Zenit St. Petersburg’s Vladimir Bystrov rues missed chances against Spartak Moscow
In the latest round of the Russian Premier League, Zenit St. Petersburg drew 2-2 against Spartak Moscow in a closely contested game at Luzhniki stadium.
In the aftermath of the stalemate, Zenit winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vladimir-Bystrov-c36328 has lamented his team’s performance during the second half and urged the Meshki defence to work harder as they conceded a late equalizer.
Bystrov was not involved in the squad after sustaining an injury during a training session. The Russian Cup winner revealed that it was painful to concede a late equalizer and to give away much needed points at this stage of the season.
“It's a pity that Zenit did not win. We needed to win the game we did not take our chances well and missed great chances in the dying moments of the game.” He said.
The former Myaso player highlighted that Zenit are also playing in the UEFA Champions League and they have been drawn against tough opponents. Zenit won 3-1 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 in the latest group stage fixture.
The Russian national is of the view that Zenit players were tired and admitted that Spartak are tough opponents. Bystrov highlighted that the Svinyi are enjoying good run at the moment and urged his teammates to win the remaining league games to retain the
league title this season.
“Four days ago, Zenit were playing in the Champions League, where they worked hard to beat tough opponents. The Spartak players had fresh legs and they were playing physically throughout the game. We played quality football, therefore Spartacus were just
lucky to get a point at Luzhniki stadium.” The 27-year-old was quoted as saying.
Bystrov went onto support the match official’s decisions during the match and insisted that the Red-White player, Nicolas Pareja, was rightly sent off during the first half. The Russian national revealed that the Argentine national made a ridiculous challenge
on the Zenit striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kerzhakov-c4569, and he deserved his marching orders from the match official.
