Ilya Abaev, the former goalkeeper of Tashkent's Lokomotiv team, shared his thoughts on the chances of St. Petersburg's Zenit club winning the Russian Premier League championship this season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Abaev, Zenit will fight for the championship until the end and will remain among the main contenders. However, this time winning the championship will not be as easy as before.
He emphasized that the likelihood of achieving dominance is low, as it was in previous years. For reference, last season, the Zenit players, under the leadership of Sergey Semak, finished in second place in the competition standings.
The championship title was first won by the Krasnodar team. This result was a significant event in the history of Russian football.
This season, the battle for the championship is expected to be even more intense. The Zenit team has set high goals for itself and will test its capabilities against strong rivals.
Therefore, the competition for the championship this year may be stronger than before.
