Former CSKA head coach Alexander Tarkhanov told RB Sport that in the new season, Moscow teams will impose serious competition on Zenit in the fight for the championship.

On Saturday in Kazan, Zenit defeated CSKA in the match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup. The main time of the match ended with a score of 0:0, the club from St. Petersburg won on penalties – 5:4.

– All the latest face-to-face meetings between Zenit and CSKA show that the army team is able to impose competition on Petersburgers. The Muscovites were not inferior to Zenit in terms of the game, the team was already ripe in order to qualify for gold. You need to step up a little, and then the chances will be much greater.

I think that in the new RPL season, Zenit will not be the only contender for the championship, the Moscow teams will impose a serious fight on him. It seems to me that in the 2023/24 season it will be more difficult for the Petersburgers than before. Especially if CSKA, Spartak and Lokomotiv continue to get stronger, Tarkhanov said.

The new season of the MIR RPL starts on July 21 with the Dynamo-Krasnodar match. Match TV will show live three matches of the first round: Lokomotiv – Rubin (July 22, 17:15), Akhmat – Wings of the Soviets (July 22, 19:45) and Sochi – “Baltika” (July 23, 19:45).
