Former footballer Yuri Zheludkov commented on the performance of the Saint Petersburg team "Zenit" in the current season of the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to the expert, "Zenit" is trying to improve its position in the tournament table this season, but the team's game still has problems. Their play is slow and sluggish compared to teams like CSKA, Lokomotiv, or Krasnodar.
While the opponents play fast football, "Zenit" focuses more on circulating the ball on the field. Zheludkov emphasized that "Zenit" is unable to organize quick attacks, which is the team's main drawback.
After the 7th round of the Russian Premier League, the team led by Sergey Semak is in fifth place in the tournament table with 12 points. Thus, "Zenit" is striving to improve its game throughout the season but still lags behind its competitors.
The team's main task is to speed up attacks and increase activity on the field.
