Zenit’s deputy head coach Anatoly Timoshchuk said that the blue-white-blue are the flagship of Russian football “RB Sports”.
“People’s team? I think Zenit is the flagship of Russian football. It’s not for nothing that we are five-time RPL champions. Many historical facts, of course, support Spartak. A lot of people support it,” Timoshchuk said.
In the last match of the Russian championship, Zenit defeated Krasnodar with a score of 2-1. Lucas Olasa put Krasnodar ahead in the 16th minute of the first half. Mateo Cassierra equalized the score right after the break, and with 26 minutes left in the match, Arthur brought the victory to Zenit with an accurate shot on Matvey Safonov’s goal. Already during stoppage time, Krasnodar player Vitor Tormena was sent off with a red card.
Zenit is in first place in the Russian Championship rankings with 47 points. “Krasnodar” ranks second with 43 points.
Previously in Krasnodar accused Zenit coach is lying.
