Athletistic / Football. Former Soviet footballer Alexander Bubnov shared his impressions of the opening match of the Pari Premier Cup. In the opening match “Zenith” confidently defeated Azerbaijani “Neftchi” (3:1).

In the first half, the St. Petersburg team conceded, but after the break they responded with three accurate shots.

“Neftchi” is the weakest opponent of this tournament. And today he did not deliver serious problems to “Zenith”. The number of approaches can be counted on the fingers of one hand. “Zenith” was better physically, more ball possession. In the second half they added and got a good result.

For this game to draw conclusions about the game, “Zenith” makes no sense. The situation at the club is difficult, after the holidays there are a lot of questions about the line-up. Not everyone came, Wendel and Kuzyaev are on borrowed time… There are those who have just arrived, there are the injured. Sergey Semak cannot be satisfied with such uncertainty.

The BET Premier Cup is necessary for Zenit in order to form the optimal formation for the Super Bowl – Semak spoke about it. And after the Super Bowl, it will be possible to guess what the main championship team will look like. If everyone was in the collection, it would be easier for the technical staff to bring the players back to a common denominator. It’s a big problem. Last season “Zenith” lost points at the start – this year does not exclude. Competitors can have a chance to participate in the race for the championship”, quotes Sportbox Bubnov.
