Gorshkov: Sobolev will face challenges in the new season

Former football player Aleksandr Gorshkov, who played as a midfielder for the former St. Petersburg Zenit team, shared his thoughts on the prospects of Zenit's forward Aleksandr Sobolev. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He emphasized that it will not be easy for Sobolev in the new season, as the competition in attack is very strong. According to Gorshkov, due to the presence of experienced players like Luciano and Kassierra in the team, Sobolev will have to work hard to secure a starting position.

Sobolev transferred to Zenit from Moscow Spartak for 9 million euros in the summer of 2024. In the last season, the 28-year-old forward played a total of 32 matches across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists.

Sobolev's addition to the team is expected to further strengthen Zenit's attacking line. He can provide significant help to the team with his experience and skills.

The increased competition will also encourage all players to achieve even higher results. Additionally, Sobolev's adaptation and quick response to changes in the game are considered important.

The Zenit team aims to achieve high results in the new season.
