Russian football coach Gadzhi Gadzhiev talked about the competition in the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“Of course, Zenit will always have a little more chance until the level of funding with competitors is equalized. However, if the level of funding differs by an order of magnitude, then still sometimes competitors can win championships. We see this in other countries as well.
Usually, teams with more financial stability and tradition win the championship. But at the same time, unexpected winners sometimes emerge, such as Leicester in England. And the fight there usually lasts until the final round,” the expert quotes Vprognoze.ru.
Defeating Spartak Moscow (3: 2) in the 26th round of the RPL on May 7, Zenit became the champion of Russia ahead of schedule.
For the Sergei Semak team, this is the fifth championship in a row. The club from St. Petersburg will now compete in a two-star jersey.
In the remaining rounds, Zenit will play with Krasnodar, Orenburg, Sochi and Fakel Voronezh.
Former commentator Orlov declarationThat Zenit is strong with the system, not with individual players.
