Andrei Martyuk: “Zenit’s bigmen are a good challenge for me”

The Loko center shared his expectations for tomorrow’s game against Zenit.
Zenit will come to take revenge. Are you ready for a tough game?
We are always ready for a fight. During training, we always have tough contact to approach the games well prepared. I hope the stands will be full. It is much easier for us to play in front of our home fans.
Lately, every game for Lokomotiv is a game of the week. How hard is it?
It is hard only just after a long flight. But now, we had a whole week to rest and prepare. So, we approach the game in full readiness.
What can you sat about Zenit?
They play a lot of tactics with an attacking bias. They have a good, strong front line. Playing against such opponents – experienced, big – is very interesting and exciting. It is a challenge for me. You could say it adds motivation.
What should Loko do to defeat them?
The main thing is to stay focused for 40 minutes and play our game. That's what helped us win last time.
