The head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg football club Sergey Semak told about the team's departure to Sochi for the upcoming match
On April 11, Zenit will play with Sochi. The last match with the Moscow "Locomotive" for the home team ended in failure "the score is 1:3 in favor of the "red-green".
According to Semak, FC Sochi is a strong, experienced and organized team. Since the last meeting of the teams, the composition of "Sochi" has changed slightly. Zenit players know their opponents and are familiar with the style of play of Sochi football players. But, despite this, the coach of the "blue-white-blue" believes that the match will not be easy, because the opponents have excellent possession of the ball and they have a shot. Currently, Sochi is on the seventh line of the championship standings. According to Sergey Bogdanovich, the position in it depends on luck and implementation, which allow either your team to move up, or this right is intercepted by rivals.
Sergey Semak also noted that the composition of Zenit has not undergone significant changes. Sebastian Druissi returned to the team after rehabilitation from injury. Today he is healthy and ready to fight at full strength. So far, goalkeeper Mikhail Kerzhakov will not take part in the match, who is still gaining form and returning to the conditions that allow him to play a high-quality game. At the meeting with Khimki, Artem Dzyuba once again showed a beautiful game and his professionalism, and is not going to stop in the upcoming match. «Zenith» I am determined to win and I do not intend to concede the championship to my rivals!
