Konstantinov
Zenit Kazan and Lokomotiv Novosibirsk will face each other in the battle for the Russian Cup, while it will be their second head to head clash in the ongoing tournament. And both sides remember the previous game.
Simply because Zenit Kazan head coach Vladimir Alekno accused his colleague Plamen Konstantinov of putting the reserve squad in that match in order to play the semifinals against Belogorie Belgorod…
Alekno said that the God will not like the decision of Lokomotiv Novosibirsk, while Konstantinov answered back when his team qualified for the finals.
“You know, people are discussing that match for two days now. It seems that Alekno has a direct communication with the God, because my God has not told me anything since that game. To put jokes aside, we had an idea that everyone understand. I wanted to give a chance to some reserve players, because we have already qualified for the semifinals. It was my decision and it turned out to be the good one,” said Konstantinov.
