Zenit Head Coach Sergey Semak He spoke about the problems with the “blue, white, and blue” team’s play.
The players we have. Some lack stability. We expect Zenit to play like that. In the last two matches, we possessed the ball, we possessed a lot of it. In a match, like with Rubin, it was good to create. With the “locomotive,” the same possession lacked gravity, there wasn’t enough quality in the final move, the final pass. And, of course, there’s no need to make mistakes. As for defense, in fact, we play normally here in every match. As for offense, we lack stability, scoring goals, and correct actions at the end. We will work on that.
I think everyone understands perfectly and knows that we were looking for a player similar to Claudino. Of course, there was a player who came to us and, of course, wanted to take him for the same position. Players, creative players, play an important role in any team’s game. Take away one or two players from Krasnodar or the leaders of Spartak, and of course, it will be a loss. And every team will face the loss of one or another player depending on the resources available. Of course, any creative player who helps, creates, knows how to give, has the ability to make unusual decisions, is important for any team. Therefore, now, of course, we must rebuild what we are doing, look. Unfortunately, we are not enough for these times. First of all, the attacking group lacks stability of the players who come out. The game will play well, the game is a little worse. There is not enough stability, in my opinion.
