Jose Couceiro: Zenit are the best team in Russia

Lokomotiv Moscow Portuguese coach Jose Couceiro shared his thoughts on Zenit St. Petersburg upcoming Champions League fixture against Benfica.

«Zenit is the best Russian team, who has the potential to go far in Europe. Yes, they lost Danny to injury, and he is the heart of their attacking strength, but they can still succeed,» the Loko head coach told Mais Futbol.

«It’s very cold in Russia at the moment – it was -29C a few days ago. And there is the matter of snow, which gets in the way of the ball. But even these conditions can be overcome.»
