The two goals scored today against Khimki enabled Dmitry Sychev to join the CLUB 100 - an initiative took by Russian sport newspaper Sport Express to recognize those Russians players who score 100 or more goals in official matches of the highest level*. The goals, which were the 99th and the 100th respectively also allowed Dmitry Sychev to win his bet with former Lokomotiv coach Rashid Rakhimov - that is to score a minimum of 12 goals this season. In your face Rashid!! It is important to note that the 12 goals came under the guidance of the great Yury Semin, thus meaning 12 goals in 17 appearances - a rate of circa 0.7 goals per match!
Moreover this season also resulted to be Dmitry Sychev's second best in his career at Lokomotiv. The 12 goals scored meant that he surpassed the 11 goals he scored in 2007. Recall that his personal best stands at 15 goals, achieved in 2004.
From this blog I wish to congratulate Dmitry Sychev - you are my hero!! All the Best for the future!!
