The former head coach of Zenit, Vlastimil Petrzhela, suggested how the Petersburgers, as well as Moscow’s Spartak, could perform in the English football pyramid.
– Zenit in the Premier League would be in the top five of the championship, and Spartak in the Championship (the second division in terms of level – Approx. ed.). Semak’s team could play well in England with such a selection of players. But the Red-Whites would not be able to play in the Premier League in any way, they are weak in order to play with the best teams in England. Their level is RPL, – Petrzhel is quoted by RB Sport.
This season, Zenit, Spartak and CSKA share the first place in the Russian Championship table, with 7 points each.
The 4th round of the WORLD RPL starts on Saturday with the match between Ural and Spartak.
