The head coach “Zenith » Sergey Semak said he did not think about the return of Russian clubs to European cups.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from participating in international tournaments since February 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine.
— Are you considering returning to European competition?
“I don’t plan that far.” The Eurocups, and especially the Champions League, are a decent bonus that teams receive. In terms of atmosphere and level of teams, this is the strongest club tournament to date. Everyone wants to play it, but not everything goes well. We spend most of our time in our league. This is our main job.
— The day after tomorrow, Zenit will play with Neftchi in Baku. Have you ever been to this city?
— I was in Baku, I really liked the city. Hopefully there will be some time to wander around and take a look. As a person who loves to travel, it will be interesting for me to watch Baku as it develops,” reports a correspondent, reporting Semak’s words.
The “WINLINE SUPERGAME” between “Neftchi” and “Zenith” will take place on Saturday, November 18.
Watch the live broadcast of the Neftchi – Zenit match on November 18 from 7:55 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
