Which team suits Abduvahid Nematov: "Zenit", "Spartak" or "Krasnodar"?

Abduvohid Nematov, the goalkeeper of the national team of Uzbekistan and the club "Nasaf", gave an interview to the authoritative Russian source - "Match TV".

— Who would you single out from the Russian national team?
— I know Igor Akinfeev, but he does not play for the national team. I remember well how he saved a penalty in the match against Spain at the World Cup. I also saved a penalty shot in the same way as him in the match against the Spaniards at the Olympic Games last year.

— Is Akinfeev among the top goalkeepers in the world?
— I think he will definitely be in the "Top 10". Abbasbek Fayzullaev said a lot of good things about him.

— Didn't you ask for his T-shirt?
— I would really like that, I'll have to ask Abbas.

— What's so great about Fayzullaev?
— A top player, with great technique. He's the "Uzbek Messi".

— You played against the Russian national team. Do you remember that match?
— The match in Tashkent didn't score. Russia is a very strong team, with great players. It wasn't easy then, but the match went well. I would be happy if another match was organized with your team.

— Have you ever been invited to play in Russia?
— No, if there is an offer, I'll think about it.

— Zenit, Spartak or Krasnodar. Does it matter who calls him?
— First, we need to get a specific offer, and then we will come to a decision.
