Zenit St. Petersburg’s Vyacheslav Malafeev happy to reclaim top spot after defeating FC Krasnodar
In the latest round of Russian Premier League, Zenit St. Petersburg defeated FC Krasnodar by a comfortable 5-0 margin at home. The Meshki shot-stopper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vyacheslav-Malafeev-c36502, is delighted with the comprehensive team win against the Byki and assured the fans
that the Bomzhi are ready to retain the Russian Premier League title this season.
Zenit have now claimed the top spot on the league table after the former league leaders, CSKA Moscow managed to draw their previous league meeting against Spartak Moscow. The Bomzhi have stretched their unbeaten league run to twelve games and managed to
score ten goals from their last two meetings against the Byki and Kryliya Sovetov Samara.
“We had a beautiful counterattack, and indeed the match was very entertaining. The result was a match for gourmets: a lot of chances, a lot of struggle and a lot of cool heads. In the first half they made a lot of attacks on our goal, but we controlled their
offensive approach, it was not easy. But our defence played well, and then we scored the third and left the opponent with no chance for a possible comeback. In the second half we attacked and they defended themselves.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as
saying.
The UEFA Cup winner revealed that Zenit are playing quality football under the leadership of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti, and the Meshki deserve the top spot on the league table after displaying interesting, entertaining and fabulous performances.

Zenit have been drawn against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186, FC Apoel and Shakhtar
