Former Dynamo head coach Sergei Silkin told RT that Zenit would have taken a place in the second ten of the English championship if they played in the Premier League.
– I think if Zenit played in the Premier League, it would take a place in the second ten, but would not participate in passing matches. And the skill level of the players there would grow. And in the championship of Russia, the fate of meetings for Petersburgers is often decided before the starting whistle. Opponents are simply afraid of them and give up even before the game. They don’t even have to make an effort,” Silkin said.
After 9 rounds, MIR RPL Zenit is in first place with 23 points. In the match of the 10th round, the Blue-White-Blues will play Dynamo in Moscow on Saturday.
Watch the live broadcast of the meeting from 19:00 on Match TV, MATCH PREMIER channels and on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
