Commentator Gennady Orlov spoke about the current state of Zenit against the background of the defeat of the St. Petersburg team from Rubin (1: 2) in the 12th round RPL
“To my mind, “Zenith” played even worse than against Club Brugge. Few things turn out, they don’t stick … Perhaps, the players could not stand the storm of criticism, and deserved one, after the Champions League.
In the theater there is such a concept – “crisis of the genre”. It happens. But now the coaches need to figure it out, to dig. Zenit was again academic. Where are the burning eyes, where is the thirst for struggle? Here “Ruby” exploded and turned everything upside down.
A difficult period for Semak. A serious test for the whole team. The people in St. Petersburg were simply killed. The fans shrug their shoulders, they cannot understand anything. How can you play the second match in a row at home like that?
With such football, Zenit, of course, will not become a champion. We must put on a quality game. Then the glasses will come. Slutsky did it. He has good guys, you can’t say anything, ”the journalist shared his thoughts.
