Although the hosts were eliminated by Croatia on penalties in the quarterfinal clash, this can't shadow the highlight performance of Golovin.

Golovin is considered by many as the most talented Russian player in the last decade after Andrey Arshavin. It's not easy to define his role, but it's not hard to conclude that he usually does a good job.

In the emotional opening match in which Russia crushed Saudi Arabia 5-0, Golovin dominated the front pages although Denis Cheryshev, who replaced injured Alan Dzagoev, was rated the man of the match.

The playmaker now is closely linked with a summer move to Serie A giant Juventus. The Bianconeri have offered 20m to CSKA Moscow for Golovin, but after his wonderful performance in this World Cup, higher price is expected.
