Yekaterinburg head coach “Urals” Viktor Gancharenko explained the choice of line-up for the sixth round game of the Russian Premier League (RPL) WORLD with “Zenith” .
The meeting will take place on Saturday in Saint Petersburg, the starting whistle will sound at 15:00 Moscow time.
– What are the changes in the composition?
— We understand that the season is long, so a rotation is necessary. We have players with certain qualities that suit Zenit more, others less so. A rotation according to the adversary is also necessary.
– What qualities does Ibrahim Cissé have better at Zenit than Timur Ayupov?
– If Ayupov is the player who can run in the penalty area, then Cissé can win the ball in the middle of the field, which is important today.
– Why is Guilherme Shettin in the attack, and not Aleksey Kashtanov?
– Kashatnov played in the last round because Shettin was sent off earlier and couldn’t play. I decided to bet on him today. Even today, there will be many Brazilians on the pitch.
The team has a lot of injured players. What is the resource of the successful performance of the Urals at the start of the season?
It doesn’t matter who is injured. It is important to understand how ready players will play today. We are not waiting for those who will return. It is clear that they will come back one day and we will introduce them to the team. It is important for us to correctly assess the players who are ready to play today and achieve the desired result for us.
– Is the composition of Zenit unexpected for you?
– No. Of course, we were expecting (Strahinja) Erakovic, but in any case, Zenit have a quality workforce and players capable of defending, keeping the ball and attacking. I don’t think it changes anything for the Urals,” Gancharenko said on .
