Football expert Dmitry Sennikov told Euro‑Football.Ru that in the match for the OLIMPBET Super Cup of Russia, preference is given to Zenit, but CSKA may surprise.
The game will take place on Saturday at the Ak Bars Arena in Kazan.
What are your expectations for the Super Bowl?
– I prefer Zenit to a greater extent, because it is a champion, a good, balanced team. Plus, the St. Petersburg team had a fairly solid pre-season tournament. But CSKA was one of the best in the spring part of the championship, so I can’t say that something will not work out for him. Muscovites won the Russian Cup and finished well, taking second place in the championship. In one match they can play for the result, show their skills.
– Although Zenit is the favorite, it also has losses in the squad. Will it create problems for Petersburgers?
– There are enough problems, but we saw controversial matches between CSKA and Dynamo in the off-season. Everyone is in search. The main task is to prepare for the championship.
— But the Super Bowl is a trophy that can be won now.
– This is understandable, and the match should be taken seriously, but it is important to lay down the preparation so that it is enough for the whole season, and there are no failures. It is clear that everything in the season will depend on the readiness and composition. If someone has key losses, this, of course, will have an effect. We saw how Zenit spent the spring part. He played without much motivation, and he had no leaders on the field.
– Can we expect surprises from CSKA?
– Everything is possible. While we do not know what composition will be “Zenith”. Some adjustments will be made along the way. I think that those players who are well prepared will have more chances to play, even if they have to reshape the ties that were in the spring.
What kind of football do you expect to see?
“Speed affects everything. You have to look at the condition of the team. If you play slowly, you won’t be able to win. I think no one will wait, it’s not a match for the championship. Despite the fact that the Super Bowl is a trophy, I believe that in this match there is an opportunity to play more relaxed.
