Yesterday, I finally managed to watch almost the entire game! :)
My impressions are mixed. :) I was happy about the victory, even euphoric! But on the other hand... so many mistakes were made... Pogrebnyak, of course, did well by scoring 2 goals! But if you look closely, he scored thanks to Arshavin and Tekke's amazing passes! That's who I give my respect to, and that's who deserves the credit. As for the other moments, Pogrebnyak simply squandered them, either getting tangled in his own feet – apparently, he forgot which foot was left and which was right – or shooting wide of the goal. In general, they could have scored more, but they didn't. Luckily, they didn't concede any goals. There were moments when it was enough to grab your head and take a Valerian.
But despite all my criticism, Zenit looked very good! I love this team, and I was genuinely happy that Zenit made it to the 1/4 finals. :)
Well done, guys! Tekke, who came on at the right time, added pace to the already tired Zenit. Tymoshchuk also looked very good and energetic! So, there's still some fight left in them. ;)
Congratulations to all the people of St. Petersburg, Zenit fans, and just football lovers on this victory! :smile12: The game was difficult, tense, but we persevered and proved that we can do more! We managed not only to score the 2 goals we needed but also to keep a clean sheet!
Now we're waiting for March 14th (which is already tomorrow), when the draw will take place. :) Hopefully, it won't be Bayern... but whoever it is, it will be. ;)
