For the fourth time in the season, in a preview of the duel between today's rivals, journalists of various resources have to write something like "they will not play by the terms of the lease agreements," after which - a list of names. In this half-year the list looks like this: "Bezborodko, Sable, Grechishkin, Petryak, Kulach". At least, three certainly would have taken part in the match from the first seconds ... But - you can not. Order of Paulo Fonseca. Tired of this? Certainly. And there is a hope that today's match between the future champion and Zarei will be the last artificially deprived of the maximum competitiveness of one of the rivals.

No, the position of the Miner in the issue of the ban on playing against the same leased football players is understandable, reasoned and accessible for understanding (and from the legal side of the Miners and nothing at all forbids anyone, just if you want to involve in the match football players taken in Rent from Shakhtar - pay a round and, in fact, a very heavy and unprofitable amount). Someone can think differently and shout at every corner that no one can forbid anyone to play can not. Paulo Fonseca is sure that this way his club defends players who, in case of any serious and productive mistakes in the match against Shakhtar, would be suspected and seriously pressured. In general - an eternal dispute in which everything could be solved at the level of FFU, ULL and agreements between the clubs for a long time. But - not in our case. The fact remains that any position on this issue has the right to life, the contradictory arguments "for" and "against" in it will always. But, among other things, the root of the problem will always remain in the fact that there is one who himself, understanding all the minuses and risks, leases massively and is reckless enough. Difficulties and discussions on the topic of rented arise only in such cases.

In the context of the Dawn, this phenomenon has all chances to be eradicated in the summer. There are many reasons for this, lying on the surface and understandable to everyone. If nothing changes this summer, as a result, before each of the four matches of Luhansk with Shakhtar of the next season, we will continue to say that a whole group of Zarya leaders ... this will indicate the unwillingness of the club from Lugansk to make a pending and important step in its Development of. In the meantime, against the backdrop of an unforgettable conflict between Vernidub and Fonseca, we'll talk in more detail about the prerequisites and specific reasons why Zarya should change in the summer.

The club has stabilized its financial position and is the third strength of the league. Dawn has only long-standing debts to the old-timers of the team, stretching from the most difficult period financially - the beginning of the war in the Donbass, when the owner of the club almost lost the source of funding. Now Zarya is ready to pay players on time, and solid by today's standards. Therefore, both for young Ukrainian talents, and for experienced and rather masterful Ukrainian performers of the Dawn - an excellent option in all senses. The club was first in the conditions when, in the Ukrainian market, at least free agents, he can choose and dictate terms. Of course, to compete for the most worthy of Shakhtar and Dynamo will not work. But the performers of the second wave, able to make a result in the ULP, will always be happy to continue their career in Zara. In addition, the club can assure the invited talent in its financial stability for a long time - almost guaranteed third place before the start of the season, and therefore participation in the group round of LE and payments from UEFA, allow it to be done. Yes, despite the third place, Dawn is still not in the situation to educate players and give them to rent, like the same Shakhtar. But there was no need to invite performers whose fate you can not dispose of even in such simple situations as the decision on whether they will play or not in any particular match. Zare will need strengthening in the summer, but over the past year and a half has changed a lot - to ask talented artists to share with Shakhtar no longer needed. The club is able to be an independent player in the market, because it has something to offer potential newcomers and in addition to gaming practice.

Yuri Vernidub knows how to work in the transfer market, and the war no longer frighten the legionaries. Yes, the coach had a lot of misses. In addition, it is unlikely that the mentor himself and the club as a whole are satisfied with their campaigns during the last two transfer windows. But Vernidub began to prove his class in scouting issues for a long time, starting with the invitations of Pain, Danilo, Shunich. Further, and to this day, the most useful for the club in financial terms were precisely contracts with legionnaires that Zarya was reselling, or such performers (like Bonaventure and Forster now) became the main stars of the team and interested in stronger clubs (the same Shakhtar). Such an ability to find it is not known where and for a penny of really high-quality players are not all the specialists, but because it is necessary to use the instinct of Vernidub Zare. If the Lugansk club had announced tomorrow that it would refuse all leased football players in the summer, would anyone doubt that Zarya would still be manned in such a way that she would continue to be the favorite in the struggle for bronze next season?.

Another important point in the context of legionaries - Zarya can invite them, guaranteeing a place in the group round of the League of Europe. Of course, the participation of Zari in European competition is an important element of the club's functioning at this stage in general, which can, in particular, contribute to the qualitative strengthening of the team during the off-season. In addition, the club settled in Zaporozhye quite densely and seriously, and the war is unlikely to scare any of the legionnaires the way it was a year or two ago. Now in our country unlocked for big football, almost all the big cities and stadiums. And once the guarantees received are satisfied by UEFA, then it is not difficult for legionaries to explain that they are not threatened here.

In the team, dependence on leased players was already minimized. Yes, the departure of Malinovsky, then Budkovsky, and last winter Karavaev seriously affected the quality of the team's play and the results. However, there was always someone else from the rented, about whom one could say: "yes, this guy is really dragging". But who is dragging from the leased now? Can we talk about the inability to find them an adequate substitute in the free agent market? Petryak in the second part of the season spent only 7 games, without scoring even once and giving only one assists. Sobol played 5 full matches and 15 minutes in a duel with Olimpic. Yes, and in the defensive line of the artist is easier to find than to attack. Grechishkin played in six games, and the role of Kulach was never so serious, not to mention Bezborodko. Yes, in the first part of the championship the real difference was created by Petryak and Karavaev. But now there are no such performers among the rented ones.

Although all these performers are really good level. And, by the way, it's possible that there was no such problem with the form of these players, if they could play at once in three spring matches against the strongest club in the country, thanks to which they would be in good shape, develop and learn. But they watched from the stands with Shakhtar. At the same time, even quantitatively the inability to employ all these players creates huge problems for Zari. The team is a living organism, in which there are almost always injured, disqualified and so on. Therefore, before losing every match against Shakhtar 7-10 players (taking into account the leased from the Miners) means not only the loss of the opportunity to play the main team, but also the chance to prove that the club's chosen way in the question of the composition of the squad is correct. Dawn suffers not because of the Miner's prohibition. And from the fact that massively leases football players from one club.

Features of the format of PLE: Are the rented and the lessor satisfied?.

Another important point - how should the same Sable feel with Petriak in the current format? It's one thing to miss two matches out of 30 under the championship system with 16 clubs in two laps. It is quite another to lose almost half a year in the second stage, as it is now, and, in the case of extending the lease agreements, for example, until the summer of 2018, get the same thing next year? You can not play against the strongest and most principled opponent in the championship, in the spring - for the time being only a dream, only the Sable can seriously speak about the national team, and even that is a match, the second. It turns out that from the beginning of December to the middle of July these players will play an average of 10 matches (plus or minus). Think about 10 official matches in 7 months. It is logical that players whose contracts belong to Shakhtar, in the future, renting within Ukraine will be of little interest, but specifically in Zara - except for the sake of the League of Europe, until the winter break. How then would Vernadub build a team for the long term?.

It is interesting that in early 2016 Sergei Palkin commented on Malinovsky's lease to Genk: "We looked at the calendar. They realized that in Zara he will play 9 matches, and in Belgium - about 20 matches. In terms of gaming practice and growth - this is a plus for Malinovsky's ". Parallels naturally arise. As well as the conclusion that both Shakhtar and his football players, cooperation with Zarei is profitable only in the autumn part of the season, because of the League of Europe. Accordingly, the lease becomes unprofitable for Zarya, which traditionally decides much in the tournament plan in the spring, when the team's business is much worse than in the first part of the season (regardless of format). In fact, one of the naturally unplanned advantages of the current format of the Premier League in the case of the now widespread ban on playing for rented - the reason for the clubs to come to an understanding of the irrationality of renting. In the conditions of the current championship and the mediocre level of football players, even in the strongest clubs (except Shakhtar) - it's even somewhat stupid from the point of view of any club and coach - to miss the opportunity to build a team right now for the long-term perspective, educating and revealing football players whose contracts you can dispose of Benefit for themselves on the basis of. In addition, one can hope that in the worst case, the same Zarya, having successfully rented, for example, Kalitvintseva, will understand that it is necessary to rent if necessary, different clubs, and preferably not in Ukraine. Even such an intra-club limit on the number of borrowed players will already be considered progress.

However, a logical outcome in this issue should be more tough decisions and sharp changes. As part of the current relationship with Shakhtar, the existing format of the league and the development of Zarya with new, serious tasks of the club, the other way is unlikely to allow the people of Luhansk to bypass the most complicated stage of stagnation, which has already begun, if not started.
