Athletistic / Football. Former Zenit defender Daniel Chiritse shared his memories of the match with legendary blue-white-blue striker Andrei Arshavin. The Romanian compared Arshavin to one of the best footballers in history.
“At Zenit at that time, Arshavin and Kerzhakov stood out. There was also Bystrov – he ran very fast! If Messi had already reigned at that time, then I would say that Arshavin was his copy. Andrei was an incredibly technical footballer! I remember how much he amused me when he dyed his hair blue-white-blue after we took second place in the Russian championship, I was laughing at that moment, ”said Chiritse according to Sport-Express.
Daniel Chiritsa was a Zenit player from 2002 to 2004. The defender played 66 matches in all tournaments for the Russian club, scored two goals and made two assists.
Andrei Arshavin helped Zenit become Russian champions and win the UEFA Cup and Super Cup. Lionel Messi is a record eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.
