Maxim Zinoviev: "The team has achieved the maximum of what it is ready for now"

— This is probably one of our weakest matches in the second half of the season. A lot can be said and a lot of reasons can be found, but first of all you always have to start from yourself.

There were enough moments to recoup and win even with so many goals conceded. But they had to be implemented. Maybe the team has already "gone on vacation" somewhere, which does not make it beautiful. We are not looking for excuses here and I would like to apologize to the fans for this. There should be no such failures next season.

As for the results, at the beginning of the season we were generally told that we would finish in 11th-12th place. However, with all the problems that were at the start, we finish the season at the top of the table.

Yes, of course, this defeat from Ryazan-Airborne Forces in terms of both the result and the content of the game slightly spoiled this overall picture, but the main thing is that many football players have made a big qualitative step forward this year. And this applies not only to young, but also quite experienced players. Of course, as a team we have grown and become better, especially in the second half of the season.

Therefore, speaking in general, the team has achieved the maximum of what it is ready for at the moment. Of course, I would like to be higher, but there are problems that have not allowed this to be done at this stage. Nevertheless, not having a profile central striker throughout the season, we still achieved results and showed a meaningful game.
