Zenit football coach Anatoly Timoshchuk compared three basketball players of the St. Petersburg club Alex Poythress, Omari Spellman and Xavier Moon with himself, as well as with other former players of the “blue-white-blue” Andrei Arshavin and Pavel Pogrebnyak.
— The composition has changed considerably. If we compare this list, say, with the Zenit football team in 2007, then who is Spellman, who is Bacon and who is Moon?
– It’s difficult to compare. Moon is probably more similar to Arshavin in his build. I’m probably more Poythress, because he’s so powerful and central. Spellman – Pasha Pogrebnyak. Some parallels can be drawn in a purely humorous way. But I think the guys need to add a little dedication. Because even according to Poythress, if we compare it with his previous performance for Zenit, he was more aggressive. Today he plays well and efficiently, but personally I expect more from him,” Tymoshchuk is quoted on the Zenit basketball website.
Tymoshchuk played for Zenit in 2007-2009 and 2013-2015, winning the UEFA Cup and being a two-time champion of Russia.
