Spartak's new defensive midfielder: played with Umyarov since childhood, was “Chertanovsky Iniesta”, became a key player in the pleasant “Wings”

Moves the ball great.

« Spartak continues to strengthen the roster – the red-whites announced the transfer of the Krylia Sovetov defensive midfielder Danil Prutsev .

What do you need to know about him?

Prutsev was brought up in Krasnodar and Chertanovo, to ” Wings, he did not gain a foothold in Sochi

Prutsev is 21 years old. He is from the Krasnodar Territory, was born in the village of Mostovsky (hence, by the way, Roman Pavlyuchenko). He has a brother Yegor, he is two years younger, he plays in the FNL. Their father, Igor, brought them to football: the family lived not far from the Triumph stadium, where the local team played.

In Triumph, Danil had to train with guys two years older, because the teams his age (2000) was simply not there. At the age of nine, the boy was noticed by the breeders of the Krasnodar Academy, which was just being formed and gathered promising football players. Yegor also moved there. True, the brothers soon dispersed – in 2014, Danil was called to Chertanovo, and Yegor remained in Krasnodar.

Pavel Andreev became Danil’s agent there – he had contracts with the whole team, which in 2019 almost entered the RPL, playing with hundreds of fans in the stands. But after the pandemic and the failed exit, the project was curtailed, and the leaders (Lomaev, Soldatenkov, Sarveli, Yezhov, a little earlier – Zinkovsky) moved to Wings under the tutelage of Andreev.

True , unlike other players, Prutsev managed his career himself: having played six matches in the FNL for Wings, he went to Sochi, where his brother was cut in the youth team, and his father was the head of the team. The player explained that he could not refuse the offer of a club from his native Krasnodar Territory.

In Sochi, Prutsev failed to gain a foothold in the start. 20 matches, but only 551 minutes and mostly substitutions.

“He got into a strong team, and I can’t say that he didn’t play at all,” said Igor Osinkin in an interview with Metaratings. – All the same, he had matches in the starting lineup, he often played for the main team, but, probably, he almost lacked the qualities to impose a fight on fairly strong competitors. Coach Fedotov considered that other players were stronger.

But any person should benefit from such situations: he fought for a place in the squad, trained with a high-level team. With proper attitude to such situations, it is necessary to get out of them only stronger. Since he spends a lot of time with us in the composition, despite the fact that we also have competition, it means that we are satisfied with him. He works, adds, trains very well. I think that after his return, he improved on himself, became more confident, stronger, in the youth team he plays a lot of games in the first team. ”

Prutsev has a special chemistry with Umyarov, Nail played just instead of Danil (due to his injury)

In the 2017/18 season, Prutsev became the main player in Chertanovo, which from the PFL to the FNL, but in the very first match of the next season, already in the first league, he broke his leg – and he was replaced in the squad by … Nail Umyarov. Which, thanks to Prutsev’s injury, secured himself at the start and ended up in Spartak.

I didn’t even have time to warm up, – recalled Umyarov. – I agree, it was a matter of chance, but I immediately entered the game and actually had one of the best matches in my career without errors. At least in the FNL. In the next round, Igor Osinkin could release anyone, but again he trusted me. I also played the match with Zenit-2 at a good level and off we go. With every game I felt more confident and confident. And when there is confidence, you play for pleasure: with desire and pleasure. “

By the way,

In the youth team Umyarov and Prutsev regularly intersect – in the autumn matches, the Spartak newcomer regularly appeared on the field and even gave an assist with the Spaniards – after a successful pressure action and an interception in the opponent’s half of the field.

Prutsev is the most important player of the Wings, in Chertanovo he was called Iniesta

Let’s get to the style of the game. The press service of “Chertanovo” called Prutsev “Chertanovsky Iniesta” – he is really quite fragile (174 centimeters and 62 kilograms, the same Umyarov is 11 kg heavier and almost 10 cm taller), but this does not prevent him from playing an important role in the center fields. Alexander Dorsky called his key player in the current Wings – and this despite Zinkovsky, Lomaev, Sergeev and Yezhov.

Prutsev is the seventh RPL player in terms of the number of ball moves into the final third in 90 minutes, only Zenit and Dynamo players are above him , Krasnodar and Christian Noboa. He is also the main tackler in the Wings (23rd in the league), and is in the top 15 in the RPL in terms of the number of pressing actions. After them, Krylia returned the ball in 4.78 cases in 90 minutes – this is the second result, more often only Baktier Zainutdinov’s pressing actions led to the return of the ball.

Probably affects that Prutsev started as an attacking midfielder and only then became a defensive midfielder – hence the quality work with the ball. By the way, in the FNL he gave a decent volume – for example, with Orenburg in 2019 he ran more than 18 kilometers: “Perhaps these are all genes, my father was a hardy football player. But training also makes itself felt.

In Spartak it will be more difficult – both because of the pressure and because of the higher line of defense. It seems that Prutsev is taken for depth – it is unlikely that he will immediately get into the start.

Let’s see how Vanoli evaluates it.
