Genich criticized “Zenit” for the lack of movement

Commentator Konstantin Genich on the air of Match Premier spoke about the game of Zenit in the current season of the RPL. In his opinion, the team has become predictable and has lost the unexpected inclusions from the depths that were before. After nine rounds, St. Petersburg scored 18 points and take fifth place.

Genić noted that before Zenit was dangerous due to sharp connections from deep - players such as Claudinho and Wendel. Now this is not the case: the team often reaches the penalty area and stops, counting only on individual skill.

“Football without movement is dead,” the commentator said. He also added that one Glushenkov for such a game is not enough, and cited the example of a match with CSKA, where Zenit acted at speed.

According to Genich, in many meetings, St. Petersburgers simply approach someone else’s penalty box, get up and wait for someone to beat an opponent or earn a standard. Such football, he believes, is predictable and does not bring results.
