For the 41st time in the weekly magazine "Futbol" selection in 2004, the best Russian player was chosen as Dimitrij Syčiovas, a teammate of Deividas Česnauskas in Moscow club.
The 21-year-old Syčiovas, with 15 goals in the Russian Premier League, helped "Lokomotiv" to take away the championship title from the city neighbor. Meanwhile, the football player who has played for the Russian national team 21 times this year increased his goal tally to ten.
