Former Russian striker Ruslan Pimenov named St. Petersburg's "Zenit" team as the main contender for the championship in the upcoming season of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that the "Zenit" team has a strong squad and expressed confidence that they will be the main competitors for the championship. Pimenov also mentioned that the "Spartak" team needs to strengthen as well, since they have made serious transfers and must justify these expenses on the field.
Last season, the "Zenit" team finished in second place for the first time since 2019, but fell short by one point to "Krasnodar." They also missed the opportunity to win the Russian Cup, as "Zenit" lost to CSKA Moscow in the final in a penalty shootout.
At the same time, Pimenov highlighted the importance of teams striving to improve their future games. This will further enhance competition between teams and provide exciting matches for the fans.
