The Iranian striker of “Zenit”, who has Turkmen roots, Serdar Azmun, in an interview with the official website of “Zenit”, spoke about the results of the Russian championship. In the final season of the RPL, the forward scored 17 goals and became the top scorer of the 2019/20 season.

— Serdar, first of all, we congratulate you on your victory!

— "Thank you!" Congratulations, too.

— You are the top scorer of the championship. How does it feel?

— Fortunately, all the guys helped me with this. If you work hard, you will be rewarded for it.

— Did you have a rivalry with Artyom Dzyuba?

— We had a healthy and fraternal rivalry.

— Your pass to Artyom in the game with “Orenburg” is called very noble.

— If it was someone else, I would still pass. But as I said, we have a fraternal rivalry. I am glad that I managed to make an effective pass to him.

— What are your emotions from this season in the championship?

— It is very, very difficult to win the championship. This is our common merit-the players, the coaching staff, and the staff. Everyone. And the feelings that I have are experienced by all our players. We won the title together.

— The Russian Premier League declared you the top scorer of the championship, referring to the number of goals scored from penalties. Is the regulation fair?

— There is no difference between my 17 goals and Artyom's. I know that it is very, very difficult to score from the penalty spot. When choosing the top scorer, there should be no difference between goals scored from the penalty spot and from the game. I repeat, I know that it is very difficult to implement eleven — meter strikes. My 17 and his 17 are equal.

— For the first time in the history of “Zenit”, there are two top goal scorers in the championship. Are you the perfect match?

— Understanding is important for strikers-and we have it. We can say that we see each other with the back of our heads.

— The Russian Cup Is Ahead. Your expectations?

— We are waiting for a very emotional, tense game with “Himki”. It is important for us to win the Russian Cup. This is a difficult opponent, especially given the victory over Ural on their field. There will be no underestimation on our part.

— You are a two-time national champion, now the top scorer. What are the further goals?

— I always try to help the team. I want to always be a champion.
