I have had great coaches throughout my career that I have worked with. Semak is a smart specialist, attentive to details. The coach perfectly understands us, the players, and this helps him a lot in his work. I can confidently call him the best coach in Russia and, perhaps, the best in my career. Because he coaches a team that has been showing a high class for many years. And the coach’s merit in this is huge, – said Rodrigao Metaratings.ru.
