Syomin: Changes at Zenit affected the result

Famous Russian coach Yuri Syomin commented on the reasons for the poor performance of the "Zenit" team in the initial matches of the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In his opinion, the difficulties faced by "Zenit" are primarily related to significant changes within the team. Secondly, the players were not given enough time to adapt to the new conditions.

Some players did not join the training sessions together. Additionally, the teams that faced "Zenit" also demonstrated good performances.

For this reason, Yuri Syomin believes that the results in the initial rounds were poor. The specialist also emphasized that the team's head coach Sergey Semak should not be dismissed despite the current results.

He should be given confidence and time, as changes are still ongoing within the team. For reference, "Zenit" has started the championship in the worst way in the last 17 years.

The team has only accumulated five points over four rounds. This result has caused various reactions among fans and specialists.

At the same time, the team needs to work on improving the situation ahead.
