Zenit forward Andrei Arshavin is revitalized now he is playing regularly again after months on the bench as a substitute at Arsenal, he said in website comments Thursday.
The 30-year-old Russia captain has made eight appearances for Zenit since rejoining his old club from Arsenal in the winter break.
Initially used sparingly by coach Luciano Spalletti, Arshavin has gone on to score three goals in his last four and has been involved in crucial goal-scoring moves that have helped them secure their second-straight title with three games to spare.
"I'm working on it," he said, referring to his form. "On the whole, now I feel good on the pitch. I'm pleased that we're seeing results. A lot is coming off, though not everything. There is still time to improve," Arshavin said.
Spalletti brought Arshavin on loan until the end of the season to fill the creative void left by Portuguese midfielder Miguel Danny, who tore a knee ligament in February training.
Spending the run-in with Zenit has helped the diminutive forward gain critical playing time ahead of Euro 2012, where he is expected to figure heavily.
He has vowed to decide his future after the tournament, which ends July 1.
Meanwhile, the focus was on the Spartak Moscow game on Sunday, the club's penultimate match of the season at last at home, where they are to receive the Premier League trophy.
"This is a fundamental game for Petersburg," Arshavin said. "The team has been awaiting it, our last home game of the season at Petrovsky. We need to go out on a high note."
Zenit have 85 points, 13 ahead of CSKA Moscow in second. Dynamo are third on 70 points, with Spartak a further point back.
