Former footballer Aleksandr Kanishev criticized the performance of the Saint Petersburg "Zenit" club players at the start of the season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, after the match against "Spartak," the "Zenit" team is currently not in good shape. Kanishev stated that Jerson and Luis Enrique are not playing at their level; they are moving slowly on the field.
According to the expert, these players are not fully fulfilling their duties. Kanishev is also dissatisfied with Markus Wendell's performance.
He believes the Brazilian player is playing poorly because he did not participate in the preseason training sessions with the team. After five rounds of the Russian championship, "Zenit" is in ninth place with six points.
The current state of the team worries the fans, and the coaches need to work on improving the team. Throughout the season, more effort is required to improve the players' performance and lead the team to higher positions.
