Zinnbauer – on Zenit’s defeat: “Black day for the club”

Head coach of Lokomotiv Josef Zinnbauer spoke of Zenit’s crushing defeat (0: 5) in the 3rd round RPL.

The black day for our team started in the 64th minute. The team tried, there were big plans for the match. We got into the game well, especially in the first half. The first half was full of scoring chances for both teams. We had to enter the locker room with an advantage.

I saw how the boys felt better and better. But I will compliment my opponent. This is one of the best or best teams I have ever played with in Russia. The players are very strong individually.

We had many plans for the second half, but in the 48th minute we were unable to transform a scoring opportunity. We felt that Zenit were in the game, we tried to play on the counterattack.

The team fought hard and did not give up. We made substitutions, we wanted to refresh the game with two forwards. Unfortunately something happened to Nenakhov, he has an ankle injury.

“We would be willing to organize a friendly match, because football is a sport that unites and unites people. Unfortunately we did not have the chance to participate in the World Cup and we did not reach the final of the African Championship. Therefore we are open to this idea and would be happy about it.” <…>. I would be very happy to come to Russia and support our team,” Doneng said.

He added that CAR is not yet able to organize a match of this level in the Bangui stadium, as it is undergoing reconstruction. The minister also expressed extreme interest in Russian help in training local football personnel, both players and coaches.
