Tell us a little about yourself, what do you do? What are your hobbies?
Hello! I’m a student from Italy, I study food and technology in Milan. I love football and play for a team in my home city.
How did you first get interested in Zenit?
I got interested in Zenit in about 2013, I started liking the team after I played with them in a football game and something made me fall in love with Zenit! After this I started following the team in real life.
How do you feel about the Europa League, what are your predictions?
ing we can get to the final, we’ve got a good record in the competition. The first game I ever saw was Zenit v Standard Liege so I’m hoping we can get past another Belgium side in Anderlecht.
Who’s your all-time favourite Zenit player? Who do you like in the current squad and why?
I love Kerzhakov, the “Russian sniper” and Garay was one of my all time favourite players. I play in central defence just like him and wear the number 24 too, I was quite sad when he left.
What’s your best Zenit memory?
I think when we won the league in 2014/15, the draw in the last match to secure the title was great!
What are you hoping for us this season?
A top-two finish in the league and a place in next season’s Champions League and I hope a good performance in Europe.
Which areas of the squad would you like to see Zenit strengthen in? Who realistically should we be looking at signing?
I hope we can look at signing an attacking player to add some fantasy in the middle of the park. Two players I would like us to buy are Ezequiel Lavezzi, (he’s recently gone to China) and Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan.
You live in Monza, How would you describe this city for your fellow fans? What’s the local football like?
I live in Monza which has 120,000 people living in it, it's in between living in a big town and a quiet little village. The main football team here play in the Italian 4th division, the city also has 9 or 10 amateur teams with a lot of history in them.
If Zenit fans plan to visit your part of the world what place is a must-see and what food should they try?
The best thing you can eat is just typical Italian food and the thing you must see is the world famous Autodromo Internazionale Di Monza. A racetrack where formula 1 races take place.
Do you have a message for the manager, The team and all the Zenit fans out there?
I would like to support the Manager’s distinctive way of playing, he is creating something that can live in the supporters memories forever. I think we’ll see some trophies coming to St. Petersburg very soon! Come on the blue-white-sky blues!
Don't forget, Zenit has an Italian language website too!
