MOSCOW, June 15, Sergey Fuks. CEO of Zenit Alexander Medvedev told reporters that the St. Petersburg football club is capable of playing with anyone, including Champions League finalists Manchester City and Inter.
On Thursday at the stadium «blue-white-blue» is a retromatch with the former players of «Zenith» and the Russian team. The meeting is timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of Zenit's victories in the UEFA Cup and Super Cup, as well as the successful performance of the Russian team at the European Championship, where it won bronze medals.
«It's no coincidence that we had two players called up to the Brazilian first team. Look at how Malcolm interacts in training with Vinicius, for example. We have a team that could play with anyone, including Manchester City and Inter» , — said Medvedev.
In addition to Malcolm, the defender of «Zenith» Robert Renan was called up to the Brazilian national team.
