Marcel Lichka’s team has one big problem.
What can I say, “Orenburg” no longer surprises with its ugly game in defense. It seems that they retreated in large forces, but organized defense did not work. The team left a lot of free zones, the players did not insure each other, missed quick attacks.
Ahead, too, everything was pretty sad. No pressure, no counterattacks, a huge percentage of defects in passes. “Zenith” showed almost one hundred percent implementation and the highest performance skills. It can be seen that Sergei Semak seriously sets up his players for every match – especially now that such a powerful CSKA is on the heels. I am sure that in the future the people of St. Petersburg will try to decide the outcome of the meetings as soon as possible, as it was today. Zenit played very intensively and effectively. In essence, what we saw today is not a game, it is a master class, a demonstration performance.

Problems of “Orenburg” with the defense are especially pronounced on the road. Already, even “Torpedo” and “Ural” scored points away, but the team of Lichka just can’t. If it goes on like this, the Czech will certainly be fired – the credit of trust is not endless. Other specialists are dismissed for lesser failures. However, the situation at “Orenburg” is not the worst yet. They scored 9 points very successfully and acquired several good legionnaires. If you build up defenses and play connections, everything will be fine.

Former star of Real Madrid and the German national team Toni Kroos He determined the favorites of the World Cup and evaluated the chances of Brazil and Germany:
“World Cup? The main favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I’m not talking about Brazil, but it could happen. It’s good that a large number of teams are participating, but I am now against increasing the number of participants. We need to protect the players and the quality of the tournament. With more teams there will be obvious scores and these are not the kind of matches that fans want to see. Quality matches are important for me, not 5:0 or 6:0. Players come to the tournament tired and play more matches, the level drops a little.
Is Ancelotti in Brazil? He could have left a year ago, but he stayed at Real Madrid. I talked to him throughout the summer and wished him luck. He really wanted to coach Brazil, I hope everything goes well for him. Brazil has top-level players like Vini with valuable experience.
Neymar? The important thing is when it is 100%. He may experience a lack of rhythm in the game due to the injuries he has experienced in recent years. Now he’s injured again, he only has 6 months left. If he is fit he can help any team in the world.
Team Germany? I think Germany is always among the favorites, but not among the main ones. “I’m sure they will at least reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but the level is a little lower, although everything is possible in football,” he said.
