«Zenit» in the Premier League lost big “Terek” – 1: 4. Why St. Petersburg club great acts in the Champions League and in the championship – worse?

Grozny “Terek” in a match of the 17th round of the Premier League with a score of 4: 1, defeated the incumbent champion of Russia – St. Petersburg “Zenith”. This defeat prevented Petrograd at least for the tour ahead of “Locomotive” and climb to third place in the standings. In the championship, “Zenith” is still lagging behind CSKA by seven points. And the “Army men” have a chance to increase the gap between Petrograd, beating “Anji”. In the Champions League the case at the “Zenith” The situation is much better: Villas-Boas team recently won a fifth consecutive victory in the group stage of the tournament, beating on the “Petrovsky” “Valencia” with a score of 2: 0. The result allowed the “Zenith” early to issue a ticket to the Champions League play-off first place. Why Petrograders a successful performance in the Champions League than the championship? For some reason, the “Zenith” in the Russian championship and the Champions League – two different teams? Opinion in the traditional rubric “Question of the day” are divided experts and readers.

Lepekhin Constantine, a former defender of “Zenith»:

 - It is time to ask the question Villas-Boas, why do we see such a different “Zenith” in the championship and the Champions League. The first thing that comes to mind is inadequate assessment of our rival in the championship. In no other way to explain why football players for a week out for one match, where full control of the game and surely win and another game without a limp and inferior options.

Michael Schatz, a well-known TV presenter and supporter of “Zenith»:

 - On the one hand, I do not know why the “Zenith” in the championship speaks worse than in the Champions League. Absolutely I do not understand. On the other – I can not understand why the “Zenith” so great favor in the Champions League.

Andrew Sozin, a member of the ethics committee of the RFU, football expert:

 - Villas-Boas no longer wants to work in Russia. The Portuguese said about this for a long time, but he’s a professional, and work out a contract until the end. Last season “Zenith” has won the championship, so experts do not have to prove on the domestic scene. At the moment, his main goal – a good performance in Europe. Victories in the Champions League in the future will be the hallmark of Villas-Boas.

Igor Korneev, former sports director of “Zenith»:

 - Today, the main reason for the defeat of “Zenith” became “Terek”: put pressure, not give to play Petrograd. Guests were not ready for such a development, as in this game. I do not think that the “Zenith” in the Champions League, and “Zenith” in the domestic championship – two different teams. Just a lot depends on the readiness of the team for a specific opponent. In the Champions League can not be a lack of information about your opponents, all teams scrutinize clubs, with whom they will meet. Accordingly, the fact that the “Zenith” underestimate the Europeans – not true. Therefore, this point can not be the reason for the success of the club in the Champions League.

Yuri stomach, champion of the USSR in 1984 in the “Zenith»:

 - It can not always play football. The whole team in a match with “Terek” went on foot, although the players were well prepared for the match. I do not know why the “Zenith” in the UEFA Champions performs better than in the Russian championship. Probably there are more bonuses.

Vyacheslav Bulavin, the former defender of “Zenith»:

 - The Champions League contenders “Zenith” configured for offensive action. I do not see any game where the team would operate on defense. A “Zenith” nicer to play the football, in which there is a lot of free zones. In Russia, this is not. It is difficult to break into a massive defense. In addition, the “Zenith” is the understanding that in the Champions League slowly you can not play.

Byshovets, honored coach of the USSR, the former head coach of the “Zenith»:
>
 - The causes of unsuccessful performance of “Zenith” in the championship to be found in how the coach was able to correct accents in the preparation of the team. This applies to the distribution of the load associated with the rotation of staff, use of internal reserves. It seems to me, after a very good match with “Valencia” we saw diametrically opposed to the game of “Zenith” in the movement, the quality of the game.

Our view

Michael hoes, columnist ‘Championship »:

 - Andre Villas-Boas is clearly no more motivation in the championship – there he is looking for excuses defeats, not a way to win. His attitude is passed and the team. All forces – physical and mental – are thrown on the Champions League. The team needs a serious jolt to realize that not defend the title – one, and remain outside the three – different. The successes in the Champions League does not compensate for the miss in it for the next year – either financial or reputational.

 - There would be a “bench”, it would be possible for the championship to think, and with the shortest margin in league play on several fronts – kill.

vakhitovsky-fcrk:

 - “Zenith” can not play successfully on two fronts, that’s understandable. In addition, leaving Grozny, perhaps the most complex leave in the Premier League. The result is natural.

Majjkl:

 - The team is limping just emotionally. Transitions emotions Champions League and the Czech Republic, it’s just a temporary period. League of sucks. But “Spartacus”, “Loco” do not understand. Plus the situation with Boas crippled. It’s temporary. All will lose more points, and “Zenith” will overcome the crisis and pick up.

leninjiv010:

 - It’s very simple: our championship in Europe are not looking, and the Champions League – yes. Players want to sell themselves dearly and fell into the normal championship.
