Former striker of the Russian national team Dmitry Sychev evaluated the current balance of power in the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“Who will be able to impose competition on Zenith? It is unclear how other clubs will achieve this. Until equal conditions are provided for all. What conditions? All – let’s say in general.
But objectively, Zenit has strong players. When they give their best, competitors don’t stand a chance. But there is intrigue, and this is the most important thing.
How did the St. Petersburg club keep the Brazilians? Maybe they are patriots of our country? – quotes the words of the former football player “Pair TV”.
Recall, on June 21, the International Football Federation (FIFA) extended permission to suspend the contracts of legionnaires playing in the RPL until June 30, 2023.
This right has already been used by many foreign players. The current champion, Zenit, has managed to retain almost all of its legionnaires. But Brazilian Yuri Alberto went to his homeland, where he will play for Corinthians until the end of the season. Blue-white-blue signed new contracts with Wendel, Malcolm and Claudinho.
