Constantine Lepekhin: I expect from the “Zenith” high-level game – Soviet Sport

The former midfielder “Zenith” Konstantin Lepekhin shared his expectations from the match with “Valencia” and expressed confidence that St. Petersburg is physically ready for the Champions League.

– Selection of players from the “Zenith” is such that they are unlikely to experience a special thrill to the start of the Champions League. They have behind them the experience of playing in major tournaments, including in the composition of teams. I think there is nothing wrong with that blue-white-blue immediately begin the tournament with an away match, perhaps the strongest contender. If successful scenario players grow wings, they will be easier to play in subsequent matches of the group. But if the team is defeated, then do not worry: there will be time to fix it.

«Valencia” deserves respect even by the fact that successfully performs in the Spanish championship. But the composition, in my opinion, the teams are equal. On the other hand, a lot depends on how the selection of players to interact productively. I expect from the “Zenith” play a high level. Yes, all is not well formed at St. Petersburg in the championship, but once the team has to shoot. Recently, I had to watch the game of the Spanish team. Yes, it is a strong contender, but the “Zenith” has a strong selection of players.

Petersburgers are ready physically, but are experiencing psychological difficulties. It is hoped that the blue-white-blue divide two of the tournament – the Champions League and Premier League. Domestic league too simple for the “Zenith”. This involves problems with the outcome, as often there is an underestimation of the opponent – said Lepekhin in the air, “Radio Zenit.”

Recall that today, “Zenit” will hold its first match of the group round of the Champions League against the “Valencia”. Sovsport.ru hold a translation of the text of the meeting.
