Zenit responded to the video prepared by the Moscow Dinamo team about the abolition of serfdom in Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In it, Ivan Sergeev's transfer was shown to be related to this historic reform. Earlier, the Dinamo team had presented a mini-scenario showing the transfer of the striker in the context of the reforms of 1861.
The video also raised the issue of moving the centenary celebration of the Zenit team to the next season. Zenit, in turn, published a photo based on an image of a person depicted in imperial advisor attire in that video.
In it, he is holding the book "The Lower Depths" by Maxim Gorky. Through this response, Zenit aimed to express its position on the transfer issue and eliminate misunderstandings among fans.
It is worth noting that the St. Petersburg team intended to either reclaim Ivan Sergeev or facilitate his transfer to Spartak. This was intended to prevent Dinamo from strengthening.
However, the striker preferred to join Valery Karpin's team. Thus, the player made his decision and began playing for his new team.
This situation generated significant interest among fans of both clubs. The rivalry between Zenit and Dinamo has reached a new level.
