The head coach “Zenith » Sergey Semak told that the “blue-white-blue” rarely shoot at their opponents’ goal from long distance, because the St. Petersburg team has few players capable of making a good shot from afar.
On Saturday, Zenit tied with Krylia Sovetov from Samara with a score of 1:1 in the match of the 22nd day of the RPL.

— Are the substitutions in the match with the “Wings” related to the condition of the players or the planned rotation due to the large number of matches in the coming week and, in particular, the cup match with “Spartak » ?
— The terrain was quite difficult. There was pressure on Krylia’s goal, but we wanted to add freshness. Andrei Mostovoy could have scored. We put players on the pitch who can also score, but they are fresher.
— What was the main reason for the loss of points?
– Our mistakes. In the first half, one of them led to a missed goal. As for the result, the implementation let us down. We took a lot of corners, played with a big advantage and had a few chances. I won’t say this in an exorbitant amount, but enough to win. Unfortunately, they didn’t score.
— Why, in such a situation, when it is not possible to convert chances in the penalty area, did Zenit not use long-range shots?
— We must take into account the individual abilities of the players. Unfortunately, we don’t have many players who can shoot well from distance. So there are few strikes,” Semak told .
