Former Zenit midfielder Pavel Mogilevets told Sport24 about playing for Petersburgers under the guidance of Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu in the 2016/17 season.
– Why didn’t you stay with Berdyev in Rostov?
– Lucescu said he was counting on me at Zenit. I played enough in the base, but two weeks before the start of the season I got injured. She prevented her from gaining a foothold in the cage, where there was already strong competition.
I confess: all that time I wanted to return to Rostov and even spoke about this to the management of Zenit. Mircea did not let go, and when I recovered from the injury, didn’t trust him.
– Is Lucescu the worst thing that could happen to Zenit?
– Mircea wanted to keep the old backbone, but Hulk, Witsel, Garay left (although Ezequiel said he would stay). It was hard without such players. Mircea asked for a replacement, and, apparently, not everyone he asked was brought to him. There was tension between him and the management, and there was no understanding within the team.
Mogilevets played for Zenit from 2014 to 2017. For the club from St. Petersburg, the footballer played 20 matches and gave one assist.

The scorer of the brace against Chelsea is an Aston Villa player. Ollie Watkins appointed head coach of the team Unai Emery tactical genius. Watkins’ comment is quoted by the BBC in reference to Sky Sports.
The meeting of the 18th round of the English championship between Aston Villa and Chelsea from London ended with a strong victory for the Birmingham team with a score of 2:1.
“He changed tactics because Chelsea played man-marking, but he had an extra central defender when we played long balls. When I came on in the second half, he put Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rodgers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No. 10 position, so we had an extra player. He’s a tactical genius,” Watkins said.
“Amazing victory. For me personally, to go on the pitch and score two goals is a fantastic feeling, but to continue that streak and come here to such a difficult place and beat Chelsea is just incredible,” he added.
