Introduction

Transfers

Zenit made four fantastic signings this summer, all of which are expected to be thrown into the first team, here they are;

Ander Herrera

CA:
PA:

Keisuke Honda

CA:
PA:

Timo Horn

CA:
PA:

Jese Rodriguez

CA:
PA:

In my opinion, these are some fantastic signings and I can't wait to field them all, Jese and Herrera have potential to become really good players as does Horn, an Honda should hopefully add a bit of experience to the midfield.

July - Topping the table!

Russian super cup

Zenit vs CSKA Moscow

This a match I thought was possible to win, however...at the end of the game we ran out the losers. There are so many factors we could use as excuses and those factors are probably the reason we lost.
We started off the game with many injuries and no depth on the bench, I was also thrown into this game 3 days after I had joined the club, we were 1-0 up for most of the game but fatigue got the better of us as Doumbia scored a lucky (Yes it was lucky) goal in the 89th minute, and it wasn't long before CSKA scored again to win the cup.

Russian Premier Division

Zenit vs Tom

The next game was against Tom, and we put our annoyances to bed by demolishing them 9-0!!!
Centre back, Lombaerts showed the strikers how to score, getting four of the 9 goals scored, Hulk, Jese and Kerzhakov also added to the scoreboard.

Rostov vs Zenit

After a comfortable 9-0 win, I was obviously confident of a win against Rostov, we got the three points but not as comfortably as the last game, although it was a very good result winning 3-1, Lombaerts even scored making it 5 in two games for him! Kerzhakov also got his second goal of the season.

Zenit vs Rubin Kazan

Our first real test in the league this season came against Rubin, although once again we thrashed our opponents 4-1 putting ourselves top of the table and our goal difference has gone through the roof!

Champions league play offs

Zenit vs Grasshoppers

So we set ourselves a 100% record this month finishing it off away to grasshoppers winning 2-1 and getting the all important away goals, Lombaerts scored once again and has now got 8 goals this season in all competitions (He scored two against Rubin as well).

Monthly review

A fantastic month for Zenit, going unbeaten and winning ever game, we even scored 19 goals throughout the month, and our solid centre back Lombaerts scored 8 of them! A fine month, To putting ourselves top of the league on nine points.

Player of the month

POTM will go to Lombaerts this month, as if there was any doubt, he scored 8 out of our 19 goals and has stayed very strong at the back, I can't wait to see what he can do next month, we have some hard games coming up and we need him and his strength to shoulder off other threats!
