The former Russian footballer **Oleg Kornaukhov** commented on the recognition of **Zenit’s** midfielder **Maxim Glushenkov** as the best player of the Mir RPL for September.

“Perhaps, a bit of criticism from experts – maybe even from the head coach – regarding his absence from the starting lineup has had an impact. Glushenkov is a highly ambitious player, undoubtedly talented, though he doesn’t always manage to channel that talent effectively. This month, he truly stood out with impressive performances. The beautiful goals he scored, including a hat-trick – few players can achieve that. **Zenit** is gradually reviving, starting to be talked about again, and despite everything, the team remains one of the main contenders for the championship – much of this credit goes to Maxim,” Kornaukhov said, according to the RPL website.
