“The situation is not easy.” Semak spoke about Alberto’s desire to move to another club

The head coach of the St. Petersburg “Zenith” Sergei Semak said that the Brazilian striker Yuri Alberto is interested in moving to another club on loan.

On Saturday, Zenit defeated Sochi in a penalty shootout at the PARI Premier Cup. Earlier in the media it was reported that the Brazilian Corinthians are close to renting a 21-year-old Brazilian.

“Yuri Alberto has a desire to go on loan for a certain time,” Semak told reporters. – The club takes care of those who come. The situation is not easy, we decide that we can do the best in this situation. The application period is long, we should consider the options to the maximum.

– Will you have a choice and who will decide?

– The opinion of the coach is always taken into account, the final decision will be with the club. We try to choose the options that are most suitable for us, taking into account their advantages. We will try to make the best choice from what will be.

– Why didn’t they release Byazrov this time for a penalty shoot-out, but left Kerzhakov?

– So that everyone gets the laurels equally.

– Do you agree with Match TV, which recognized Bakaev as the best player of the match?

– He played the last match quite actively. And today he broke into the zones, scored a wonderful goal. So I think yes. Malcolm and Bakaev had a good match, but in case of equality, the one who scored wins.

– Will Douglas Santos be the captain during the season as well?

He was one of the vice-captains. We’ll all get together before the season and decide. Dejan Lovren has just returned, and Misha Kerzhakov are the leaders who lead the team on and off the field.
