Head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg Sergey Semak said that his team has become weaker compared to the 2022/23 season, when the “blue-white-blue” won gold medals at the Russian Championship.
On Saturday, Zenit defeated Grozny Akhmat with a score of 2:1 in the match of the 13th day of the WORLD RPL.
— A difficult match, as expected, Akhmat knows how to defend himself. They brought the ball back to them and overall didn’t play very reliably on defense in the first half. In the second half, things improved with this component. A great union victory.
Claudinho had a headache before the match and it got worse as the match progressed. God grant that nothing bad happens to him.
We have become weaker compared to last season, so we have to rebuild. Krasnodar deservedly gained very decent momentum, but the championship is long, we will give our 100%.
The start of the season was not very successful for the team and for Renan. In the next game, he will have a good chance to compete for a spot in the starting lineup.
We criticize a lot, but we don’t praise judges enough when they do a good job. Today there was good refereeing,” Semak said at a press conference.
Zenit scored 26 points and moved closer to leader Krasnodar (28). Akhmat extended his winless streak in the Russian Championship to six matches and occupies 13th place in the standings with 12 points.
