Viestica called the time at Zenit the best in his career

Serbian defender Milan Viestica told RB Sport that he considers the time spent at Zenit to be the most wonderful in his career.

Vieshtitsa took part in the League of Legends Stavok retro match as part of the St. Petersburg team against the legends of the Russian team. The meeting was held as part of the sports program of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) and was timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the victory of the Blue-White-Blues in the UEFA Cup and the bronze medals of the national team at Euro 2008.

“Of course, it was hard,” Viestica says. – But, since the emotions were positive, the fatigue was not so strongly felt. Good guys, good stadium, good game. It was a pleasure to participate in such an event.

– Did you quickly find a common language with partners in the Zenit legends team? Many, probably, were seen for the first time on the field.

— Yes, the first time. But when the players are good, it’s no problem to find a common language to play football.

– Did you immediately decide that you would come to the Match of Legends? How did it happen?

– Yes, they called me, I made a decision quickly. How not to come to St. Petersburg?

– What do you remember about those years when you played for Zenit?

– Only good. What can be remembered? It was the most beautiful time of my career: Zenit, fans, a full stadium. You have no idea what emotions. And now they flared up with renewed vigor. Although they played at another stadium, not at Petrovsky.

– Of those coaches under whose leadership you played at Zenit, who got into your heart more?

– Yes, all that were. And Yuri Andreevich Morozov, and Vlastimil Petrzhela. Everyone helped me in their own way, taught me something.

– Are you following Zenit from the Czech Republic?

– Well, as far as I can. I know that the team won several championships in a row. This is not surprising – Zenit was gradually moving towards these successes, I had no doubt that it would be one of the best clubs in Russia.

Viestica played for Zenit from 2002 to 2007. For St. Petersburg, the Serb played 94 matches, scored 2 goals and made 2 assists.
