Friendly match between Zenit and Lyon

The Zenit team usually holds friendly matches during international breaks. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This is done not only to maintain the level of readiness in training but also during the game, as the players have not left for national teams. In September, the team led by Sergey Semak will hold a friendly match against Sion at Gazprom Arena.

According to the press service of the Saint Petersburg club, the match between Zenit and Sion will take place on Saturday, September 6. The game at Gazprom Arena is scheduled to start at 19:00 Moscow time.

In July, Zenit hosted Sion and won with a score of 5:2. In the summer of 2016, the teams met during their summer training camps, and at that time the Swiss team won 3:1.

These friendly matches are important for improving the teams' playing style and maintaining the players' physical condition.
