“If Zenit beats CSKA, then we can say that 85% of Petersburgers will become champions” – Radchenko

Former striker of the Russian national football team Dmitry Radchenko believes that Zenit will defeat CSKA in the match of the 20th round of the WORLD of the Russian Premier League (RPL).

– The defeat in the Russian Cup is a very painful story for Zenit before such an important match with CSKA. We need to draw the right conclusions and prepare for the match. I think that in Moscow there will be a completely different game. This will be one of the key matches for the Petersburgers to strengthen their position in the fight for the championship. If Zenit wins against the army team, then we can say that they will take gold medals by 85%.

I can’t say that Zenit can be an outsider in the game with CSKA. The army team is also now showing an unstable game after the winter break. Yes, they manage to play according to the new scheme with two forwards, using Chalov and Zabolotny. But I think that Zenit will not rebuild their game. They will play as before – the first number.

I have repeatedly said that the Petersburgers always come out to play to win, other options are not considered. On Sunday CSKA will close, I think there will be few goals. Of course, I would like to see an interesting and open game, but it is unlikely to succeed. I think that Zenit will win with a score of 1:0 or 2:1,” Radchenko told Metaratings.ru.

Zenit is leading the RPL standings with 48 points, CSKA (32) is fifth.

Watch the live broadcast of the CSKA-Zenit match on March 19 on the Match TV and MATCH PREMIER channels, as well as on the websites sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru. The start of the broadcast on “Match TV” from 18:30 Moscow time, the starting whistle will sound at 19:30.

Mendy responded to the question of whether Diaz missed the penalty on purpose

Goalkeeper for the Senegalese national team Edouard Mendy denied speculation that the Moroccan international would be an attacker Brahim Diaz he deliberately missed a penalty in the final seconds of regulation time in the Africa Cup of Nations final.

A controversial penalty was awarded against the Senegalese, after which the team left the field. Soon the players returned and the shot was taken: Diaz hit it lightly in the center of the goal, and Mendy took the ball firmly.

The goalkeeper, answering the question if there was an agreement with Diaz, said:

Obviously not. Let’s be serious. Does anyone really think that one minute before the end of the match, when the whole country had been waiting for this title for 50 years, they could agree on something like this? He wanted to score and I did my job by stopping him and nothing else.

Gondu spoke about his move from Zenit to CSKA

Argentine attacker Luciano Gondo commented on his transfer from Zenit to CSKA. The player moved to the Moscow club in early January.

It wasn’t difficult to decide, this is a great club, a respectable brand. I learned about the interest of the army team somewhere in October, when I was already looking for a new club. Therefore, I followed the performances closely CSKA and I know exactly how he plays.

I was welcomed very well by both the team and the coaching staff. This warm welcome helps you adapt faster.
