“You can’t say from a single match that Zenit played carelessly” – Shalimov

Russian coach Igor Shalimov was pleased with the game of Zenit in the match with Fakel in the 30th round of the WORLD RPL.

The team of Sergei Semak won a home victory with a score of 1:0. Zenit became the champion ahead of schedule, after defeating Spartak in the 26th round (3:2).

– Compliments to Zenit – after the team won the title, let the leaders go to Brazil, Peter did not lose a single game, and one cannot say that they played carelessly in a single match.

In terms of personalities, I liked Mantuan, who can impose competition on Mostovoy. Even taking into account the absence of Brazilian leaders and the difference in motivation, the level of the teams is still incomparable. Zenit scored its typical goal – Mantouan burst into the penalty area from the half-flank and gave Erokhin a leg, who scored on touch. Similar goals, with variations – when the pass was made from a slightly greater distance, we have already seen Zenit more than once this year, – Shalimov told RB Sport.

The top three at the end of the season in the RPL WORLD were formed by Zenit (70 points) and CSKA Moscow (58) and Spartak (54).
