Martin Skrtel: “I only have positive memories from St. Petersburg"

The former Zenit man on the Europa League at The Gazprom Arena.
How have things changed since you left your former club? 

We know what Zenit can offer us a good game, but I think that we are ready for this. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to play in St. Petersburg and I'm glad that I've come back here again. I played here for three and a half years and I only have positive memories. 

Have you ever played in February in nice conditions? Is this the first time you will play under a closed roof? 

I've heard a lot about this stadium from Robert Mak and now I've seen it with my own eyes and it's very nice. Especially if you compare it with the Petrovsky, where there were very different conditions. One can only be happy at the opportunity to play in St. Petersburg in February under the roof. This is good for both the players and the fans. 

Fenerbahce didn't concede in Turkey. How will you repeat this in St. Petersburg? 

It's very simple, we need to do what we did in the first half of the game in Istanbul. I think that we can play at the top level.
