Famous former Russian football player Valery Masalitin said in a statement to socialbites.ca that it is too early to consider Krasnodar, which is the leader in the Russian Premier League after eight weeks, as a real rival for the championship.
“Krasnodar announced some of its trump cards. The team is complete, the team can compete. How long will it last at a distance? I think it’s too early to make any indication that this will be a contender. Let’s wait for the winter break and see how they will get through this period. And then it will be visible. We remember how Krasnodar had good spells before, followed by series of draws and defeats of three, four or five matches. “Will they be able to withstand this psychological burden or not?” – noted the expert.
Krasnodar scored 18 points in eight rounds and led the RPL standings until Samara’s Krylya Sovetov beat Sochi at home (2:1) in the ninth round. Now “KS” is equal to the “bulls” in terms of points, but is in the lead in additional indicators. In the ninth round, “Krasnodar” will host “Ural” from Yekaterinburg.
