Gasilin wants to observe Zenit's points loss

Aleksey Gasilin, former "Zenit" forward, shared his thoughts on the match between "Akhmat" and the St. Petersburg team as part of the group stage of the Russian Cup Fonbet tournament. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The match will take place on July 30 in Grozny and is the first round of the tournament for both teams. According to Gasilin, the Cup matches will be very interesting, as many clubs give opportunities to reserve players instead of the main squad.

He particularly focused on the clash between "Zenit" and "Akhmat" and wants to observe how the St. Petersburg team's response will be to the draw against "Rubin" in the last championship. Gasilin said on "Match TV": "All matches in the Russian Cup will be interesting.

I think teams will give their close reserve players a chance to showcase themselves. Personally, I want to see how "Zenit" reacts to the lost points in the match against "Rubin." Currently, "Zenit" is in sixth place in the Russian championship standings and has accumulated four points after two rounds.

On August 3, the team led by Sergey Semak is set to face CSKA in the championship.
