Former Krasnodar and Ural coach Igor Shalimov praised the attacking skills of Lokomotiv midfielder Maxim Glushenkov. His words are quoted “Bookmaker rating”.
“Glushenkov is really handsome, five points; He passed the goalkeeper with the outside of his foot and made a great pass towards the empty goal. This is just a master class for Cassierra, who does not give Sergeev a simple pass. So Glushenkov showed the highest class, and Casierra is just an obstacle.
According to Dziuba, Zenit played masterfully. “Artem won a lot on horseback, Alip was jumping with him, but Zenit played well in rebounding, protecting these balls,” said Shalimov.
On September 24, Lokomotiv beat Zenit away with a score of 2:1. Mateo Cassierra scored midway through the first half. After the break, Maxim Glushenkov and Nair Niknizyan scored the winning goal in extra time.
This was the blue-whites’ second defeat this season. Sergei Semak’s team is third in the Russian Premier League (RPL) table after nine weeks, one point behind Krylya Sovetov and four points behind Krasnodar.
Cassierra has played all nine matches in the RPL this season, scoring eight goals. He is the league’s top scorer.
Previously coach of Shcherbachenko named Zenit’s problems.
