Former Zenit coach Vlastimil Petrzhela believes that the St. Petersburg club should not buy many foreign players.
Such an abundance of foreigners is a disaster for young Russian players, who in such conditions have practically no chance of getting into the main team. Zenit don’t play in European competitions, right? So why are they spending so much money buying foreign players now? I don’t understand why the club needs a youth sector if young people still don’t make it into the first team, it’s very sad.
