Orlov: Zenit and Sion game for the image

Commentator Gennady Orlov expressed his opinion about the friendly match between the Zenit team and Switzerland's Sion club, calling it an image event. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This game is considered the first competition held between Russian teams and clubs from Western Europe. According to Orlov, the Swiss want to stay away from politics in this game and prioritize football over politics.

He emphasized that the Sion players do not want to get involved in political issues, but it may be difficult for them to achieve this. The game will take place in St. Petersburg and will start at 19:00 Moscow time.

Previously, Sion club president Christian Constantin announced that his team had arrived in St. Petersburg and was ready for the match. This event is significant not only on the sports field but also internationally, serving to strengthen friendship and cooperation between the teams.
