Coach of the Russian national football team Nikolai Pisarev believes that Petersburg “Zenith” due to participation in the PARI Cup, the Prime Minister took advantage of Moscow CSKA before the match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup.
Zenit beat Neftchi Baku (3:1) in the international tournament, lost to Red Star Belgrade (1:2) and also beat Fenerbahce Istanbul (0:0, 4:3 – pen). The Super Cup match will take place on July 15 in Kazan.
– The PARI Premier Cup is a handicap for Zenit. There were three games with very good opponents. Sergei Semak’s puzzle is to manage so many players, to define the optimal composition. Probably, the last match with Fenerbahce gave an answer to this.
And Vladimir Fedotov told us in the spring that he was playing with one clip. Now not much has changed, the players have left and no one has come yet. We know how CSKA plays under Fedotov, we know the scheme and we will also guess the line-up faster than Zenit.
The preparation of the army team can be judged by the friendly cup with Dynamo. But those games were more like a show, and the lineups were like that, and CSKA didn’t look optimal. But I want to remind you that last year the army team finished last in the BET Premier Cup. At the same time, the “red-blue” became the second in the RPL and won the country’s Cup. Therefore, there is no need to overestimate the importance of pre-season tournaments,” said Pisarev in All for the Match! on the channel.
Watch the live broadcast of the Zenit-CSKA match starting at 4:00 p.m. on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites. The starting whistle will sound at 5:00 p.m.
