Former Krasnodar forward Zenit and Russian national team Maxim Demenko talked about the teams’ fight for first place in the Russian Premier League (RPL) rankings. In a statement to socialbites.ca, he stated that the “bulls” will not forgive the blue-white-blue for losing points in the championship, and also appreciated the victory of Sergei Semak’s team over Akhmat.
“At least now the team is more collected, we see a slightly different football and Semak himself speaks differently. Despite the fact that Akhmat played very well against Zenit, Romashchenko is building a really good team, the main thing is that the management trusts him.
We saw where Zenit had problems. Maybe Akhmat can develop two or three positions, and it is not yet known what will happen. However, Zenit understands that it is behind and if it does not get points now, Krasnodar will not give it a chance. Today Zenit is not better than Krasnodar, and Krasnodar is not better than Zenit. However, St. “Residents of St. Petersburg can afford to buy any football player in case of injury or other problem, and Semak knows this very well,” says Demenko.
In the 13th round of RPL, Zenit beat Akhmat 2:1. In contrast, Krasnodar suffered its first defeat in the current RPL draw, losing 0:1 to CSKA.
