 RPL games this season, scoring 23 goals and providing seven assists. He is clearly ahead in the scoring race. The midfielder is three goals ahead over second-place Spartak player Quincy Promes.
It was previously reported that midfielders Wendel and Claudinho. won’t play For Zenit until the end of the Russian championship.
