Kobelev called the Dynamo squad the second strongest in the RPL after Zenit

Former Dynamo head coach Andrei Kobelev believes that the Moscow club has the second strongest squad in the WORLD Russian Premier League after Zenit St. Petersburg.

On Sunday, Dynamo beat Orenburg at home with a score of 2:0 in the match of the 15th round of the RPL. The team with 25 points is in third place in the standings and is five points behind Zenit (30), which is second.

“Dynamo played this half of the championship in a rather unique way. Many people complained about the defense, and then something broke in the attack. But according to the results of the first half of the championship, the team is still in third place. Whether the championship is good or bad – this must be judged when we participate in the European Cups. I said from the beginning of the season that almost half of the team is new. It’s good that Dynamo, despite all the failures, when there were matches that Dynamo should have won, taking the lead, is still in third place.

— Will the team try to strengthen its roster?

— This is a question for the club’s management, but from my point of view, Dynamo’s squad is already second in the league after Zenit. We see that Krasnodar plays with almost the same lineup and sags in the end. Zenit can produce two or three quality players. Dynamo, accordingly, can also rotate the squad. Several people are injured, but will also recover. I don’t know how possible it is to buy someone, especially in today’s difficult conditions,” Metaratings.ru quotes Kobelev.
