“Zenit” is a contender for the championship, but it needs to strengthen its game

Former “Zenit” head coach Vlastimil Petrjela evaluated the team's performance at the beginning of the season and its chances for gold medals at the end of the championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Vlastimil Petrjela, the current results are not considered a failure for “Zenit.” In his opinion, the season is not over yet, and there are many games ahead.

Other teams have also lost points, which is a common situation in football. “Zenit” is still regarded as the main contender for the championship, but the team needs to improve its game further.

Yesterday, St. Petersburg's “Zenit” played a 1:1 draw against Moscow's CSKA club at home. Previously, the team under Sergey Semak also dropped points in a match against “Rubin,” ending in a 2:2 draw.

So far, “Zenit” has secured its only victory in the first round against “Rostov” with a score of 2:1. Next Saturday, the “Zenit” team will travel to Grozny to face the “Akhmat” club.

Therefore, the team's next game could affect its chances of competing for the championship. For now, “Zenit” remains the main contender for the championship, but the team needs to work on improving its results.
