Former FC Krasnodar player **[Alexander Martynovich](** shared his thoughts on the team’s championship win in the Russian Premier League.

“In Krasnodar, everyone was incredibly thrilled about the championship, as the club had worked hard for this moment. It might not have been obvious, but the club always set high goals. There’s not a lot of big transfers at Krasnodar—only Cordoba, really. Perhaps that makes the championship even more valuable. It turns out that it’s not just substantial investments and transfers that can lead to winning titles.

I kept in touch with everyone at Krasnodar. I congratulated all those I had worked closely with for a long time. I still maintain a warm relationship with them. In a way, they also congratulated me on the championship, saying, ‘You are part of the team’s journey; this victory is also yours,’” Martynovich said in an interview with Championship correspondent Ilya Nikulnikov.
