Athletistic/Football. The famous Russian journalist and commentator Gennady Orlov spoke about Zenit head coach Sergei Semak, under whose leadership the blue-white-blue team became champions of Russia six times in a row.

“First of all, I am pleasantly surprised. No one in the world had ever signed a contract in the stadium, in front of everyone, immediately after the championship game. The leaders of Zenit are great, it’s an example, and this image will go around the world. But the most important thing is different. Semak was tasked with continuing his work several rounds before the end of the championship. Do you remember this statement? It was a purely psychological gesture.

As for Semak, he began the press conference by saying that his strength as a coach lies in his faith. A lot of people don’t pay attention to it, but he says it, which means he wants it to be heard. Perhaps this is what helps him to be so balanced and sober within the team. It may be mysticism, but he is truly a legendary person of Russian football and especially St. Petersburg,” Orlov said in a statement to the “Such Football” YouTube channel.
