Sergei Lavrentyev: “We couldn’t cope with the opponents shots into the penalty area”

— The fans saw good, interesting, spectacular football. We failed to cope with the opponent's deliveries into the penalty area, although we worked on it and paid attention to it.

I am glad that we scored two goals, because we were always told that we did not score against Zenit. Today we scored. This will give us confidence in the matches with this opponent. But, unfortunately, we did not win.

We always try to play wisely, based on our strengths, based on the strengths of the opponent. I repeat - we failed to cope with deliveries into the penalty area, where the opponent completely outplayed us.
