Chelsea will host Zenith St Petersburg in their match day 1 of the 2021/2022 UEFA Champions League season at the Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are in great form at the moment and are yet to loose a game this season. The UEFA Champions League defending champion are the overwhelming favourite to win the match.
But just like
football is unpredictable, you never can tell what might happen. Zenith
St Petersburg have great players who can cause lots of problem for Chelsea.
These players are:
1. Artem
Dzuba: the 33 year old Russian striker will be a threat to the Chelsea defense.
He scored 20 goals in the Russian Premier league last season(2020/2021 season)
to emerge the highest goal scorer in the league.
2. Malcom
Oliveira: the former Barcelona winger is one of the star players for the
Russian based club. The 24 year old winger already has 1 goal in 3 appearances
for his club. Chelsea FC must be on their toes if they wish to control his
dazzling moves.
3. DouglasSantos:
the Brazilian born left full back in conjunction with Malcom(who plays in the
left wing) will seek to cause a whole lot of problem for Recee James. he is a
modern type of full back who goes front to crest chances. He is also good
defensively. Chelsea should watch out for him.
4. Sardar
Azmoun: the 24 year oldIranian striker is one of the most prolific
striker in the Russian Premier league. His combination with Dzuba is a beauty
to behold. He scored 19 goals from 24 matches last season. This season, he has
already scored 5 goals in 6 appearances.
5. LuizClaudinho:
the Brazilian born attacking midfielder is one of the most talented players in
the side. He can unlock any tight defense with his vision and passes. Ngolo
Kante and other midfielders have so much work to do during the match.
