In the game with Akhmat, Zenit goalkeeper Daniil Odoevsky received a direct red card. On Saturday, the St. Petersburg club will host CSKA in the fifth round of the RPL.

– Let’s see. There are players who can play in several positions, we can rebuild during the match, there are spare options for how to develop attacks or defend. And there are always personnel problems to one degree or another. It is a pity, of course, that they lost Claudinho, but others have the opportunity to take a chance.

– Not yet. There is time and a few workouts. We will look at the state of Misha Kerzhakov and Ivan.

The scorer of the brace against Chelsea is an Aston Villa player. Ollie Watkins appointed head coach of the team Unai Emery tactical genius. Watkins’ comment is quoted by the BBC in reference to Sky Sports.
The meeting of the 18th round of the English championship between Aston Villa and Chelsea from London ended with a strong victory for the Birmingham team with a score of 2:1.
“He changed tactics because Chelsea played man-marking, but he had an extra central defender when we played long balls. When I came on in the second half, he put Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rodgers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No. 10 position, so we had an extra player. He’s a tactical genius,” Watkins said.
“Amazing victory. For me personally, to go on the pitch and score two goals is a fantastic feeling, but to continue that streak and come here to such a difficult place and beat Chelsea is just incredible,” he added.
