Zenit Saint Petersburg regained the taste of victory in a friendly match by winning 3-1 against Red Star Belgrade. At the end of the meeting, coach Sergei Semak returned to the press on this first summer outing and delivered the main lessons.
“The most important thing is that no one got hurt,” said Semak, quoted by the “Championat” correspondent. The absence of physical glitches was the priority for the technical staff during this preparation phase, where the sequence of sessions often takes precedence over the result. The coach insisted on the volume of work carried out during training: “We work a lot, we do not prepare specifically for this or that match. »
In terms of play, Semak judged the meeting generally positive: many individual battles, movement and interesting actions from his players. However, he qualified his assessment by recalling that there were still errors to be corrected: “There were good actions, and also errors on which we will have to work. »

The technician also wanted to thank the public: the crowd and the atmosphere left an impression on the staff and players. “Thank you to the fans for coming out to support the team. It’s incredible to play in such an atmosphere,” he added, appreciating the excitement around the club during this period of preparation.
This match is part of a busy pre-season schedule for Zenith. The club is due to play another friendly, against Dinamo Makhachkala, on July 13 at the Smena Stadium in Saint Petersburg (kick-off at 5:00 p.m. Moscow time). More importantly, the Blues and Whites will be on the pitch on July 18 for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup against Spartak, a match scheduled at the Sovcombank Arena in Nizhny Novgorod (7:30 p.m. MSK).
Preparation takes on a very special dimension for Zenith, crowned champion of the Russian Championship last season with 68 points. The Semak team will seek to preserve its executives physically while refining its automatisms before attacking the official season and the revenge in the Super Cup against a national rival.
In the end, this 3-1 friendly victory offers confidence without masking the work that remains to be accomplished: physical condition, correction of errors and display of a stable collective level before the start of the official deadlines.
