Zenit striker Alexander Sobolev spoke about the competition with Colombian John Duran, who played for the Russians last season during a loan. "His arrival had a 100% influence. John is a good guy, but I ended up winning the competition _(smiling)_. And of course, it was interesting to compete with someone whose transfer valuation is €70 million. I really enjoyed that experience", said Sobolev in an interview with the Match TV channel. It is worth remembering that Sobolev was Zenit's top scorer in the 2025/2026 season, scoring 13 goals.
