Zenit coach Oliveira provided insights into the return of Brazilian midfielder Wendel to the team following his vacation. "We did not motivate Wendel in this instance. We initially agreed that he could stay a couple of extra days if we became champions. He returned on time, as was stipulated. Everyone sees that Wendel arrived in good spirits, scored a beautiful goal against Makhachkala's Dynamo, and is training hard to regain his form. We know he can get back into shape quickly, so we are happy to have him with us," said Oliveira in a conversation with Championship correspondent Elvira Bagirova.
