Forward “Zenith” Alexander Kerzhakov replaced by residence club at the end of the season, inform the foreign media. Russian national team striker has lost the confidence of the head coach of Petrograd Andre Villas-Boas, with the result that he appealed to the leadership to let him coming summer.
In this decision the 32-year-old player could induce several reasons. This week Kerzhakov missed in the application for an exit meeting against “PSV” within 1/16 Europa League. Alexander explained by the fact that so decided to Villas-Boas, who later commented on this situation.
“It is not always easy to make a choice when you have a lot of good players and everyone is working hard. But not always, each player can enter into the composition. It happened with Kerzhakov. He works hard. I’m sure if it will work the same way, it can return a part. I talked to his agent about what can and can not do in the “Zenith “- said Villas-Boas edition of” Sport-Express “.
By the way, the conflict between Villas-Boas and Kerzhakov took place in early December, when the Portuguese left out of the application specialist Alexander’s Champions League match away from home against “Monaco”. Moreover, Villas-Boas would not let Kerzhakov fly with the team on the plane, later explained by the fact that only declared the game players can be in the airliner.
“Three stories about the” missed “. The first story – “do not hit the bid for the match against Monaco,” the head coach said that I missed a lot of time and how much I practiced, the result will not let me get to the application for the match. There “but”, but perhaps do without them …
The history of the second – “did not get on the plane St. Petersburg-Nice”: he wanted to fly with the team and watch the game, but by the decision of the head coach in the airplane may be the only players who take part in the match, the rest can get its own power, “- wrote then Kerzhakov on the home page of one of the social networks.

A few weeks ago in various media have an interest to Alexander from Moscow “Locomotive”. Capital team was ready to take the player into rent until the end of the season, but he Kerzhakov said that he was not going anywhere away from the “Zenith”.
It is interesting that when Villas-Boas led only Petrograd, Kerzhakov in an interview praised the Portuguese, simultaneously accusing the former head coach of the “blue-white-blue” Luciano Spalletti duplicity. Then Alexander for the most part fell into the starting lineup, but this season he increasingly began to put on the bench. As a result – just 10 matches in this season’s championship of Russia and all three goals.
At the same time Kerzhakov in the first part of the season and were joyful moments. However, they are primarily associated with the team. In September, Alexander marked duplicate in a friendly match against Azerbaijan (4: 0) and became the top scorer in the history of Russian national team with 28 goals. In the last match of last year’s team Fabio Capello Kerzhakov scored again, hitting the gate of Hungary (2: 1).

Since then he has won four trophies, including two championship country, winning the Cup and Super Cup of Russia.
