Former CSKA coach Alexander Tarkhanov told RB Sport that in the new season Moscow teams will impose “Zenith serious competition in the fight for the championship.
On Saturday in Kazan, Zenit defeated CSKA in the OLIMPBET Russian Supercup match. The main time of the match ended with the score 0:0, the club from St. Petersburg won on penalties – 5:4.
– All the latest head-to-head meetings between Zenit and CSKA show that the army team is capable of imposing competition on the people of Petersburg. Muscovites were not inferior to Zenit in terms of play, the team was already ripe to qualify for gold. You have to step up a bit, and then the chances will be much higher.
I think that in the new season of the RPL, Zenit will not be the only contender for the championship, the Moscow teams will impose a serious fight on them. It seems to me that in the 2023/24 season it will be more difficult for Petersburg than before. Especially if CSKA, Spartak and Lokomotiv continue to strengthen, Tarkhanov said.
The new MIR RPL season starts on July 21 with the Dynamo-Krasnodar match. will broadcast three first-round matches live: Lokomotiv – Rubin (July 22, 5:15 p.m.), Akhmat – Wings of the Soviets (July 22, 7:45 p.m.) and Sochi – “Baltika” (July 23, 7:45 p.m.).
