Mostovoy's comments landed as the league heads into its decisive stretch. Zenit's pursuers will have to hope for dropped points if the Petersburg side keeps its current form. His remarks have set off debate among fans about scheduling and balance in the RPL. For now, he is sticking with the Saint Petersburg club as the favorite.
