Former midfielder and forward Yuriy Zheludkov expressed critical opinions about Zenit's performance in the first round of the Russian Premier League against Rostov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He criticized the team's playing style, stating that there was not enough movement on the field against Rostov in the first half, and that the players were just walking around. According to Zheludkov, such a style of play was unacceptable.
In the match, Zenit won 2:1. In the first half, Rostov's forward Ivan Komarov capitalized on a mistake in front of the goal, putting his team ahead.
In the second half of the game, Mateo Kassierra first equalized the score, and then Andrey Mostovoy scored a penalty to bring victory to Zenit. In the next round, Zenit will face Rubin Kazan away on July 27.
This game will be an important test for the team, and Zenit fans are expecting an even better performance from their team.
