Spalletti poked Semak and is sure that his former club will be fine. Sokker.ru doubts, because Zenit hasn't changed much.
Test matches - for coaches
Luciano jokingly called Sergei Bogdanovich “the best coach in the world” and admitted that everything would be good for Zenit. The team won four wins at the training camp, and in the fifth match they had a shootout with beautiful goals against Inter. Moreover, they could even have won if they had correctly responded to Ernani's gorgeous blow. Or if the referee would not have put a controversial penalty to Lunev's goal.
All these results are not a reason to overstate. For years you have to repeat this thought, because sparrings should be judged as if you were not fans or spectators, but part of the coaching staff. It is important to compare the player's readiness now with how he usually plays at the peak. Evaluate tactics - Semak insists that even in the shootout with Inter there was enough food for analytical thought.
It is useful to understand that they will physically add, full concentration and full contact in martial arts in such games cannot be - people take care of their legs for the season. Finally, do not overestimate the result in freight trains, as only the season will judge. Wins, draws or defeats - it doesn't matter. It is important to look deeper and wider. And if you do so, it is understandable - Semak's team has enough disadvantages.
Who will play at the base?
The problem of Semak "Zenith" is that at best it is "Zenith" Lucescu, at worst - you know whose. Lunev, Anyukov, Mak, Noboa, Ernani, Neto, Shatov, Dzyuba and Ivanovich played for Mircea. And they didn't succeed in the end. Then Mancini came, brought the Argentines - again, everyone goes to the field at Semak.
Everyone at the training camp is a contender for the base, except for Kerzhakov and Lodygin, because Lunev is the main goalkeeper. But it is not yet clear what the base of Zenit will be, because with Genoa and Inter they have tested different options, and the result with five conceded goals showed that there is no team played, although there are no new faces either, because there are no transfers.
The likely line-up of Zenit at the start of the season (4-4-2): Lunev - Anyukov, Ivanovich, Mevlya, Nabiullin - Mac, Paredes, Noboa, Shatov - Dzyuba, Driussi.
Semak want to use?
The money was not given, they were not allowed to execute. As if they reminded the coach that Semak came because no one agreed more, and Mancini turned out to be a temporary figure, like Lucescu. But Sergei Bogdanovich cannot agree to be "comfortable."
As soon as Semak becomes a wedding general - give up talking about the return of the favorite to a powerful game and confident victories at least in the RPL. After all, it is obvious that Sergei Bogdanovich and his reputation were hiding behind. There was an idea to hide behind a lawyer, but they decided not to torture the old man. The season will be bloodthirsty.
What weaknesses are visible at the training camp?
We take into account that these are friendly matches, and we look more at the structure of the game than at the specific decisions of individual players. What's wrong with team play?
1. Lunev is not in charge of the defense. It was a problem before, because Andrey is an excellent goalkeeper, but a loner. The defense is torn off from the goalkeeper, which leads to blunders, because Kerzhakov and Lodygin also do not order Mevla, Neto and Ivanovich. Lun, as his partners call him, also upsets his approach to the penalty kick. Andrey and Dziuba play series in training, and the striker makes saves more often, and he wondered with Inter, and Icardi scored.
2. The defense is still a mess. Errors of the Spartak scale. Here the reason is partly that the composition is constantly shuffled, because even without Krishito, Zhirkov and Mammana there are two sets of defenders. Semak asks to play compact - they are too pressed into the penalty area. Mevlya, if not fry, then corrects other people's gross mistakes, because Neto is back in every sense. Nabiullin is terrible in defense so far. Anyukov constantly does not have time. There is no fusion of experience and youth, and there is no bright accent that Krishito was.
3. Zenith needs a destroyer. A huge misfortune - none of those who took to the field at the training camp convinced of the role of Cerberus, not even Kranevitter. Partly because there is no player in a specific position - a pure defensive midfielder, partly because of the lack of a concept of the game. Ozdoev is one task, Noboa is another, Paredes is a third, and so on until Ernani. Opponents often hit from a distance and occupy the spaces between the lines. Even Genoa players got seconds to make decisions and beautiful passes from the spot like Kroos or De Bruyne.
4. The playmaker is also lacking. Who is the leader of this team? If Dziuba, then stands in front of a pillar or puts pressure, there is not enough movement for leadership. And Paredes is exactly the same as it was last season. Kokorin is not yet ready to play, although he trains, but Alexander is also not the new Hulk or Danny. The leader who was in the championship years - remember Zyryanov, Shirokov or Arshavin, is missing. There are few subtle decisions when we talk about a combination game. Of the last six goals, not a single team goal.
5. Semak puts on a primitive game. Maybe in the future Sergei Bogdanovich will please with original ideas, but he started from scratch. Zenit is as simple as two kopecks, which is dangerous for a team that breaks buses. It is unclear how the crisis of positional attacks will be overcome. They put pressure on diligently, but did not see the team goals. If you call "Zenith" a week before the start of the season nothing, it will be a statement, not an insult. Of course, this is a momentary assessment, you need to watch the official matches, but coach Semak is not original - a fact. However, there is a good reason.
On the field "team of losers"?
Lucescu complained that they had taken away Garay, Witsel and Hulk, and that they had not given money for strong players. Partly right. Mancini gave money - brought in, but not those. And now to rake Semak. Zenit will start the season as the old Lucescu-Mancini team, with the edits of the new coach and without Criscito. However, they are again RPL favorites. For the third year in a row, many Sokker.ru readers in the championship poll put on the team from St. Petersburg!
The richest club, now humiliated by the fifth place, wants to take revenge. But what is Sergei Bogdanovich able to do to force Smolnikov, Neto, Ernani, Shatov, Driussi and Paredes to spend a fabulous stable season, and Zenit to become a team without conflicts and a team without obvious flaws? How to make opponents afraid of them without changing the application?
Obviously, after all, Semak agreed to start the season with the people of Lucescu and Mancini and only then make changes. In theory, it might work. After all, what unites the charges of Sergei Bogdanovich? The previous coaches did not squeeze the maximum out of them. On the other hand, Zenit takes a big risk - it gives the right to revenge to players with an impressive history of failures.
Left the central figure in the defense of Ivanovich, although Bano cannot cope and throws off the responsibility on Mevlu. They did not find a replacement for Krishito, Chernov and Nabiullin on the left, both weaker than Smolnikov on the right, although Igor himself is not ideal. They returned old Anyukov. They did not add a destroyer to the scheme, relying on Paredes and Noboa. They have no alternative for the tired Dziuba ahead. Zabolotny is the same as he was in the spring, but Kokorin is not ready.
So far, Zenit's attack is worse than that of Ufa. Naked improvisation and long shots against Genoa and Inter. With such a set of not just unresolved, but even unresolved problems, the traditional favorite can lose many points. And then panic purchases in winter will not save the season. Refusing purchases, Sergei Bogdanovich acted humanly.
But those who hired him are inactive. They did not give money for the players of the highest class. They were not allowed to clear the application. How independent is the new coach? At the same time, in St. Petersburg, they are waiting for a new dessert from what was lying around in the refrigerator. The paradox, but the danger is precisely that the start can be successful. Where was Zenit Lucescu after 12 matches? At first, I shared the lead. Have you forgotten where Mancini's Zenit was after 13 rounds? That's right - first.
Is it possible to believe that the footballers, taken not under Sergei Bogdanovich, but under Mircea and Roberto, will play better at the end of the season without them? Here you are not "Ufa", there is no Gancharenko's baggage, restructuring is more difficult. “Zenith” objectively has a lot of unresolved tactical, personnel and not only troubles, so. And if the kind coach Semak makes mistakes, the team will perform even more primitive than in previous seasons.
There is nowhere to fall in the table below, but there is still little reason for a quality breakout. "Zenith" Semak puts on motivation and revanchism, they have a remake of "Suicide Squad". They enter the season without signing, after the loss of Criscito and the return to the application of those who failed three seasons in total, giving the championship to CSKA, Spartak and Lokomotiv.
Roberto Mancini will play their last match as head coach Zenith May 13, when the Petersburgers in the game of the 30th round of the Premier League will host SKA-Khabarovsk.
Zenit by this moment lost the chances of getting into the Champions League and will play in the Europa League next season.
And they were voiced by the famous insider of Russian football, commentator Nobel Arustamyan.
Sergey Semak
Representatives of Zenit in an interview confirmed that Russian specialists appear in the shortlist, and of course, this is none other than Sergei Semak, whom fans have long dreamed of seeing on the team's coaching bridge.
After finishing his playing career, he remained in the St. Petersburg club as an assistant to Luciano Spalletti, Andre Villas-Boas and Mircea Lucescu, from time to time acting as acting. head coach.
Having worked as an assistant in the Russian national team, Sergei Bodanovich set off on an independent voyage and headed Ufa, practically bringing the middle peasant of the Russian Premier League to the Europa League (if in the last round the Ufa players keep the sixth place).
Semak himself has said more than once that he does not mind trying himself in a club with ligochempional ambitions. According to rumors, apart from the variant with Zenit, he has an offer from Krasnodar.
The management of Ufa will not interfere with Sergei Bogdanovich's departure for promotion, and will even be glad that such a specialist has been raised.
Shamil Gazizov General Director of Ufa "Zenith" did not come to us about Semak. But I have said more than once that if Sergei Bogdanovich has an offer from a grand, we will not interfere. There is such an option in his contract. Information about his possible departure appears quite often. Therefore, we are calm about such news. But, of course, we will be very pleased if our coach leads such a club. In other words, we will be proud if Sergei Bogdanovich becomes the head coach of Zenit. We will definitely not fix any obstacles! If people grow up and progress like that, this should only be welcomed. Sinisha Mikhailovich
The Serbian specialist, according to Arustamyan's sources, is very interested in an invitation from Zenit, but he is not a favorite of the Petersburgers, which is not surprising.The career of a specialist who managed to work as Mancini's assistant at Inter did not work out as a successful independent coach.
Mikhailovic has failed in the national teams of Serbia and Milan, he works best as a “firefighter” -motivator, saving small clubs from relegation, or with middle peasants like Sampdoria and Torino, for which reaching European cups is already a success. Although even from the Turin club Mikhailovich was asked back in February.
The St. Petersburg club sets itself more serious tasks, and even the Europa League is equated with failure here.
Drazen Mikhailovich Brother of Sinisha Mikhailovich, Sinisha is ready to move to Russia. This is a great country where you can work well and progress. Such a move will definitely not be a problem. I know about interest in him from Russia. Will he head Zenit? I think the odds are 50-50. Maurizio Sarri
According to Arustamyan, the head coach of Napoli is very much anxious to see the chairman of the board of directors of the club, Alexander Dyukov, in Zenit.
The moment for this turned out to be a good one - the specialist who missed the scudetto and unsuccessfully performed in the Champions League quarreled with the president of Napoli Aurelio De Laurentiis and is ready to leave the Neapolitans, having bought his contract signed until 2020 for 500 thousand euros.
But the St. Petersburg club is unlikely to be high on the list of priorities of a serious Italian specialist, who, according to media reports, are claimed by Chelsea, Tottenham, Monaco and Borussia Dortmund.
And Napoli itself hopes to find mutual understanding with the coach, whom, after two years of successful performance of the Neapolitans, the fans fell in love.
All these options look much more attractive than Zenit, and the Petrograd people can only seduce Sarri with a huge salary.
Maurizio Sarri Napoli head coach If the president is happy with my work, great. If not, it's a pity. Then there is only one way out - to leave. If he calls me, I'll talk to him. Napoli fans can make the experience here an unforgettable experience, but it also instills fears about how things might end. This makes you think that it is better to leave when there is mutual love between you, than to wait for difficult moments. Questionable
Several more candidates for the post of Zenit mentor appear more as rumors of varying degrees of credibility.
Dick Advocate
The information regarding the Dutch specialist is contradictory. According to Nobel Arustamyan's information, which, according to him, was confirmed by two competent sources, Advocate, like three previous coaches, is included in the Zenit shortlist.
Meanwhile, first commentator Georgy Cherdanesev on Twitter, and then an unnamed representative of the St. Petersburg club in an interview with Sovetsky Sport said that Advocaat was not among the candidates for the post of Zenit head coach.
Nevertheless, the Dutchman, who heads Sparta Rotterdam until the end of the season, once became an undoubted success of the St. Petersburg management. During the period of his work, the championship, the UEFA Cup, and the European Super Cup fell on.
Under the Advocate, Arshavin shone and went to England, Shirokov opened up, Denisov spent his best years. At the same time, a balance was observed between Russians and legionnaires, and there were no conflicts and squabbles.
Of course, it is impossible to enter the same river twice, Dick Advocaat is unlikely to be able to return Zenit's golden years, but he could have tightened the nuts in the loose mechanism by signing a contract for a year.
It just wasn't cheap. Zenit fans know the Little General's love for St. Petersburg, but the Dutchman's love for money has become an even bigger talk of the town.
Dick Advocate Head coach of Sparta Rotterdam Zenit is still playing in the Russian championship. It would be unethical for me to comment on any rumors that I am a candidate for a new coach. Let's wait until the end of the season. Carlo Anchelotti
The least likely candidate who has surfaced in rumors only because he is currently free.
Of course, Zenit would be happy to get a specialist who has successfully worked and won trophies with Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern, but Ancelotti himself is not at all interested in the St. Petersburg club.
A month ago, he turned down an offer to lead the Italian national team, saying he wanted to work with the clubs. According to rumors, the Italian specialist may lead Chelsea or Arsenal.
Giovanni Brancini, an agent of coach Carlo Ancelotti, said at the end of April that the specialist had no negotiations with Russian clubs.
Miodrag Bozovic
A Montenegrin specialist is the most budgetary option. He manages to put a nice attacking game on the outsiders and middle peasants, who regularly begin to painfully pinch the clubs of the big five.
For example, Zenit recently became convinced of this, having barely carried away their legs in Tula from Arsenal, led by the enraged Artyom Dziuba.
As a result, Bozovic falls into the sphere of interests of more serious clubs, but it turns out to be much more difficult to prove himself there.
Miodrag has already had a not-so-successful experience at Lokomotiv on his account. And Zenit has already burned itself with Mircea Lucescu, who was taken as a “budget option”, and is unlikely to repeat this mistake.
Bozovic's benefit is that he has already worked with Luka Djordjevic, Artem Dziuba and Ivan Novoseltsev, leased from Zenit, and knows how to get results from them.
And it's not the first time for a Montenegrin to build teams from the customer's material.
Miodrag Bozovic Head coach of Arsenal Tula I heard something like that, but no one spoke to me. If they call from "Zenith" and say: "Miodrag, we are waiting for you" - I am ready to negotiate. Whom to choose?
Zenit's situation is like an old toast, wanting our desires to match our capabilities. The St. Petersburg club can easily get Mikhailovich or Bozovic as a coach, but does not want to. He wants to get Sarri or Ancelotti, but cannot.
Against this background, Sergei Semak looks like the most balanced and compromise figure. He managed to prove himself as a head coach in the Premier League, worked for Zenit, financial needs are much more modest than those of Sarri / Mancini / Mikhailovich, and even the loyalty of fans will be ensured even in case of failures.
There will be no problems with leaving “Ufa”, the Bashkir club has already found a candidate for a possible replacement - ex-mentor of “Akhmat” Mikhail Galaktionov.
Why not support a domestic manufacturer?
Dmitry ZELENOV
"Zenith" was the most principled and consistent supporter of the course for foreign coaches. In St. Petersburg, in fact, they set this trend by inviting a Czech in November 2002 Vlastimila Petrzelu.
Over the next 15 years, "Zenith" was led by the Dutchman Advocate, Portuguese Villas Boas, Romanian Lucescu, Italians Spalletti and Mancini... The approach did not change even in short periods Anatolia Davydova in 2009 and the same Semak in 2014. They were not going to cooperate with them for a long time. The first held the place while negotiating with Spalletti, the second served until the official signing Villas Boasha... “Zenith” and a status foreign coach - it seemed to be inseparable concepts.
And why should one abandon a foreign course if it somehow (in combination with other measures) produced a result? At Petrzhele Zenith moved up to second place, Advocate brought victories in the championship, the UEFA Cup and the European Super Cup, Spalletti turned Peter into the hegemon of Russian football, his team showed the most powerful football in the country.
It seemed that it was necessary to take another step to reach the long-awaited level of the leading teams in the Champions League.
But it so happened that with each subsequent Spalletti coach “Zenith” away from this goal. Villas Boas still managed to win the championship and get out of the Champions League group, Lucescu already finished third, well Mancini- fifth.
The system crashed. And it is obvious that in several directions, because the level and status of the specialist did not allow pulling Zenit back to the top. Neither the super-fashionable at that time succeeded Villas-Boasu nor the most experienced Lucescu nor modern Mancini.
Appointment Semak suggests that the second option was chosen in St. Petersburg. And it seems that the turnaround is confident and long-term.
Semak came to Zenit as an independent and mature coach, they signed a full-fledged contract, if not a space one (according to our data, one million euros a year plus bonuses). Finally, Semak won the competition. You can take whatever you like about the "casting of coaches" organized by "Zenith" (the names of the candidates were called almost in the reality show), but it is obvious that the management did not have a consensus at first. AND Semak, who in the process of negotiations told how he sees the future of the team, eventually convinced everyone.
It is clear that status and coaching achievements do not allow Semaku come to Zenit on their own terms. His contract has no armor, failure to complete the task (and Zenit always has one - first place) may raise the question of resignation. But term (2 + 1) Semaku allows you to look to the future with confidence. There are many interesting things ahead - both for him and for the club.
Had one of the most disastrous seasons in recent history. For the first time in ten years, the team was left without medals in the Russian football championship, where it finished only in fifth place. It was worse only in 2005, when the blue-white-blue remained sixth.
A year ago, the management of the club from the banks of the Neva spent millions on transfers and an invitation to the post of head coach of the eminent Italian. The bet didn't work. Mister could not prove himself in the Russian club and went to pull the national team of his country out of the swamp.
Tired of spending that does not live up to expectations, Zenit decided to invite a Russian specialist to the position of the team's mentor. The club was headed by Sergey. Except for the emergency measures in the form of a three-month arrival at the post in 2009, who then worked with a double, then
Zenit will have a Russian coach as a full-fledged mentor for the first time since 2002.
The agreement with 42-year-old Semak is designed for two years with the possibility of extension for one more. The young specialist noted that it is an honor and pleasure for him to work with a renowned club.
“Of course, it was a great honor for me to be even among the candidates for this position, and getting an invitation is very honorable and pleasant.
At the same time, I understand how difficult and difficult it will be, there is a lot of work ahead, immediately you need to start your duties and slowly put in order those issues that are now, "Semak said.
The previous year and a half, the specialist spent at Ufa, which became the first club where he worked as a head coach. Under his leadership, a team from the capital of Bashkiria for the first time in its history reached the Europa League, finishing sixth in the finished RFPL season. The team got a ticket to the Eurotournament after the winner of the Russian Cup "Tosno" could not get licensed in.
“Today I am very happy. I would like to thank Ufa for giving me the chance to get a specific experience.
Well, my family and I are happy to return to the city, which has become a home for us, "Semak said.
Semak's career is almost perfect.
He made his debut as a player very early and became one of the few athletes who managed to score a goal in the elite division of Russian football under 18.
After a season at Asmaral, Semak spent 11 years at CSKA, becoming a true red and blue club legend. Having scored the famous hat-trick against PSG in the Champions League match, the footballer received an invitation to the Parisian team, where he could not fully prove himself, as a rule, remaining in the reserve. Then there were two seasons in FC "Moscow", and three in each and "Zenith".
With teams from St. Petersburg and Kazan, as well as with the Moscow army team, Semak became the champion of Russia.
Currently, he is the only one to have won the Premier League with three different clubs.
Semak's performances for the Russian national team deserve special attention.
It was Sergey who was the captain of the team that won the bronze medals of the 2008 European Championship.
At that tournament, Semak performed a difficult goal pass through himself, after which he scored the only goal against the Greek national team, and the meeting ended with a victory for the team with a score of 1: 0.
On account of the athlete and one of the most important goals in the history of "Zenith". In 2012, in the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Portuguese Befnika, he brought his team forward with a heel kick. True, on aggregate, the blue-white-blue nevertheless lost (3: 2, 0: 2).
After completing his player career, Semak worked in the Zenit coaching staff in 2013-2016. Once he was even the acting head coach of the St. Petersburg team, under his leadership Zenit played two matches - lost to CSKA in the national championship (0: 1), and then defeated German Borussia in the return match of the Champions League 1/8 finals. from Dortmund (2: 1), which turned out to be insufficient for reaching the quarterfinals (the first match the Petersburgers lost with the score 2: 4).
Semak also has experience working with the Russian national team, in whose headquarters he was in 2014-2016. At first, the specialist was an assistant, and then - Leonid Slutsky.
Zenit will be the specialist's first serious challenge. The last two blue-white-blue coaches - Mancini and the Romanians - did not stay in office for more than a year. All that remains is to wait and see how the first Russian specialist in many years will do business in the “firing squad” position.
You can get acquainted with other materials, news and statistics on the page, as well as in the groups of the sports department in social networks
Sergei Semak has officially become the head coach of Zenit. The 2-week pause, which quite exhausted the St. Petersburg football fans, ended with an appointment, which the fans had time to discuss on the Internet inside and out.
Sergey Semak // Alexander Nikolaev / Interpress
The agreement between Semak and “Zenith” was concluded according to the 2 + 1 system - for two years with the possibility of extension for one more year.
Sergei Semak entered the Gazprom building on the Angliyskaya Naberezhnaya on Monday, May 14: Moscow commentator Georgy Cherdantsev posted a photo of Semak entering on Twitter (and there is reason to believe that this move was part of a complex PR combination to probe public opinion; with that the same goal in the Zenit public on the VKontakte social network was a poll: 45 thousand out of 70 voted for Semak, that is, 65%).
For more than two weeks, rumors persisted about a power struggle in the management of the football club, and the lack of news about the choice of a head coach looked natural against this background. The news alternately flashed the names of Dick Advocaat, Maurizio Sarri, recalled Rafael Benitez and even completely exotic football heroes like Jose Pekerman.
It can be assumed that in addition to the football component, public opinion also affected the choice of Semak, that poll in VK is another example of this. The season for “Zenith” turned out to be frankly unsuccessful, and there is a feeling that the appointment of Semak is in many ways a signal to the fans: we hear you, we ourselves are unhappy, we want it to be better.
Now to the football component. The pupil of the Lugansk Olympic reserve school moved to Moscow right after school, at the age of 16 (he graduated from school with a gold medal), ended up in the mythical club "Asmaral", from where he was drafted into the army and became a CSKA footballer.
For CSKA, Semak spent about 300 matches, scored 68 goals and, tired of the coaching tone of Valery Gazzaev, moved to Paris Saint-Germain: at that time a modest French club, not yet drowned by the generous investments of Arab sheikhs. In 2006, Sergei returned to the Russian league and became the main footballer for the young coach Leonid Slutsky at FC Moskva. Since 2008 - twice champion in "Rubin" Kurban Berdyev. Since 2010 he has been a Zenit footballer. Semak is the only footballer to become the champion of Russia in three different teams: CSKA, Rubin and Zenit. After completing his career due to injury, he entered the coaching staff of Luciano Spalletti, then worked as an assistant for Fabio Capello in the Russian national team, Andre Villas-Boas and Mircea Lucescu. In January 2017, he headed Ufa, with which this season he achieved a record 6th place for the club and got into the Europa League.
Semak has an amazing career: for 20 years on the field, he managed to work with the legendary Konstantin Beskov and Guy Lyakomb, Gazzaev and Slutsky, Berdyev and Spalletti. Sometimes they say: it doesn't matter who the footballer or the coach worked with, he simply does not fit the role of the boss. A year and a half Semak in “Ufa” showed that he definitely has the qualifications. “Ufa” played pragmatic, understandable football, with pressure and with an obvious focus on results. Moreover, I achieved this result. Ufa has very balanced statistics: 34 goals scored, conceded 30, 11 wins, 10 draws, 9 defeats. Bright football “Ufa” language will not turn to call it, but, unlike the same “Zenith”, Semak's team could be recognized.
We often hear: they say, Sergei Bogdanovich is too soft, too kind. This is an illusion: a kind and gentle footballer will not spend two decades on the field at the highest level, this is an axiom. And remember how Semak shoved the assistant referee Igor Fedotov in the game "Ufa" - "Zenith" in April this year. On TV it seemed that in a second, and the entire coaching staff, headed by Semak, would move from words to deeds and a fight would begin.
Naturally, Semak has an incredible scope of work. For some reason, the myths of Ancient Greece are recalled. In fact, Sergei needs to deal with two teams: one consists of Lucescu's players returning from leases, the second is the team of the current head coach of the Italian national team. What will be the support of the fans and, most importantly, the management, we cannot predict now. By the way, in general there is a hypothesis that the troubles of “Zenith” in recent years are not from the coach. But in any case, the phrase "Semak will be - I'll take a subscription" at the end of May, we heard often, and a very exciting season awaits us.
