“Ural” is capable of creating problems “Zenith”, says Radimov

ex-captainZenith » Vladislav Radimov told RB Sport that he considers the “bleus-blancs-bleus” favorites in the match of the 21st day of the WORLD RPL against “Urals ”, but the people of Yekaterinburg can cause problems for the people of St. Petersburg.

– “Ural”, of course, can cause problems for “Zenith” at the “Gazprom Arena”. St. Petersburg has been unable to win the last three matches, including a friendly match in Turkey. Yes, and Khimki had already beaten him at the last minute… And the Urals are a strong team that can cause trouble. It just won’t happen, but make no mistake about it – Zenit are still the favorites, the league leaders, playing at home, – said Radimov.

– Don’t you think that the incessant repetition of the mantra “Zenith is the favourite” sometimes makes a cruel joke to the team?

– Well, how to say if it is the leader of the championship, without five minutes the champion of the country. And he plays at home with the Urals. To say that the Urals is the favorite? Of course not.

– Will the Urals try to impose their game on Saint Petersburg? Or will it close?

– It will be very interesting. With the same “Spartak” “Ural” came out and put pressure on the Spartak team to barely cross the center of the field. But the same “Khimki”, for example, at the “Gazprom Arena” did not close and played well. But Dynamo, on the contrary, scored in the cup match and fell back – as a result, Zenit equalized. I think in the game with the Urals at the start of the game there can be a tactic, gradually it can be transformed.

Zenit after 20 laps continues to lead in the standings. The Urals are in 10th place with 25 points.

On April 1, Zenit will play with Urals in the WORLD RPL 21st round match. Watch the live broadcast of the match starting at 6:30 p.m. (Moscow time) on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
