Former player of the Russian national team and Zenit Roman Shirokov in an interview with the publication “Rating bookmakers” criticized FC Krasnodar for his team character.
“Krasnodar has a problem with character – they position themselves as poor and unfortunate from the environment everyone offends. They do not believe in themselves from the very beginning, and this is already rooted in Krasnodar. Therefore, they fail at any milestone. Unfortunately for them this has always been the case. If they start to put themselves in a different place in Krasnodar, then it will be a completely different story. What do I wish them, ”said Shirokov.
In the last season of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Krasnodar finished sixth. Petersburg “Zenith” became the champion. The difference of Sergei Semak’s team from second place was 12 points. The silver of the championship went to CSKA. The top three winners were closed by Spartak.
