Head Coach “Zenith” Sergei Semak rated the game Zelimkhan Bakayev in his first meeting for the team, and also commented on the situation with the arrival of Wilmar Barrios.
The day before, Zenit beat PARI NN on penalties (1:1, 5:3 pen) in the opening game of the PARI Premier Cup, Bakaev appeared on the pitch early in the second half.
– How do you like Bakaev’s debut?
– It was more difficult for him to prove himself compared to those who played in the first half. Some of our young guys came home from vacation yesterday. Naturally, a lot depends on the partners. But we already know its strengths very well. Today he moved a lot, tried to make it worse. He scored a good ball from the penalty spot, we have no doubt that he will help. In terms of movement, in terms of recoil, at will, of course, there are no questions. As for teamwork, of course, it was difficult for him to prove himself one hundred percent.
– There were reports that Barrios may suspend the contract and not return to St. Petersburg. Do you have data?
– No, we are expecting him tomorrow, today I don’t have this information. I don’t think this decision surprised anyone. There was a time, we were in contact with him. Until today I have not received any news, we are expecting it tomorrow.
In the next match of the PARI Cup, Premier Zenit will play on June 25 with Sochi.
