Vladimir Bystrov, a former midfielder of the Petersburg "Zenit" team and the Russian national team, criticized the performance of the Russian vice-champion "Zenit" in their game against the capital's "CSKA". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Bystrov, he was not impressed by "Zenit's" game against "CSKA" at all. He emphasized that he cannot recall "Zenit" applying such pressure and pressing in responsible matches.
Bystrov expressed these thoughts on the show "Oh, native football!" It should be noted that the match between "Zenit" and "CSKA" took place last Sunday, August 3, and ended in a 1:1 draw.
For most of the game, the "CSKA" team was in the lead, and only in the second half did "Zenit" manage to equalize with a penalty goal. This penalty was successfully converted by Aleksandr Sobolev.
Thus, "Zenit" left their fans unimpressed in this important match, and the pressure in the game was not sufficient. This result raised questions about the quality of the team's performance.
Experts and football fans hope that "Zenit" will strengthen their game in upcoming matches.
