“I returned to Zenit because I have some good memories with this team. I won my first European trophy at Zenit. After two and a half years old, when I was flying away from St. Petersburg to Munich, I experienced an unforgettable
farewell at the airport. There were fireworks and a lot of people came to see me leaving. So, I decided that I will return to Zenit one day. I had other offers including from top European teams but I quickly decided to move to Zenit. For me this is the best
club in the Russian championship,” the former Shakhtar Donetsk player was quoted as saying.
Tymoshchuk, who joined Zenit from the Munich-based club last month, said that he decided to finish his career at St. Petersburg club after penning down a long term deal at Petrovsky stadium.
