Pride
All matches of the 6th round of the RPL began from the minute of a standing ovation. The action dedicated to the crew of the Airbus A321 Ural Airlines, which landed the plane in a corn field after the failure of one of the engines, started in the FNL. The main Russian football league supported the initiative of colleagues.
The aircraft commander Damir Yusupov, co-pilot George Murzin, as well as the flight attendants of the crew became honored guests at the meeting “Ural” - “Wings of the Soviets”, which was held in Yekaterinburg.
From the hands of the leadership of the Ural team, the heroes received memorable prizes, gifts and season tickets for all the team's home games. In addition, Yusupov struck the first symbolic blow of the meeting and received a specially made coin and ball as a keepsake.

Now Damir Yusupov is looking forward to Tushino. The pilot admitted that he is a loyal fan of the capital's “Spartak”. Red and white announced the provision of an unlimited subscription and invited him to a meeting with CSKA. However, due to the tight schedule, the visit to the Opening of the Arena was postponed.
Solidarity
Also in the 6th round, fans of various teams expressed their condolences to the fans of Spartak, who lost a friend and loyal fan Alexei Vasyuk, nicknamed Bakhyt.
He gained his fame in fan circles because he never missed Spartak's guest meetings. Behind the 34-year-old fan, 515 trips left for football and hockey teams, many of which he hitchhiked. Vasyuk died on Wednesday, August 14. Returning from the match of the 5th round of the RPL from Grozny with Terek, he got into an accident, the consequences of which were fatal.

- RuFootball (@rufootballru) August 18, 2019Fans of Ural, Arsenal, Rubin, as well as Dynamo and Zenith, irreconcilable for red and white rivals, gave their solidarity and respect to Bahyt.
Active fans of Lokomotiv and Ufa did not stand aside. Red and green at the match with Dynamo, hung out a banner on the guest sector with the words: “Trouble has no flowers,” Ufa residents completely refused to support their team in the match with Rostov. The first five minutes of the meeting at the Neftyanik stadium passed in silence.
Protest
Zenit fans took part not only in the action of solidarity, but also expressed their position on the conflict that took place two weeks ago at the Gazprom Arena. A large-scale banner appeared on the bend of the stadium with a quote from Viktor Tsoi’s song: “Watch yourself, be careful.”
The words were printed in artistic type, and the phrase itself was separated by two colors. The first part of the fans blue-white-blue painted in the colors of the club, depicting the outlines of the fans inside the letters. The second appeared in black and with different silhouettes - riot police.
In addition, on top of the main banner of the match, fans posted several homemade paintings with the words: “Football for fans.”
As it became known to RT, thus active Zenit fans expressed their attitude to the mass brawl between the fans of the team and riot police in the 4th round of the RPL.
Prepaid expense
Forward “Wings of the Soviets” Alexander Sobolev again made experts, journalists and football fans talk about themselves. Unlike more distinguished colleagues, the 22-year-old striker does not participate in disputes with referees, does not swear with coaches and does not become a hero of secular chronicles, but simply continues to score.
So, after the 6th round, the Volzh forward forward single-handedly led the national championship scorers' race, upsetting the Urals with a long-range strike. Now Sobolev has five goals and he is ahead of Eldor Shomurodov and Artyom Dziub, who have not used their chances, by one exact blow.
Such performance could not pass without attention. Well-known coaches and experts actively recommend calling Sobolev to gather a national team. However, the forward has a different opinion on this. After a meeting in Yekaterinburg, he said that it was too early for him to dream of a Russian national team.
“Too little time has passed. Now, if I show such a game throughout the season, then you can think about the challenge. But it’s too early. Only six rounds passed. It doesn’t mean anything at all. I go from game to game. It will be seen further, ”Sport Express quotes Sobolev.
They are in no hurry to exalt the merits of Sobolev in the Wings themselves. So, the general director of the Samara club Vitaly Shashkov noted the improvement in the game of the striker, but he continued his thought that it was too early to reserve a place in the national team.
“The guy is progressing, growing up. A year and a half ago, when we took him, he was still a boy. He has a good attitude towards himself and the training process. If he does not reduce his requirements, and will progress, the national team coach will pay attention to him, ”the functionary explained.
Sleep
The head coach of “Rostov” Valery Karpin on the eve of the guest meeting with “Ufa” posted on Instagram a photo from the cinema with his wife, in which he was captured sleeping with a bucket of popcorn in his hands. “When the beloved wife brought to the cinema,” the mentor signed the picture.
And all would be fine, but after a day it became clear that the card was prophetic in its own way. The wards of the ex-footballer of the Russian national team instead of taking advantage of the Zenit misfire and heading the RPL standings, took an example from the coach and overslept the match in the capital of Bashkortostan. Yes, southerners inflicted 14 shots on goal of the opponent and possessed the ball more, but lost with the score 0: 2.
