[edit] Career
[edit] Club career
Zenit Saint Petersburg's late-developing holding midfielder was Russian Footballer of the Year in 2007, probably most notably for his scoring ability shown in August 2007 alone when he scored six league goals for Zenit.
Zyryanov can also play at the back and, in addition, has been used as a creative/goalscoring role by Zenit coach Dick Advocaat.
In 2008, he scored against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup to help earn his side a place in the final against Scottish club Rangers. He followed that up with the second goal in the final against Rangers to give Zenit a 2–0 victory and lift the title.[1]
