Denis Ugarov, a former player of the St. Petersburg "Zenit" team, expressed his thoughts on the match against the "Rubin" team in the second round of the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The "Zenit" and "Rubin" teams played to a 2:2 draw. According to Ugarov, this result is not satisfactory for the team.
He assessed going ahead 2:0 and finishing the match in a draw as contrary to the pre-season goals. Currently, the "Zenit" team is in sixth place in the league table with 4 points.
Last season, the team failed to secure the championship title, finishing just 1 point behind "Krasnodar." In the next match, the "Zenit" team, led by Sergey Semak, will face CSKA on August 3.
Before this match, a game against the "Akhmat" team in the group stage of the Russian Cup is scheduled for July 30. These matches are of significant importance for the team's results this season.
