Anzhi breaks records at fixed matches

In the RPL was played 15 rounds. This year we have a unique case when a club has more than 30% of fixed games. There is nothingsurprising that the club from the North Caucasus.

1. Anzhi 1-0 Rostov (7 Round)

All are well seen, the match referee Sukhina killed Rostov.                                                                       

 2. Volga 1-2 Anzhi (8 Round)

Situation where four defender calmly and immobility are watching how the striker rival Shamil Lakhiyalov twice at point-blank shooting goalie explain, I think not. Nor does it have to explain to a large group of spectators, who immediately after the goal started to leave the stadium.

3. Terek 1-0 Anzhi (10 Round)

Opening of a new stadium for 250 million euros in Chechnya for Russian money of taxpayers. The match turned dull, all it knew in advance the result. Last season, when Anzhi was fighting for the preservation of places in the RPL, they are good neighbors of Chechnya and Kabardino-Balkaria have lost two fixed games. Now it's time to repay debts.
Last year's match Terek 1-3 Anzhi

The total amount of rates on this match only at one bookmaker - stock exchanges of rates Betfair - has exceeded 2,1 million dollars. It approximately in 800-1000 times more the average rate on matches of the Russian championship and an absolute record of this season. Other western bookmakers have refused to accept rates on this match, and Russian have exposed the factors doing with the obvious favourite of a match of "Anzhi". Rates on a victory of visitors were accepted from calculation 1,15-1,22, on a victory of "Terek" - from calculation 7 to 1 or 8 to 1. Terek »left on a match without several leading legionaries - Ektora Brakamonte and Antonio Ferrejry though traumas, н дисквалификаций on the eve of this game at them weren't. Also on a match there were no leading forwards of "Terek"Shamil Lahijalov and Shamil Asildarov.
4. Lokomotiv 1-2 Anzhi (11 Round)

For those who are not convinced by the strange goals Anzhi. After the game, the President of Lokomotiv dismissed the head coach Krasnozhan for participation in a fixed match (in this game is not played 4 major players Loko). According to rumors of a players learned that the coach has sold Anzhi match and said this to President. Krasnozhan one of the best masters of the fixed matches, he spent several years working in the North Caucasus in Nalchik, so nobody was surprised.

5. Anzhi 2-0 Nalchik (12 Round)

The second series of the show "The Return of the debt for the 2010 season." Last Round 2010 season, the match Nalchik 1-3 Anzhi

P.S.

You can see that matches number 3 and number 5 was played between the Caucasus clubs (Derby). But in the RPL concept of "Caucasian derby" and "fixed match" are synonymous. And fans of the Caucasian clubs have union called the ATAS (an abbreviation of four islamic clubs: Anji Makhachkala (Dagestan), Terek Grozny (Chechnya), Nalchik (Kabardino-Balkaria) and Alania Vladikavkaz (North Ossetiya). About ATAS clubs and their wild fans and managers, about funding, about their relationship to the Russian people and the dangers of "black guest matches" I write in a separate post later.

Hidden talents

Many have heard that in Russia, the players receive huge amounts of money are not worthy of his talent. But we still have people who love football not for money, and sometimes play football better thanmillionaire footballers.

Russia NT fans in Salzburg(Cameroon vs Russia):

Nizhny Novgorod(NN) - OMONovsk-city (robocops-city).

NN - the third capital, one of the most beautiful cities of Russia and tourist center. Unfortunately, among football fans, the city has fallen into disrepute because of the most brainless police in Russia. A striking example of the police at the match Lokomotiv NN - Spartak Moscow in 1997:

After 2 years Loko NN left RPL. Only in 2011 again robocops(from NN) entered the elite league with another club Volga NN. What do you think has changed from our "old friends" - robocops. They have now in addition to batons, electric shock appeared that they apply not only to fans but also to the players. So hit Serbian footballer of Zenit - Danko Lazovic:
