There will continue to be changes in the Zenit St. Petersburg squad during the current transfer period. This was also stated by the head coach of the blue-white-blue team Sergei Semak, whose words were quoted. “Match TV”.
“The transfer window has opened, there will be changes. Someone will leave. Let’s see how many players will leave the team according to the offers. First of all, this applies to players who want to get more playing practice. We will think about who we can leave. There is still enough time, a lot can happen,” said the expert.
Zenit have won the RPL title six times in a row, equalling the record set by Spartak Moscow, who won the Russian championship from 1996 to 2001. The blue-white and sky-blues will celebrate the club’s centenary in 2025.
Moreover, last season Sergei Semak’s team was able to win the championship only in the last round, and before that it was in second place. Three clubs participated in the race, and Zenit’s fate depended on the match between the rivals – Krasnodar and the leader Dynamo. Muscovites were happy with the draw, but they could become champions if the “bulls” won and Zenit lost points with Rostov. As a result, Krasnodar won with a score of 1:0, and Zenit managed to achieve a strong victory (2:1) over the Rostovites, eventually scoring a decisive goal and securing another championship.
