According to the expert, the team is showing a really good class and at the moment no one can impose competition on it. However, Bulykin emphasizes that there are teams that can play on equal terms with Petersburgers and beat them.
“I can’t say that Zenit is a clear hegemon, they are just good at bringing the matches to a conclusion. So where is Zenit in the Russian Cup? They have lost matches in the championship. Most of the matches are won, of course, they show a good class, they have long queues. But I don’t like that. I wouldn’t call it a hegemony. Even PSG and Bayern are losing to some average and weak clubs in their championships, so we love football. It’s a bit humiliating of course that nobody can compete with Zenit. Still, there are clubs that can easily play with Zenit and show results. And I think next season Zenit will no longer be able to compete. he will not have such an advantage, because there will be many changes in the teams, ”said Bulykin socialbites.ca.
