My Take
Aliyev is a specialist, and I have a soft spot for specialists. Debuting for Dynamo Kyiv at just seventeen and a half, this Khabarovsk-born Ukrainian midfielder built his reputation on direct free kicks struck with almost artistic precision. There is pure romance in a player who can settle a match with one dead ball, especially one who is not physically imposing at 173 cm. That single, decisive weapon makes him endlessly watchable in my book. His move into coaching after retirement pleases me too; I would love to see him pass that craft to a new generation. Artisans of one perfect skill always win me over.
