Former Zenit St. Petersburg player, German Zonin, has spoken about the upcoming Russian Premier League tie between Zenit and Spartak on Saturday.
German Zonin has insisted that Spartak Moscow have significantly improved from last season and are enjoying high confidence after winning three matches in a row.
The Moscow-based club managed to defeat Alania Vladikavkaz 2-1, Volga Nizhny Novgorod 2-1 and also claimed all three points against Dynamo Moscow after defeating the Dinamiki 4-0 at Arena Khimki.
Spartak will now face the defending Russian Premier League champions, Zenit St. Petersburg, at Petrovsky stadium on Saturday. And Zonin admitted that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti's side will find it difficult to claim points against the Moscow-based
club as they are enjoying top form at the moment.
The former Zenit head coach went on to tell the fans that Spartak have managed to sign an experienced head coach, Unai Emery, who has brought in decent players at Luzhniki stadium since his arrival at Moscow.
Spartak signed the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 manager after Valery Karpin’s shocking resignation last month.
The Spartachi managed to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 and Vasco de Gama respectively during the ongoing summer transfer window, before signing
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diniyar-Bilyaletdinov-c11318 from Everton FC last year.
“If we assume that the Muscovites will win against Zenit, they will get a huge amount of confidence. So, the upcoming match is not about just three points, but the question of moral leadership in the league.
“To say which team is better is not worth it. The new head coach put the squad together, interestingly. We have to admit that the Muscovites are looking great physically as they had problems with their fitness in the past.” The
Soviet Top league winner was quoted as saying.
Commenting on Zenit’s chances to win the respective tie, Zonin revealed that though the Russian outfit had succeeded to surpass every challenge that came to them during the ongoing championship, they will find it extremely difficult
to defeat the Moscow-based club this time around.
The Russian national assured the fans of an exciting match, telling that he is expecting a lot of goals on Saturday.
