“This season we are facing two more challenges – the playoffs of the Russian championships and the final of CEV Champions League. As a professional, I guarantee that I will give all my skills and heart to win these competitions. The day of the CEV Champions League final match is my daughter’s first birthday, so winning would be the best gift. I part my ways with Zenit in friendship. We do not rule out further cooperation in the future. Best regards to Zenit fans – thank you for your support for all these years. Keep your fingers crossed for me in the future,” the scorer of 68 points in the CEV Champions League added.
