We spoke to the international defender about the friendly match with Zenit.
"Our first match of the pre-season saw us face a strong Zenit side. It was a perfect way for us to measure where we are. Despite the fact that our Russian opponents had played several friendly games, you could not really see this on the pitch that they were that much ahead of us. We were close to winning, but the result in this game was not the most important. I do not think we can have any complaints about the way we played. I suffered a serious injury last year in our game at Meszokovesd. I have to wear a special mask in the next few months in matches. I do not have to wear the mask in training, and when I first tried it on there were no problems, but honestly speaking, it did seem to affect me in the game. Hopefully I can get fully used to it within 1-2 matches" - commented Attila Fiola to the club website.
