Russian coach Rinat Bilyaletdinov, father of former "Lokomotiv" player Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, shared his thoughts on the match between "Zenit" and "Rubin." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
These teams will clash in the second round of the Russian championship. According to Bilyaletdinov, if "Zenit" players are not prepared for "Rubin's" actions, they may face serious problems.
In particular, caution is necessary against "Rubin's" dangerous counterattacks. He emphasized the importance of defensive solidity in the game, otherwise, the likelihood of unpleasant situations arising is high.
In the match between "Zenit" and "Rubin," both teams will strive to continue their victories from the first round. The match will take place on July 27 in Kazan.
Both teams have started the season well, with "Zenit" defeating "Rostov" 2:1, and "Rubin" winning against "Akhmat" 2:0. This game is expected to be one of the highlights of the Russian championship.
