Six times champion of Russia with “Spartacus” Egor Titov told that the decision “Zenith” let the best football player go to the Moscow club Vladimir Bystrov was a big mistake for the St. Petersburg team.
Bystrov played for Zenit in 2002-2005 and 2009-2014, for Spartak in 2005-2009.
– Remember, when Bystrov moved to Spartak, what did he say in the dressing room about Zenit? Did you feel he would be chased into all parts of the field?
“It was a big help to us. Imagine, today, conditionally, Malcom moves to Spartak or Promes to Zenit. Bystrov at that time was a very valuable asset: young, fast, angry with the club. From then on, we understood that we could play on it. By the way, Vova repeatedly annoyed them. He regularly got penalties, including in St. Petersburg in that winning match with the score 4: 1 (in the season 2006 – approx). Then, for Zenit, letting Bystrov go was a huge mistake. I don’t know why it happened.
Vova said a lot of things. He’s a loud, positive guy. They knew that if he joked, everyone would laugh. And in St. Petersburg later they realized the mistake and sent her back. But it was a slightly different Bystrov.
– Did Bystrov’s departure from Spartak really affect the hands of the championship? It was said that he was literally kidnapped in Moscow.
– I was no longer in Spartak, but it really was. Everything was decided there at the leadership level, Titov told .
