Athletistic / Football. Former head coach of the Russian national team Valery Gazzaev assessed the start of the new season for Zenit. In three official starting matches (two in the RPL and one in the Russian Cup), the blue-white-blue scored 11 goals and did not concede any.
“I know what it takes to keep a team at such a high level for six or seven years. I have passed that test myself. The players have to be constantly motivated, you have to look for new incentives so that they win trophies every year. That is the art of a coach.
“At the beginning of the season, Zenit looks very confident. Today, St. Petersburg confirms its ambitions and shows that it will fight for all the trophies again. Zenit has made a very good start. I can say that based on the first three matches, the hegemony of this club continues,” Gazzaev said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
In the first two rounds of the RPL, Zenit beat Krylya Sovetov Samara (4:0) and Rubin Kazan (4:0). In the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the National Cup, Sergei Semak’s team beat Fakel Voronezh at home (3:0).
