Zelimkhan Bakaev said that the level of the Russian championship is higher than the UAE
Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder Zelimkhan Bakaev, who played on loan for Al-Wahda, compared the level of the Russian and UAE championships. His words are quoted by Match TV.
According to the player, the level of the Russian championship is objectively higher. At the same time, Bakaev positively assessed the experience of playing in the UAE. “It was nice to win something in my first season in another country. And most importantly, I got gaming practice. This is what I wanted most,” said Bakaev.
The player also shared his plans for the near future. “Now the main thing is to have a good summer training camp, and then we’ll see what the Zenit coaching staff decides.” Everything depends on me,” said Bakaev.
Last season, Bakaev played 19 matches for Al-Wahda, in which he scored one goal and made three assists. His contract with Zenit expires in the summer of 2025.
