“Krasnodar” looks solid, it is a worthy competitor in the fight for gold” – Mantuan

Zenit midfielder Gustavo Mantuan answered a question about the main competitors of St. Petersburg in the fight for gold medals in the Russian football championship.

The first part of the MIR RPL season ended on December 10, with Krasnodar going into the break as the leader. Vladimir Ivich’s team scored 38 points in 18 matches and is two points ahead of Zenit in the standings.

— “Krasnodar” is the current leader, and therefore, of course, a worthy competitor, more than anything. The team looks very solid. This season they are losing very few points, playing confidently, winning and, I repeat, it is not in vain that they are leading. Therefore, it is especially difficult to compete with them this season.

Of the other teams, I would also single out Dynamo. This is also a team with very high qualifications, with a great selection of players who also do a lot of work, especially recently they have been playing great. And so, I think that, along with Zenit, Krasnodar and Dynamo will lead the main fight for the championship this season,” RB Sport quotes Mantuana as saying.
