MOSCOW, June 21, Alexander Sergeev. Captain and defender of Spartak Moscow Georgy Jikia told reporters that he does not like to see ex-midfielder Zelimkhan Bakaev in a Zenit shirt from St. Petersburg. Last week Bakaev signed a contract with Zenit. On June 1, due to the expiration of the contract, the player left Spartak. In Zenit, the 25-year-old football player will play under the seventh number. «I hoped to the last that Bakaev would stay. Until the moment when he officially signed a contract with Zenit. I did not want such a player to leave us. I it seems that the Zenit shirt doesn’t suit him,” Jikia said. “By the way, I watched the video from his presentation, which was published by Zenit, where they sit at school. Then Bakaev was still handsome (laughs). We didn't discuss this point. He was asked enough questions as it was. Perhaps in the future this story will also come up. It's so hard for him. I don't think this video was approved by him. I don't understand why the presentation went the way it did. I don’t condemn the PR service of Zenit, but if this was done without his knowledge, then this is a set-up,” Jikia added.
