The captain and defender of St. Petersburg's Zenit team, Douglas Santos, revealed the reasons why the team could not secure the championship for the seventh consecutive time last season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Santos, Zenit did not achieve sufficiently good results in home games during the Russian Premier League competition. The team should have learned from losing points and tried not to repeat mistakes.
However, such attention was lacking. Santos also emphasized that they made mistakes in the cup competition.
Zenit lost to the CSKA team in the final during the penalty shootout, missing the opportunity to reach the Superfinal. The team members lost the match due to a lack of vigilance and focus at the end of the game.
In the first round of the new season, Zenit defeated the Rostov team with a score of 2:1. This victory gave the team hope for better results in the new season.
Zenit fans are looking forward to the team's future games with great hope.
