Director General of Saint Petersburg UniversityZenith » Alexander Medvedev said the team’s foreign players intended to continue playing for the club.
Due to the situation in Ukraine, some legionnaires terminated contracts with Russian teams.
– At Zenit, no one expresses a desire to leave the club. As for the legionnaires, I can talk not only about football, but also about hockey and basketball. Many players from Canada and the United States have confirmed their desire to play in the KHL and VTB United League. We will see not only first-class Russian players, but also strong foreign players.
Also, in addition to countries that have registered themselves as hostile, there are also friendly and neutral countries. Their population exceeds the population of hostile countries. They play football, hockey and basketball there,” Life.ru quoted Medvedev as saying.
The Blue-White-Blues CEO also touched on a potential model for hosting the Russian Premier League (RPL) Cup.
– The RFU and the RPL will examine the League Cup project on the model of the Champions League. There may be a so-called double elimination, while the first defeat in the playoffs does not mean relegation. Teams will have the opportunity to advance from below to the superfinal. The matches will be, they will be interesting. There is hope to collect a serious prize, make a nice cup and play in ‘two days for third’ or ‘three days for fourth’ mode,” Medvedev said.
