Athletistic / Football. Former Russian national team midfielder Alexander Mostovoy believes that Spartak has significantly lower transfer efficiency than Zenit. According to him, this is why the red-whites have performed significantly worse than the blue-white-blues in recent years.
Zenit has a more restrained transfer policy than Spartak. I am sure that the St. Petersburgers would not buy the same Ugalde, who no one really knows, for 13 million euros. This is the reason for Zenit’s leadership over the past five years. Their transfers are much more efficient.
“Zenit performs much better than Spartak in the transfer market, hence the results,” Mostovoy said according to RB Sport.
Zenit has scored 36 points in 18 matches and is in second place in the RPL standings, two points behind leader Krasnodar. “Spartak” with 30 points to its credit is now fifth in the national championship.
