Olympic champion Ilya Kovalchuk in a conversation with , he said that the football club “Zenith “will not be easy to take points at”Spartacus in the match of the fifth round of the WORLD of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
Spartak will host Zenit on August 20. The Red-Whites are fourth in the standings with nine points after four matches. The Petersburgers are on the sixth row with seven points.
– Regarding football, do you go to RPL matches? In a week we are waiting for the blockbuster “Spartak” – “Zenith”.
– It is very interesting to watch the Russian league, and just on Friday I watched the match “Ural” – “Spartak”. We trained, I come – Spartak leads with the score 2:1. I went to the bathhouse, I come back – already 2:3. I think, “Wow, how interesting the guys are playing…”
But in fact, Spartak is now a pleasure to watch. A good match awaits us, especially since Zenit now also needs points. I think it will be an interesting match.
– Is there a chance for Spartak to catch Zenit? It seems that the Red-Whites are doing well, but there is not enough stability, Sobolev shows some gestures when there is a fight for medals.
Listen, these are emotions. For example, I like emotional footballers more than amoebas in boots. God forbid there was a brilliant game, lots of goals. Because “Zenith” is not quite the same. Malcolm is gone, the other guys who made the result. So it won’t be so easy to take points from Spartak,” Kovalchuk told .
Watch the live broadcast of the Spartak-Zenit match on August 20 from 6:30 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
