“It’s difficult to keep the bar high from year to year, sometimes the team sags a little” – Orenburg midfielder Oganesyan about Zenit
Orenburg midfielder Stepan Oganesyan suggested what the latest failures of Zenit are connected with.
On Saturday, Orenburg beat Zenit at home in the match of the 10th round of the WORLD RPL with a score of 3:1. The defending champion suffered its third defeat of the season. During the entire last season of the RPL, the St. Petersburg team lost only twice.
“I don’t think this has anything to do with five championships in a row. All teams have ups and downs. From year to year it is difficult to keep the bar high, sometimes the team sags a little. Maybe the team hasn’t been fully updated, they don’t understand all the nuances. Maybe the departure of key players played a role. I think it’s ok. Moreover, not many rounds have passed and Zenit has time to fix everything,” the Championship quotes Oganesyan.
Zenit scored 17 points. The club is in 4th place in the standings, 7 points behind the leading Krasnodar.
