Kiryakov: “First of all, the Super Bowl match is a title”

Former striker of the Russian national team Sergey Kiryakov shared his expectations from the match for the Russian Super Cup.

Knowing the relationship between the opponents, I will say that there will be a fundamental match. On the eve of the start of the championship, it is important to show your intentions to fight in the championship. I think it will be a no-compromise game. Football players will be set to 100 percent. They understand what the comparison between St. Petersburg and Moscow is. Last championship “Spartak” was extremely unsuccessful. Surely Spartak will want to show their intentions to compete with Zenit this season in this game. Somehow, there will be a strength estimate before the start. Passions will be kindled.

“Spartak” 10 years does not win in St. Petersburg? I don’t think it will remain in the minds of the players. Each subsequent game is a different story. First of all, the Super Bowl game is a title. Anyway. I think the players will keep it in mind, not the stats. The task, both for some and for others, will be to take the title before the start of the championship, raising morale. If you win, you feel confident in your abilities. I think this will be the main task.

Did you name Germany? Kroos surprised by choice of World Cup favorite

Former star of Real Madrid and the German national team Toni Kroos He determined the favorites of the World Cup and evaluated the chances of Brazil and Germany:

“World Cup? The main favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I’m not talking about Brazil, but it could happen. It’s good that a large number of teams are participating, but I am now against increasing the number of participants. We need to protect the players and the quality of the tournament. With more teams there will be obvious scores and these are not the kind of matches that fans want to see. Quality matches are important for me, not 5:0 or 6:0. Players come to the tournament tired and play more matches, the level drops a little.

Is Ancelotti in Brazil? He could have left a year ago, but he stayed at Real Madrid. I talked to him throughout the summer and wished him luck. He really wanted to coach Brazil, I hope everything goes well for him. Brazil has top-level players like Vini with valuable experience.

Neymar? The important thing is when it is 100%. He may experience a lack of rhythm in the game due to the injuries he has experienced in recent years. Now he’s injured again, he only has 6 months left. If he is fit he can help any team in the world.

Team Germany? I think Germany is always among the favorites, but not among the main ones. “I’m sure they will at least reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but the level is a little lower, although everything is possible in football,” he said.
