Athletistic/Football. Former head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov commented on the championship race of the current RPL season.

“We need to put emphasis. You can be in second place, but be 25 points behind first. You are second, but you can’t compete. Let Krasnodar be in first place for now, the Zenit in second place, and let the others stay seated. “Here they are close. It is clear that this is a competitive environment. But I would like the Moscow teams to cause problems for the provincial clubs,” Cherchessov told Match TV.

After the first round, Krasnodar leads the championship, with 32 points from 15 matches. Zenit is in second place, 2 points behind the leader.
