Win Some, Win All: Dmitry Sychev Names MVP and Predicts RPL Winner
Former Russian international striker Dmitry Sychev, in a recent chat with Match TV, shared his insights on the run for the Russian Premier League (RPL) trophy and named the star player of the season. According to Sychev, the standout performer in the RPL is midfielder Eduard Spertsyan of Krasnodar. He points out that the 24-year-old Armenian talents not only plays brilliantly but also steers his team, making him an ideal candidate for the MVP award. However, Sychev notes that the title should go to a player from the team taking the crown.
When asked about the ongoing title race, Sychev expressed his confidence in Krasnodar's ability to hold onto their lead over Zenit, who trail behind by 4 points (58 points for Krasnodar and 54 points for Zenit).
Sychev also expressed hope that the race will remain keen until the final whistle of the season, but he seems to favor the "bulls" (Krasnodar). It's worth noting that, in case of a tie, a playoff game could be in the offing, though Sychev left the specifics undiscussed. Summing up his thoughts, Sychev reminded everyone that in football, nothing is set in stone, not even a four-point lead with four games left.
(Did you know? As of now, Krasnodar leads the RPL with 58 points from 26 games, while Zenit follows closely in second place with 53 points from 25 matches.)
