— In such cases, we traditionally ask who you dedicate your first goal for Zenit to.

– To mom.

— Even before the starting whistle, it was known that Zenit would advance to the next stage of the Russian Cup. At the same time, the team came out charged from the first minutes of today and defeated the opponent. How do you explain this?

— Two teams come out. And there is only one first place. That’s why we wanted to be the first in the group today. That was the motivation.

— Tell me, is it possible to say that now you are finally settled in the team and you accept new sporting conditions for yourself?

— I said after the match against Rubin that there was a little time left for a complete adaptation. But it turned out that all this is a little more difficult. I probably won’t lie, but like I said then, it takes a little time and I’ll say it again. We need a little more time, but I hope this goal will add confidence,” Sobolev told the club’s website.

Zenit scored 13 points and secured first place in the standings of Group D. Akron has 8 points and second place. In the next round, Zenit will face Fakel on October 22 and Akron will host Rubin a day later.
