Many Kazakh clubs are slowly completing the bulk of their squad building, and in the midst of a huge transfer tide, you may have missed out on a few small-named but potentially effective deals. The correspondent of bbabo.net tells which of the newcomers to the KPL can become the opening of the league.
Jordan Nkololo, "Kyzyl-Zhar"
The former DR Congo winger started his career in France and even spent two seasons in Ligue 1. But after France, the player went to less status championships. Since 2018, Nkololo has managed to play in Romania, Croatia, Latvia, Ukraine and Lithuania. He gave relatively stable and productive segments only in the Baltic countries. Let's see if the Congolese will succeed in Kazakhstan, but usually in the teams of Andrey Karpovich, legionnaires, if they do not sparkle, then give a certain quality. Moreover, Nkololo is going to the KPL after a really productive season at Suduva, where he scored 11 effective actions in 16 matches.
Mate Crntsenvich, "Aktobe"
In the mass arrival of players from the national team of Kazakhstan and legionnaires like Hugo Widemon and Sheena, the transfer of the Croatian midfielder was lost. The stately midfielder went through the school of Dynamo Zagreb, which already says a lot, however, he never made it to the base.
Nevertheless, the player is really interesting, athletic, with a good pass, a working left foot and the ability to disperse attacks.
Taking inexpensive Balkans to the center of the field is already a certain tradition of Kazakhstani clubs. Crncevic may well gain a foothold in the KPL, as Stefan Bukorac and Edin Rustemovich did earlier, who came to the league with about the same background.
Daniil Beskorovayny, "Astana"
This is not the first world champion under 20 years in the "Astana", because we all remember the Serbian Nemanja Maksimovic. Perhaps Beskorovayny will follow the same path, and Astana will help the player revive a slightly slowed down career.
One way or another, such transfers of legionnaires do not cause increased reflection, since the player is young, obviously with potential, who has achieved a high title in his age category.
The defensive line of the capital club was orphaned after the departure of almost all the main center backs, but it is Beskorovayny who seems to be a possible leader of the defense, even despite the arrival of such experienced players as Akhmetov and Rakhmanov.
Rafael Sabino, "Akzhayik"
Not all the players that Vladimir Mazyar brings from Ukraine shoot in Kazakhstan, but still positive examples sometimes happen. This number may include Brazilian midfielder Rafael Sabino. Behind him are three stable seasons in the top division of the Ukrainian championship, and this is definitely a good period in the player's resume. True, there is a nuance - in the 2021/22 season, the South American no longer played for the Lions, although, according to him, he had a contract, but half a year without practice is also a fact.
But the 25-year-old midfielder is able to become the new leader of Akzhaiyk and manage the game. A few years ago, in the same Uralsk, the Paraguayan Freddie Coronel appeared in this way, and then it turned out to be Akzhaiyk's transfer success, it is possible that Sabino will be just as effective.
Aria Barzegar, "Kairat"
Probably, the transfer of Artur Shushenachev will pave the way for the transfer of the Iranian Ariya Barzegar to Kairat. Obviously, the young player is the creation of Kurban Berdyev, who knows the Iranian market well. Barzegar is still a "raw" striker, but obviously capable, because he already scored a goal in the first test match for Almaty.
And I must say that the nickname "New Azmun" was not invented for him in Kazakhstan, but just at home. Such comparisons are not accidental, Barzegar is similar to the Bayer striker in style and anthropometry, but now requires laborious individual work with him. Berdyev may well raise a new classy striker, because once even Alexander Bukharov played for him.
