The Russian title-holders Zenit St. Petersburg will continue their European campaign and will face Marseille in the UEFA CUP Round of 16.

The club will suffer hard time as they will have to play tough games both in UEFA Cup and the Russian Premier Liga in March.

"The team is in perfect form now, and I believe we won't have any problems because of tough schedule", said Roman Shirokov to Sport Express.

"The coaching staff will try to prepare players for these matches in right way."

"As for me, I am happy we will have such a tense schedule of games", said Pavel Pogrebnyak.

"I like to play, but not to train, so it will be very challenging to try ourselves against such strong opponents."
