According to him, foreigners in the blue-white-blue team come to the fore with more creative football thinking.
“Zenith has a very good Brazilian team, they understand each other very well. They know who is where and when. And what will they do with the ball from now on? They have a great command of football, they read the game – Semak is great at that, he taught them. But they themselves are outstanding performances. It’s nice to look at them, they have an unusual idea, that’s the most important thing.
How do our players behave otherwise: I say what I see. This is not good! Whoever I see, I give the transfer. You can somehow cover up your actions, make a deceptive move, but no. Like programmed tin soldiers. So it doesn’t fit.
And Zenit plays creatively, I watch their matches with pleasure, ”says Ponomarev socialbites.ca.
