Semak explained Zenit’s loss of concentration in the match with Krasnodar

Zenit head coach Sergei Semak explained the loss of concentration of his team after the third goal scored in the match against Krasnodar in the tenth round of the RPL. His words are quoted by Sport Express.

“Of course, the rhythm of the game turned out to be crumpled for many. We have 11 people who played for the national team. Plus psychologically, when you score the third, of course, there is a certain feeling, probably still some kind of relaxation,” said the specialist.

He added that it is impossible to dominate 90 minutes on the road against such an opponent. “We should not forget that we are playing with Krasnodar, with a team that, along with Zenit, plays very high-quality football and achieves good results,” Semak emphasized.

The St. Petersburg club won in Krasnodar with a score of 3:2. The guests were leading 3:0, but the hosts pulled back two goals. Maxim Glushenkov scored a double, and Alexander Sobolev scored another goal.

After ten rounds, Zenit leads the RPL standings with 21 points.
