Former Zenit striker Andrey Nikolaev in an interview with Sport Weekend estimated the chances of the club's newcomer Nuraly Alip to break into the squad.

Defender "Kairat" and the national team of Kazakhstan moved to the club from St. Petersburg on loan with the right to buy. The agreement is valid until the end of 2022.

"We need to see him in action. For now, this acquisition (loan) is a pig in a poke. Even the patronage of Vagner Love or Andrei Sergeevich Arshavin does not guarantee that he will play. It seems to me that Alip is a promising performer. Something is needed from a young football player I don't believe in the Chistyakov-Alip connection. One definitely won't pull the other out by the ears. Experienced and classy players are needed in defense!" he said.

"Must see" In Russia, they admired Alip's goal and game for Zenit

Recall that in January 2022, the Kazakhstan national team player went with Zenit to a training camp in Dubai, where he fully played the match against the Slovak Zilina (5:0). At the training camp in Lagos, Portugal, Alip opened the scoring for the Blue-White-Blues against Danish Midtjylland and Brondby.
