The commentator also shared his thoughts on the media's criticism of the St. Petersburg.

“I can answer Zenit's criticism of the Moscow media with Moliere's words: “The envious will die, but the envious will never”. Well this is jealousy.

“They say Bush is a coward? He himself understood this. He won the Russian championship three times, but did not leave the group twice. It was important for him to come out in the spring of the euro, and he did. However, this is a step forward. Let's be honest. Can you compare Zenit to Chelsea and Juventus?
