Zenit St. Petersburg goalkeeper Denis Adamov told Match TV that he celebrated a goal on the field for the first time when defender Nuraly Alip scored the ball against Baltika Kaliningrad at the end of the FONBET Russian Cup Superfinal.
On Sunday, Zenit beat Baltika with a score of 2:1, the blue-white-blues were losing by the 81st minute. At the end of the season, Sergei Semak’s team also won the championship and the country’s Super Cup.
— A very difficult game in terms of emotions. One could get the feeling that they gave all their strength in the match with Rostov, but in the Cup final they completely outplayed the opponent. On the other hand, the rare Baltika injections turned out to be very unpleasant. We controlled the game, created a million chances, missed an empty net in some places, and played by the goalkeeper in others. That’s why it was hard that we couldn’t score for a long time.
But in the end everything turned out the way we like it. From an emotional point of view, this is top! You know, I’ve never run to celebrate a goal on the field before, but at Luzhniki, when Alip scored, I couldn’t stand it. I saw everyone running, so I rushed. I don’t know where these emotions came from, but I couldn’t resist and ran!
Winning the championship and the Cup in your first season for Zenit is super. Now we will also compete for the Super Cup next season. I’m very happy about this.
— In the Cup final, about the same thing happened to the team as during the whole season?
– Yes. A difficult season, we lost a lot of points and conceded ridiculous goals. But all’s well that ends well. I want to say a big thank you to all the fans and once again congratulate them on Zenit’s victories,” Adamov told Match TV.

“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”
If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
