Former CSKA Moscow midfielder Zoran Tosic expressed satisfaction with how the army club has performed in the current Russian Premier League season, even as Zenit St. Petersburg sits at the top and looks to clinch the title. He joked that he would rather see his country in the spotlight by preferring Zenit to be in second place, not his former club. Tosic’s remarks were shared by sports24 as he reflected on the league race and CSKA’s place within it.
As the season nears its end, with four rounds still to play, Zenit has surged ahead, posting a leading score that has left rivals trailing. CSKA, while not yet catching up, has shown genuine fight and resilience, moving toward a finish that could still redefine the final standings. The table at present shows Zenit ahead with a significant gap, while CSKA holds a solid second tier of the table, a sign of the club’s persistent push this term.
In the broader picture of Russian football, Rostov occupies the third slot, and Spartak Moscow stands fourth, rounding out the top four as the campaign progresses. The battle for European qualification and domestic bragging rights remains intense, with each remaining fixture carrying added weight for every club involved.
Looking ahead, CSKA is scheduled to face Torpedo on May 13, a match that is set to kick off at 19:00 Moscow time. The encounter promises to be a pivotal moment in the race for the higher end of the table, with both teams aiming to maximize their points tally in front of their supporters.
Meanwhile, transfers and contract talks continue to make headlines. Sergei Pushkin, the agent for CSKA defender Georgy Shchennikov, indicated that the player is exploring options as the club chose not to renew his contract. The ongoing discussions signal a potential move that could reshape the defensive lineup for CSKA in the near future, highlighting the churn that often accompanies a competitive league season.
All told, the season remains a study in momentum and resilience. Tosic’s comments underscore a sense of healthy competition, and the current standings reflect the depth of talent across the league. Fans and analysts alike watch closely to see how the final weeks unfold, with every match shaping the narrative of the Russian Premier League as 2025 draws to a close. (Source: sports24)”
