MOSCOW, Oct 21 Sochi midfielder Christian Noboa is one of the most bright legionnaires in the history of Russian football, said the head coach of St. Petersburg «Zenith» Sergei Semak. On Monday, «Zenith» will take «Sochi» in the match of the 14th round of the championship of Russia. The meeting will begin at 20:00 Moscow time. «Football is a team game. Of course, we must pay attention to Christian's individual qualities — he is one of the brightest legionnaires in the history of Russian football, and the level at which he continues to play speaks of his qualities, professionalism and skill. Of course, the qualities that he has — and a chic kick, and transfers, and vision of the field — allow him to remain at a very high level despite his age, «Semak quotes the club's website. Noboa has been playing in Russia since 2007. Before Sochi, he represented Kazan Rubin, Moscow Dynamo, Rostov and Petersburg Zenit. The 37-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder is a three-time national champion. Last season, the executive committee of the Russian Football Union recognized him as the best player in the Russian Premier League (RPL).
