Famous local football player Maxim Demenko, who played in Krasnodar throughout his professional career, told socialbites.ca that being first in the first round of the Russian Premier League means a lot for the southern club.
“It’s nice for each team to complete 15 laps, finish the first round and stay in first place. Especially for the first time in five years. This is a great success for Krasnodar. Even how he will take on this leadership role is interesting. How the team will behave in case of failure or some problems. I think it is good that Krasnodar is in first place. The championship is even more interesting. And in general, each of the teams at the bottom of the table can compete against absolutely everyone,” Demenko emphasized.
With three rounds left before the end of the first part of the season, Krasnodar is in first place in the RPL with 32 points after 15 matches played. The champion of the last five seasons, St. Petersburg Zenit has 30 points.
Former player of Spartak statedCSKA coach can lead absolutely any team.
