Season Preview: Luch-Energiya Vladivostok. Flyover
By: Ivan | March 5th, 2007
Location. If looking from Moscow, Vladivostok is really on the edge of the world: 6500 km equals 9 hours flight. But it’s close to Japan – that’s why almost every car in town has right rudder.
Team. Has Tigers alias because Russian Far East is an areal of rare Ussurian tigers. Prefers to win at home: it’s not a hard challenge to play against drowsy opponent who took a long, uncomfortable flight over whole country.
Stars. Surely their fans are. Great support at Dynamo stadium didn’t earn result only twice – against Zenit St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow. Pitch played for Luch too – look at the photo and imagine how muddy it was.
Transfers. Sold a keeper, bought a keeper. No wonder if number of conceded goals will stay the same.
Rivals. There is no need to rival with Luch-Energiya. It’s always hard to survive in Vladivostok and easy to win in, ahem, Europe.
Fact. Luch’ forward Alexandr Tikhonovetskiy is the unluckiest one. Once his shot was stopped by goalkeeper’s hand outside the box, but Tikhonovetskiy wrongly got the red card instead the opponent. Soon he was nailed in smoking weed and banned for 8 months.
