Konstantin Zyryanov switched to St. Petersburg club from
Torpedo and managed to show his best contributing much to his team's success
both in the Russian championship and the UEFA Cup campaign.
"I started my career in Amkar and I needed time to get used to Premier
Liga", said Zyryanov to Sport Express.
"When I moved to Torpedo I picked up a serious injury and had to
miss half a year out of action and train individually."
"So I had enough time to get used to Moscow and missed football so
much that I made a brilliant start to my career in Torpedo as I scored
three goals in five games."
"Torpedo management put trust in me and gave me a chance to shake
off my injury and return to full fitness."
"Vitaly Shevchenko told me they counted on my services so I could
focus on rehabilitation process."
"I spent seven years in Torpedo uniform and I am thankful to Vladimir
Aleshin for their offer to join their club."
"I am grateful for them since Torpedo let me switch to Zenit and
fight for the Russian Premier Liga gold medals."
Konstantin Zyryanov also won the Sport Express' Russian National team
leader award in 2007.
His teammate Andrei Arshavin and CSKA halfback Yuri Zhirkov occupied the
second and the third places respectively.
