– Romantsev expected an equal game. Why didn’t it work out?
— It was a fighting game, especially before the first ball. Spartak had chances, Romantsev was right. But the third ball after the break removed a lot of questions. On the one hand, he reassured us, on the other hand, it was already difficult for the Spartacists to count on victory. The score does not reflect the balance of power a little. We played enough for the victory, but I need to look at the defeat and understand how well-deserved this result is.
– Are you satisfied with the way you held back the Spartak rhombus?
– Spartak is a qualified team with very qualified players. Everyone works well with the ball and it is clear that they create chances. It would be strange if they didn’t. The moments were after the actions of Zinkovsky or Promes due to individual actions.
– How do you like the concert, the performance of Rosenbaum and Bi-2?
It’s good that they were present. As for the reaction to Bi-2, it was quite expected. How important is it to invite one or the other? Personally, I listened with pleasure.
– Odoevsky will be the No. 1 goalkeeper?
– I already said, we give him advances, give him as much playing time as possible. And in the preseason, and now we give him confidence. How much he will take advantage of this chance – we’ll see, it all depends on him.
Great atmosphere. Good game, well deserved win. I congratulate the fans, the city and our team. Thanks to Spartak. The guys arrived, played, at the beginning of the match there was an equal game with mutual chances to score. At 2:0, Spartak had to attack, zones appeared, and it was more difficult, ”Semak said at a press conference.
Zenit won the Russian Super Cup for the seventh time (2008, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022) and caught up with CSKA in this indicator.
