Captain”Zenith » Douglas Santos in a conversation with , he said that the “bleu-blanc-bleu” went to the RPL match against CSKA exclusively for the victory.
Sunday’s game of the seventh round of the RPL World Cup in Moscow ended with the score 1:1. The guests responded to Anton Zabolotny’s goal (4th minute) with the ball from Douglas Santos two minutes before the end of regulation time.
– Your goal, which allowed Zenit to equalize the score in the game against CSKA, turned out to be a real captain – it was not scored from your position, but just in time.
– The task of the captain is to protect his team, to always be a mountain for them. I’m happy that on that day God blessed me and all of Zenit and that we didn’t lose in that game. It would be unfair. And of course, I am very happy that God has chosen me for the role of the one who, with a goal scored, will bring us at least one point. I’m happy to have managed to score.
– How do you assess the first segment of the championship for Zenit?
– Of course, we wanted to take a break from the championship, occupying a more familiar position in the standings. It’s higher. That’s also why we went to the last game before the break with CSKA exclusively for a win. But even this point of invincibility shows the character of Zenit, their team spirit and that we have real fighters. We never give up and always fight until the end. So in the game against CSKA they tried to score and they finally succeeded. Now, during the break, you have to breathe, rest when there are several days off, spend this time with your loved ones and resume the season with renewed vigor,” Douglas Santos told .
In the next round, Zenit will face Rubin Kazan on September 17.
