Defender Vanya Drkushic has provided insight into the team's mindset with just two crucial fixtures remaining on the calendar.\n\nIn a recent statement, the center-back emphasized that the squad is fully aware of the straightforward task ahead. The objective is simple: secure maximum points from the final two games. This means collecting all six available points, which would put them in the strongest possible position to challenge for the title.\n\nDrkushic's comments come at a critical juncture in the MIR RPL season. The title race has gone down to the wire, creating a thrilling finale for fans across Russia. Zenit finds itself in a direct battle for the top spot, needing to be perfect while hoping for a slip from the current leaders.\n\nThe current league standings paint a picture of an incredibly tight contest. After 28 rounds of matches, Zenit occupies second place in the table with 62 points. They are locked in a fierce pursuit of FC Krasnodar, who sit just one point ahead at the summit with 63 points.\n\nThis single-point deficit means the championship is still very much within Zenit's grasp. However, their fate is not entirely in their own hands. Even if they win both remaining matches, they would still need Krasnodar to drop points in at least one of their final fixtures to overtake them.\n\nThe defender's words suggest a professional environment focused on execution rather than the pressure of the situation. The team is channeling its energy into controlling what it can control: its own performance on the pitch. This pragmatic approach is often the hallmark of squads experienced in high-stakes title races.\n\nFor Zenit's supporters, these final two matches promise to be tense affairs. Every pass, tackle, and shot will carry immense weight as the club aims to add another league title to its storied history. The players, guided by comments like those from Drkushic, appear ready to embrace the challenge head-on.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","With two RPL matches left, Zenit defender Vanya Drkushic reveals the squad's focused mindset, needing six points to challenge Krasnodar for the championship.","327818675971166209","326135625054949376","Premier League","0","2026-05-07T12:33:52Z","zenit-defender-drkushic-discusses-team-mood-in-tight-rpl-title-race","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6459642-drkushich-rasskazal-ob-atmosfere-v-zenite-za-dva-tura-do-konca-sezona-rpl.html","326257688839196672","The Strongest",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326257611840163840","326257796423094272","326257611768860672","326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326257539962376192","326257546392244224",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"FC Krasnodar","Russia","Zenit","Anderlecht","Canada","Como","Nottingham Forest","Zenit Defender Drkushic Discusses Team Mood in Tight RPL Title Race",[76,106,136,159],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":95,"title":105},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
