Athletistic/Football. Famous football commentator and journalist Gennady Orlov explained how Zenit St. Petersburg achieves its latest success.

“There is an ancient wisdom of English football: if you want to understand a team, look at its midfield. In the case of Zenit under the leadership of Semak, all recent victories are determined by this line. There is no doubt about it. While Spartak does not have such strength in the center of the field While Wendel and Claudinho were absent from the field, Spartak’s midfield still resisted, but in the second half it could not resist Zenit.

The same can be said of Dynamo Moscow. If control in the middle of the field is lost, then all is lost. Although it is an old football wisdom, it is true: the center of the field is the springboard for the attack. If you control the center of the field, there are plenty of opportunities to create dangerous situations in front of the opponent’s goal! This may seem trite, but on every tour we encounter this,” Orlov shared in an interview with a journalist from “Championship”.
