Ex-Zenith goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev shared his expectations from the upcoming OLIMBET Match of Legends between the St. Petersburg team and Spartak and suggested that Miguel Danny, the former footballer of the Blue-White-Blues, will stand out on the field.

In the first match of the veterans of Spartak and Zenit, the Petersburgers won with a score of 2:0.

– I did not participate in the first match, because I was in Africa at that time, filmed in the show “Stars of Africa-3”. What are the expectations before the return match? I think the match as a whole will be very interesting for the fans. Many have already forgotten the guys for whom they worried and cheered for many years.

I do not think that the match itself is very important for the participants. But the poster looks interesting, attractive. Especially considering that Spartak and Zenit, the main teams, will play in the next round of the Russian Championship. This is a good promo to attract spectators to the stadium.

Therefore, I expect a combat, interesting game. It is clear that everything will depend on who is in what form. It is unlikely that the guys spent a full preparation for the match. Someone has been practicing. It depends on who and when the player’s career ended, how he maintained his form – these questions will come to the fore.

It’s very interesting to actually see Miguel Danni. I think he is in good shape and will be as noticeable on the pitch as he was on his debut for Zenit in Monaco. As for Spartak, its clip looks very impressive. Anyone can be afraid. But, of course, those who left football not so long ago and retained their condition will get an advantage, ”RB Sport” quoted Malafeev as saying.

The return Match of the legends of Spartak and Zenit will be held on September 2 in Moscow. Watch the live broadcast on the Match TV channel from 18:30 (Moscow time).
