“Spartak’s Alexander Sobolev Prepares for Intense Battle Against Zenit”

Alexander Sobolev expects a tough match against Zenit on May 7th.

– You have a match with Zenit ahead of you. Some players from this team want to win the championship in a match with Spartak, against a principled rival. How are you set up?

– It’s hard to play in St. Petersburg. The last game, one might say, was combat. Emotions will run high for everyone.

They want the championship, beat Spartak. We want to beat Zenit. Therefore, there will be a serious battle.

– How do you work on yourself so as not to receive such cards as today?

– Today I received a yellow card because there could have been a counterattack. Disruption of the attack – a yellow card, everything is fine.

I did not flare up, it was just an opportunity to get a yellow card. I’m not working on it and won’t be. I am who I am, – said the Spartak forward after the game with Rostov (1:1).

Zenit will become the champion in the next round if Spartak wins, and Rostov does not beat Fakel
