After 20 rounds of the RPL, Zenit St. Petersburg is in the lead in the standings.
The former striker of the Russian national football team Igor Kolyvanov said whether Dynamo could impose competition on Zenit in the fight for the championship in the RPL.
“I don’t think that Dynamo in the current situation will be a big competitor to Zenit. And in terms of selection of players, and in terms of class, Zenit still surpasses all clubs in our football. Dynamo had a chance, the defeat from Spartak did not nullify it, but five points from Zenit will be very difficult to win back. Plus morale. There were two points, and five – quite another.
Plus, Ordets, the main defender, left Dynamo. They have problems in defense, I’m generally afraid that Dynamo may drop to third or fourth position, especially since CSKA has crept up there, only three points behind. As a former Dynamo player, of course, I supported and worried about Dynamo. But Zenit always has a margin of safety, plus a good bench. I think that Zenit will not give up the championship to anyone, ”Kolyvanov conveys the words “Gazeta.Ru”.
After 20 rounds of the RPL, Zenit scored 44 points and is 5 points ahead of Dynamo, which is in second place.
Earlier it was reported that the St. Petersburg club can leave top scorer in the country.
