Napoli head coach Luciano Spalletti has gone out of his way to congratulate Zenit on winning the Russian championship.
"If Napoli win the championship, if Zenit become champions, it means that both we and Zenit are double champions! We love the same things: the sea, the sky, we have the same colours.
Both we and Zenit like to win trophies. Congratulations to my boss - Alexey Miller (chairman of the board of Gazprom). Congratulations to my friend - Sergei Semak (head coach).
Congratulations to the players and the whole Zenit team! I love you! Come on, Zenit!"- Spalletti said.
