MOSCOW, June 6 Chairman of the board of directors of the Moscow football club «Spartak» Leonid Fedun said that the «red-whites» initially had no chance to compete for first place in the Russian Premier League (RPL) last season, since the entire tournament was «obsessed» with the championship of St. Petersburg «Zenith». In the RPL, «Spartak» became tenth with 38 points in 30 matches. Also, the “red-whites” won the Russian Cup for the first time since 2003, beating the capital’s “Dynamo” with a score of 2: 1 in the final. “From the very beginning, it was understood that we would not become champions, since the entire championship is fixated only on the championship of one team. But in the Cup, yes, it was possible to win,» Fedun said in a video interview published on the club's official YouTube channel.
