Emiliano Rigoni: “I have another chance”

The Argentinian midfielder has returned to the club from Atalanta and spoke to us about his plans for the season.
Emiliano how do you feel about coming back to Zenit? 

I'm happy to return here. I understand that this is another chance for me and I hope I can use it. 

Tell us about the last six months in Atalanta, have you added to your game? 

Serie A is a fairly strong league. I feel that I have developed both technical and physical. There is a slightly different game system, I played at a slightly different position compared to Zenit. I feel like a more valuable football player compared to the first zenith stage. 

What are your hopes for the UEFA Europa League?

We are always aiming for the highest goals. Zenit are a strong team that wants to succeed in Europe. We should think like winners and not lower the bar. We have a wonderful and high-quality squad. Overall, the Europa League is one of the most important tournaments this season for us. 

You're playing Fenerbahce next, what do you know about this team? 

I know this team and they are one of the strongest in Turkey. We are waiting for a tough game. Fenerbahce have extensive international experience and regularly play in Europe. We will start preparing for this match right now and be ready.
