Dmitriy Barannik, a former player of St. Petersburg's Zenit team, emphasized that Zenit's trip to Grozny will not be easy. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the match against the local Akhmat team is always difficult for Zenit. In Barannik's opinion, even if the Akhmat coach is not replaced, the trip would still not be easy.
Especially after Stanislav Cherchesov returned as head coach, the Akhmat players will have even stronger motivation. It has been announced that the match between Akhmat and Zenit will take place this Saturday, July 9.
This game will be the first official match for Akhmat under the new head coach Stanislav Cherchesov. The Grozny club made an official statement about Cherchesov's return to Chechnya on August 6.
This match is of significant importance for both teams. While Zenit will try to achieve the best result away, Akhmat aims to prove itself under the leadership of the new coach.
For this reason, the encounter is expected to be interesting and full of struggles.
