Gazprom Funding Cuts: Impact on Zenit & Russian Football

“Gazprom has less money. This is bad for our football.” Tkachenko – about Zenit

Nikolai Gordeev

Famous football agent German Tkachenko spoke about the financial situation of St. Petersburg Zenit.

– Zenit has less money than before. Well, just less. CSKA is an elastic story from a financial point of view. You are silent, but in fact they sold players for €23 million. When people are in the mood, they will find the money.

Zenit announced some savings. With the arrival of Zyryanov, this was one of the reasons for the changes that occurred. When we met with Zyryanov, he said that now everything will be calmer. A kind of common sense filter, as they call it. No stupid decisions. But at the same time, I see attempts by Brazilian negotiations. This means that if they want it, they will find the money.

– The reason for the new policy?
– Gazprom has less money. This is bad for our football,” Tkachenko said in a show on the YouTube channel “This is football, brother!”
