Former “Zenit” football player Pavel Pogrebnyak explained why the St. Petersburg club is more famous than the Moscow “Spartak” club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that to achieve fame as a former player of the Russian national team, it is necessary to prove one's strength and win trophies. Unfortunately, the capital club does not have such achievements.
Therefore, in his opinion, “Zenit” is currently more famous. These words were quoted by the “Sport-Express” publication.
It is worth noting that last season, the St. Petersburg club secured second place in the Russian championship standings. It finished just one point behind “Krasnodar,” ending a six-season championship streak.
This result demonstrates that “Zenit” is a strong and stable team. Additionally, the club's popularity and fan attention are increasing.
This creates a positive foundation for the team's future successes.
