Former Zenit football player Alexei Igonin said that in the match of the 9th round of the WORLD RPL, Orenburg did not resist Zenit in any way, but it makes no sense to fire head coach Marcel Lichka against this background.
The meeting was held on Sunday in St. Petersburg and ended with the victory of the home team with a score of 8:0.

– By the quality of the players and the football shown, we can say that Orenburg is really weak. It happens that opponents of a lower class choose the right tactics: at the same time, they have enough discipline and have the opportunity to take points from the leader. Today, there was nothing like that from Orenburg – they did not resist Zenit in any way. Semak’s team came out with the mood – from the first minutes they played with high pressure.
Is it possible that the head coach of Orenburg Lichka will be fired? They can send it, but what’s next? Emotional decisions do not need to be made,” Igonin told the “Championship”.
After this match, Zenit became the sole leader of the RPL table, gaining 23 points.
