Former Spartak football player Andrei Konovalov was pleased with the actions of the Moscow team in defense in the match of the 19th round of the MIR RPL with Zenit.

Saturday’s match, held in St. Petersburg, ended with a score of 0:0.

— Did the game live up to expectations?

– Yes. She was tense and interesting. But some kind of constraint was visible. Therefore, the game turned out to be more strategic.

— Are you disappointed that we didn’t see any goals?

– Eat. Although the game kept me in suspense. She was interesting to watch.

— The game was unusual for Spartak, because we had to defend a lot. Did your guests feel any discomfort due to this?

— The Muscovites defended quite well. They did not allow Zenit to create any special moments. I didn’t see any fear. The only thing that was unusual was to see that the “red-whites” were more defensive than conducting positional attacks,” Euro-Futbol.Ru quotes Konovalov as saying.

Zenit scored 37 points and missed the chance to catch up with the leader in the standings, Krasnodar (39), which on Saturday lost points in the match with Rubin Kazan (1:1). Spartak (31) moved up to fourth place.
