Former Russia national team and Spain's Celta player Alexander Mostovoy named the main favorite of the new season of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, the Zenit team is in first place. Although the team faced setbacks last season, this time they will have even stronger motivation.
The team's main lineup consists of Brazilian players who play in excellent spirits. Additionally, Zenit's ability to pay high salaries and their absence from European cups gives the team an extra boost.
Last season, the St. Petersburg club finished second in the national championship table, collecting one point less than Krasnodar. The team, led by Sergey Semak, also failed to reach the final of the Russian Cup, losing to CSKA in the decisive match.
For this reason, Zenit aims to further strengthen its power in the new season and is considered a main contender for the championship.
