Saint Petersburg head coachStars » Dmitry Kombarov in an interview with , he said that the club has everything it needs to enter the MELBET First League, and next season the task of rising in the class could be set.
Zvezda plays in the second division. The team takes sixth place in the Group 2 standings of the second stage of the tournament. Kombarov led Zvezda in July 2022, it’s the first club in the 36-year-old former Spartak footballer’s coaching career.
– “Star” this year does not show the result it was in the fall. Why does this happen?
Somehow bad luck. In the first match (against Torpedo Vladimir, 0-1), we had possession of the ball for 75% of the playing time, the opponent had a “bus” on goal, and in the 96th minute we missed a counter- attack and lost. You saw the second game (against Spartak Kostroma – 0:2), I don’t even want to discuss it, and the third game (against Murom – 2:3) was also lost. Maybe on the case, or maybe they didn’t deserve the loss. But our game has not disappeared: the team is fast, we dominate, we attack. All that remains is to return the result.
– Opponents began to connect differently?
– I think so. Everyone watches our matches, and if you watch the post-match press conferences, all the opposing coaches compliment Zvezda.
– Does the club’s development plan involve the promotion of Zvezda to the first division?
– He is. This season it will be difficult to climb higher, because from the first round we did not face such a task. It was important to develop the young players, the club and the structure as a whole. And now, when everything is in place, we have all the tools necessary to enter the Premier League. Therefore, if all goes well, in the next championship we will set ourselves the task of increasing the class from the first round.
– Is your contract for the new season?
– No, it ends when it’s over. Let’s see how it goes, let’s discuss this problem with management. The club is setting serious goals and wants to grow. What I see makes me look to the future with optimism, Kombarov told .
