Zenit General Director Alexander Medvedev commented on the transfer of team captain Croatian defender Dejan Lovren to Lyon.
“This transition is associated with unstable emotions. On the one hand, we are happy for a football player to play in one of Europe’s five leading championships. On the other hand, I will not hide that it is sad to leave our captain, who plays a big role both on the field and in the dressing room.
