Zenit defender Danil Krugovoi told RG that Spartak remains the main competitor of the St. Petersburg team.

In November, the players of Zenit and Spartak staged a mass brawl in the last minute of the match of the sixth round of the FONBET Russian Cup group stage. The meeting ended with the victory of the Petersburgers on penalties.

– You are a pupil of “Zenith”. Is Spartak a special opponent for you?

– Certainly. All matches against them are fundamental, because there are a lot of talks and advertisements. As it was before, it remains so. Spartak is our number one competitor. Last year, when they broke the streak without a win, the carnage began. Remember after all, what was in the Cup.

– Wasn’t it too much?

“It was emotion.

— Where were you at that moment?

— I just saw how the eyes of some players were burning. Sobolev provoked us from the first minutes, they came to drive us crazy. And they partly succeeded.

Zenit in the first round of the new season WORLD RPL on Saturday will play away with the Nizhny Novgorod Pari NN. Watch the live broadcast of the match from 15:10 Moscow time on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.

According to the journalist, in the event of such a transfer, Kobin could even play in the 2015 Europa League final, but ultimately the transfer did not take place.

The reasons why the transfer did not take place lie on a different level, but the details of this situation are not reliably known.
