– It’s not a pity that in the cup match with Fakel the first goal was scored on Cassierra – was it a rebound after your shot?
– Yes, why is it a pity, he is a striker, and my task is to give him assists. Besides, he needed a goal.
– Can this be considered an objective?
– Yes why not? I was the last to touch the ball before the goal (laughs).
– Before the game with Spartak. What are your expectations?
– He’s as important as for any Zenit player, because it’s a big game, one of the most important in the league. Such matches can largely determine the course of the entire championship.
Zenit will play in Moscow with “Spartacus” on Sunday September 4, as part of the eighth round of the WORLD RPL. Watch the live broadcast of the match on the channel starting at 7:00 p.m. (Moscow time).
