Petersburg”Zenith “will become the champion of Russia in the 2022/23 season, and Moscow will beat him”Spartacus “Even Santa Claus will not help,” said the six-time Russian champion and ex-captain of the “red and white” in an interview with “”. Egor Titov .
Zenit won the last four Russian championships, after 17 rounds this season the team scored 42 points and took first place. Spartak are second with 36 points.
– Have you thought about the Spartak championship this season for the new year?
– I don’t think even Santa Claus will help. It must be admitted that today there is Zenit and other teams. If we remove Zenit, there will be competition in the RPL. I remember how we were told in the 90s: “We won the championship two rounds before the end, you have no competitors.” And Zenit becomes the champion 3-4 laps before the end. What competition are we talking about?
Zenit is the strongest club in Russia, the truth must be said. Unfortunately, Spartak, CSKA, Lokomotiv and Dynamo cannot fully compete with the St. Petersburg club. They have a powerful owner who oversees a large number of sports.
“But the question here is who uses their opportunities and how.
– If Gazprom wants a particular football player or hockey player, he will end up in Zenit or SKA.
– Who prevented Spartak from buying one or two players for 15-20 million euros instead of a dozen players for 3-4, who were removed from the team a year later? The same goes for coaching by leaps and bounds lately.
– Yes. Unfortunately, it’s management. We all swear, but Gazprom has managers who know and feel, choose the best solutions that are beneficial. There was Hulk and Witsel, today – Wendel and Claudinho with Malcolm. I heard they want to see Wendel in Europe, but can they give him the finances he has at Zenith? I doubt it, Titov told .
