The holidays were great! I was happy to be with my friends and family. Of course, I took advantage of this time to restore my energy, gain strength. And, of course, to celebrate with our loved ones the title we won with Zenit. Moreover, it turned out to be historic – with this championship we got the second star on the club emblem.

And, of course, considering the three foreign teams, the tournament will be very interesting in itself.
