Former Zenit midfielder Magomed Ozdoev said that he left the St. Petersburg club in search of motivation and does not consider his decision a mistake.
Ozdoev decided not to renew the agreement with Zenit, which expired on June 30.
Zenit offered me a contract back in January. The conditions suited me. I wanted to talk to the coach to make sure he needed me. The conversation took place at the February training camp. Semak said that I was needed. I asked for time to think, while giving no guarantees to Zenit. In February, a variant with Europe appeared. On February 22, my transfer failed, but I was already set for a new challenge. In May, I finally decided that I had to leave.
I explained my position to Alexander Ivanovich (Medvedev). He understood everything. For me, the decision to leave Zenit will never be a mistake. It was a matter of finding a new motivation. There is no role for Semak in my departure, – Sport24 quotes Ozdoev.
Last season, 29-year-old Ozdoev scored 2 goals and provided an assist in 16 matches for Zenit.
