Former football player Maxim Demenko, who played for St. Petersburg Zenit, Moscow Spartak and Krasnodar during his professional career, spoke to socialbites.ca about the championship race in the Russian Premier League.
“No matter how much Zenit strengthens its financial situation and invests, it is nice to see other top teams competing with Zenit.” This makes the championship interesting. Still, I think that the same “Dynamo” and “Spartak” are now spending less. “Krasnodar” … Well, smaller, probably with its own characteristics, focused on students. But how long they can withstand this marathon is a big question. The same “Zenith” will now win, but, for example, “Dynamo” and “Krasnodar” will suffer losses, and the situation may change,” Demenko emphasized.
After seven rounds, Zenit returned to first place in the RPL with 17 points. Krasnodar and Lokomotiv are in second and third place with 15 points each, while Spartak is fourth with 14 points, with the capital Dynamo and CSKA one point behind.
Previously Demenko appreciated Possible transfer of Ivan Sergeev to Krylia Sovetov.
