Former head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov think he’s brazilian Douglas Santos can replace in the composition “Zenith” compatriot disqualified Vendela during the match of the 24th round of the MIR RPL with Krasnodar.
On Sunday, Zenit defeated Baltika in the 23rd round of the MIR RPL with a score of 1:0. Wendel violated the rules at the end of the first half against Yuri Kovalev. The Brazilian received his fourth yellow card of the season and will miss the match against Krasnodar.
— Who is more likely to win, Krasnodar or Zenit?
— Zenit has more experience in the fight for first place in the RPL. “Krasnodar” has been on the first steps for a long time this season. The downside for Zenit is that Wendel will not play. He is one of the key players in midfield. It’s clear that Krasnodar are experiencing some changes in the quality of their play, but if they play open football they could be in trouble. Let’s see. On match day, when such teams play, someone can potentially be worse or better, but you have to give results. Liverpool are stronger than Atalanta, but we saw how the opponent beat them on a specific day and time.
—Who can replace Wendel?
– I think of Douglas Santos. They say he will be ready to play. He is a footballer who can play in many positions, including in the center of the field, which he has already shown on several occasions. I don’t exclude that he plays in the middle,” Cherchesov said on MATCH PRIME.
Zenit leads the RPL standings with 44 points, Krasnodar is second, scoring one point less. The match between Krasnodar and Zenit will take place on Saturday; watch the live broadcast on from 4:30 p.m. (Moscow time).
