Former footballerZenith » Andrey Arshavin said that the St. Petersburg club naturally defeated Qatari Al-Duhail in the Tie Cup.
The match took place on Monday in Rayyan (Qatar) and ended with a score of 2:0, with goals from Claudinho and Arthur.
— “Zenith” quite easily and calmly beat a team of a lower class. All players played almost the entire game, so they completed the tasks assigned to them. Honestly, it was difficult to single out any Zenit player in the first half other than Claudinho. The opponents did not cross the center of the field at all during the first 20 minutes. Then Zenit calmed down and allowed the Qataris to enter their half. Semak’s team accomplished its task and won.
Pedro was good last training camp, but today his game didn’t work. But it is worth noting that he makes the right decisions beyond his age, of course, he is a talented footballer,” Arshavin said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!” .
Zenit’s next opponent in the tournament will be Chinese Shanghai Shenhua, coached by Russian specialist Leonid Slutsky. The game will take place on February 8.
