“It’s okay if Bakaev scores against Spartak in the Super Bowl match and celebrates” – Pavlyuchenko

Midfielder of St. Petersburg Zenit Zelimkhan Bakaev can celebrate with his teammates a goal against Moscow Spartak if he scores goals in the match for OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup, scoring goals is his job, said ex-striker of the Moscow club Roman Pavlyuchenko.

Bakaev left Spartak on June 1, and two weeks later the football player signed a contact with the Blue-White-Blues as a free agent.

– If Bakaev scores against Spartak? And, well, that’s his job. This does not mean that Bakaev can no longer score against Spartak by moving to Zenit. He enters the field for the team to win. This is football, this is life. Today you are on one team, tomorrow on another. Another thing is whether he will celebrate! Everything will depend on him. And if he celebrates – nothing like that. Haven’t I met players who moved from team to team, scored against the former team and rejoiced?

I remember from Rotor I moved to Spartak, scored against the former team and celebrated. What’s wrong here? I do not wish anything bad to the team in which I played. Everything is individual here, – quotes the words of Pavlyuchenko “Championship”.

On July 9, Zenit and Spartak will meet in the match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup. The match will be broadcast live by the Match TV and MATCH PREMIER channels, as well as the matchtv.ru website, starting at 19:00 (Moscow time).
