“Zenith should not panic because of the match with Sepahan. This is the best team in Russia” – Davydov

Iranian “Sepahan” played on the mistakes of “Zenith”, but there should be no panic among the Petersburgers, because this is the best team in Russia, said the former midfielder of “Zenith” Anatoly Davydov.

On Friday, Zenit lost to Sepahan in a friendly match with a score of 0:2.

– In the match with Sepahan, Zenit did not have a main and reserve squad – everything was mixed up. They could score their chances – in this case, the final score could be different. But the opponent played on the mistakes.

Now there are fees, so there should not be any panic. There were individual mistakes in the match with the Iranians – this needs to be discussed and sorted out. Maybe it was the load. The coaches will definitely understand. I didn’t see any big negatives.

Is the result disturbing? Why is it disturbing? “Sepahan” played at home with full stands. What kind of preparation they have and when their championship resumes, I don’t know. But Zenit has two workouts a day: surely someone else is still working in the gym – this is one hundred percent. There shouldn’t be any panic. There is no need to draw any conclusions from the matches at the training camp. Zenit is a well-played team. The best in Russia. There is no need to panic now,” Davydov told the “Championship”.

Following the results of 17 rounds of the RPL, the Petersburgers are leading the standings with 42 points. On February 25, Zenit in the ¼ finals of the Way of the Regions FONBET Cup of Russia will play on the road with Volga Ulyanovsk.
