Alexander Medvedev, the chairman of the "Zenit" management, expressed his opinion about the most popular club in Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the popularity of the "Zenit" club is undeniable, and these figures are based on facts. Medvedev stated that "Spartak" fans may disagree with this, as they consider their team to be the most popular.
However, analyses show that "Zenit" has a broader popularity in Russia. He believes that "Spartak" can only be ahead of "Zenit" in terms of popularity in the city of Moscow.
Last season, the "Zenit" team secured the second place in the Russian championship, while "Spartak" remained in fourth place. These figures also reflect the current status of the teams.
In Medvedev's opinion, popularity is related not only to achievements but also to the historical reputation of the team. Therefore, it is natural for "Zenit" to be the most recognized football club in Russia.
