— After the match against Lokomotiv, you noted that Zenit had not won matches against direct competitors recently. Why do you think?
– I can’t answer yet. Moreover, this is no longer a coincidence, it rather resembles a trend. Yes, they won against Dynamo, but thanks to the fact that they finally saved a penalty. We didn’t play very well against CSKA in Moscow, although we took three points. With Spartak, it was a vague and drawn match. Now here is a draw with Loko.
It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on here. The atmosphere is there, the guys on the team are almost the same. We all have to face this.
— In the match with Loko, we should have scored the second goal, and then everything would have been clear?
– Without a doubt. But to be honest, for me a draw is 100% a surprise. “I was confident that we would get a positive result,” Mostovoy told .
After 13 matches, Zenit is in second place in the RPL standings with 30 points. In the next round, Sergei Semak’s team will host Dynamo Makhachkala in St. Petersburg on November 2.
