"I will try to score against Zenit again."
According to Idman.biz, Reziuan Mirzov, the Russian football player of "Neftchi", who will play a friendly match with St. Petersburg "Zenit" in Baku, said this at the press conference organized in connection with the match.
The 30-year-old midfielder remembered the interesting moments in the matches with the St. Petersburg team while playing in the Russian Championship: "When the team was completely dominant, I played against Halk, Danny, Witsel. "Zenit" has no longer the same staff, there are tactical changes. This is no longer the previous "Zenit".
The player also added that Tula scored against Zenit while defending the honor of Arsenal. "That season, our club qualified for the European League. I scored one of the goals in the game where we won 4:2 against Zenit. That time, "Arsenal" was a rival to "Neftchi". I will try to stand out in the upcoming friendly match."
He talked about the performance of "Neftchi" in the National Championship. Mirzov said that they will try to correct the situation in the Premier League: "We understand very well what situation we are in." Therefore, it is necessary to change it and start winning. I think that the competition with Zenit will help us to gain confidence and this will be reflected in the results in the championship. We hope to please the fans and it will create positive emotions in them."
The Russian said that he could not participate in the pre-season trainings with "Neftchi" and he also added that he was in shape in the championship games: "The team needed results, I did not have time for trainings with the staff. I was directly included in the team for the match against "Sumgait". Now the situation has improved, I continue to move forward."
Recalling his performance in "Spartak", he said that the representative of Moscow is a big club which has the biggest fans in Russia: "But at that time, there were problems in the team, it was impossible to get the result we wanted. In any case, playing in "Spartak" is one of the memorable moments of my career."
Mirzov stressed that they will try to score as many points as possible in the next rounds of the Azerbaijan Championship: "You say that Neftchi's schedule is difficult, so we should not play?" We have to overcome difficulties together, we need to move forward."
It should be noted that "Neftchi" will face "Zenit" on November 18, at 21:00 at "Neftchi Arena".
