Batrakov has no rivals: he received 22 out of the 32 top spots in the voting for the best young player in the RPL. The coaches and captains of the Premier League clubs have identified the best among the young footballers, and the results are clear. Alexey Batrakov has won this award for the second year in a row. He received 22 top spots out of 32 possible. This dominance is a natural result of his professional growth. As a midfielder, he plays effectively in the center of the field, demonstrating excellent passing skills, skillful movement without the ball, and the ability to read the game at a top-level. His adaptation to the demands of the RPL has allowed him to firmly establish himself as one of the team’s key players. Matvei Kislyak took second place. The gap between the top two players and the rest is huge: 131 points compared to 42 points for Daniil Glebov. However, several top spots were given to other players: Dmitrieva was voted by Karsedo and Zobnin. Rozhkov was voted for by Artiga, while Pedro chose Douglas Santos. An interesting point in Artem Zuby’s voting: as the captain of Akron, he voted for his teammates Dmitri Pesterakov and Maksim Boldirev, but he still gave Batrakov the top spot. The results clearly reflect the changes in the structure of Russian football. The RPL clubs are increasingly integrating young players into their starting teams, reducing their dependence on foreign players and establishing long-term development strategies. Batrakov’s victory could be a catalyst for his transfer to top teams in the league or attract the attention of European scouts. For the league, this is an important sign of improving the quality of academies and increasing the competitiveness of domestic professionals in the domestic market.
