Russian figure skater Alexander Galliamov told he was very impressed with the midfielder’s performance “Zenith” Maxima Gluchenkova who will miss Saturday’s MIR RPL match against “Spartak” .
The meeting will take place in St. Petersburg on August 24 from 17:30 (Moscow time). Glushenkov, who has scored 7 goals in five starting matches of the RPL season, will miss the match due to a hand injury.
— I am really looking forward to the match between Zenit and Spartak. And I hope that the victory will be for Zenit, since they will play at home, in St. Petersburg, in their stadium, where the stands full of fans will support them. Spartak is a fundamental rival. And I hope to see a productive match, motivated players, tasked with winning.
— Are you shocked by Gluchenkov’s performance? Will it be difficult without him in the match against Spartak?
— Of course, I am shocked by Glushenkov’s performance. It is obviously a pity that such an injury happened. At first I thought that everything was not so serious there and that we could play in defense. I immediately remembered Benzema, who constantly played with a bandaged hand, but then I found out that he would need surgery. It was very upsetting. The number of goals he scored in such a short time is an indicator of his high level of preparation. We will miss him very much. But “Zenit” has enough strong players and let’s hope that their skills will allow us to win, “Gallyamov told .
