“I would like to congratulate my colleague Sergei Semak on the victory.

Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get into the game well, which resulted in a conceded ball.

We tried to play high, boldly, aggressively to qualify, but we lacked accurate passes and composure.

And in the second half, we took the threads of the game into our own hands, scored the return goal, played boldly, and pressed high.

We had good moments that we did not take advantage of.

And Zenit took advantage of theirs and scored twice in three minutes, after which the game was done, "Sport-Express quotes Schwartz.

At the same time, he believes that his team played more aggressively against Zenit than last year.

In addition, the specialist assumes that the result could have been influenced by the away cup match against Orenburg, which took place just three days ago.

“According to statistics, we delivered 15 strikes, and Zenit - 14. The only thing we need is a more accurate and cool-headed approach to the implementation of the chances.

But you need to believe in your football and go your own way.

I told my team about this in the dressing room, ”added Schwartz.

Zenit in St. Petersburg defeated Dynamo with a score of 4: 1.

Thus, Semak's wards scored 29 points and strengthened their leadership in the Russian championship.

Dynamo is in second place with 23 points.

Earlier, Semak admitted that he had fears before the match with Dynamo after the victory over Spartak (7: 1).
