Rapoport: "Zenit" came to the match better prepared than CSKA

Boris Rapoport, the former coach and sports director of St. Petersburg's “Zenit” team, shared his thoughts on the expected outcomes of the match between “Zenit” and Moscow's CSKA in the third round of the Russian Premier League during an interview with the online publication “Evro-Futbol.Ru.” This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Rapoport noted that this match is expected to be interesting and full of struggles. According to him, recent matches involving CSKA have been uncompromising and competitive, but not many goals are being scored.

More victories with small scores are being recorded, which is characteristic of both teams. In the expert's opinion, the “Zenit” team is preparing well for this game.

The team's key players are available, and a player named Jerson is also part of the team. This creates a favorable opportunity for head coach Sergey Semak in choosing the lineup.

In CSKA, however, the situation is somewhat different. One of the team's strongest defenders in recent years, Rosha, has left the team, and young Lukin is being brought onto the field in his place.

Additionally, the team has changed its playing style and is currently operating under a completely new system. The match between “Zenit” and CSKA will take place on August 3 in St. Petersburg.

The game will start at 18:00. The text online broadcast of this match can be followed.
