The Italian tactician has insisted that Zenit St. Petersburg were unfortunate to suffer a shocking defeat against Terek Grozny despite playing well enough at home
Zenit St. Petersburg head coach, Luciano Spalletti, has revealed the reason behind their latest Russian Premier League defeat against Terek Grozny at Petrovsky stadium on Friday, admitting that his team was unable to maintain the
balance between attack and defence.
After a quiet first half in which both the Russian outfit failed to take the advantage, the visitors break the deadlock on 85th minute prior to their injury time goal against the St. Petersburg club.
Luciano Spalletti, who tried to switch the emphasis of the game after introducing Hulk and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 during the second-half of the match, failed to reap advantage.
The Meshki signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 for a reported 100 million Euros.
However, Spalletti has expressed his satisfaction over the team’s overall performance, saying that he is pleased with the way his team has played after returning from the International duty.

The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 tactician backed Hulk and Witsel to shine in the upcoming matches, telling their critics that it is too early to make conclusions about their summer buys.
“Although they trained with us for just one day, they are proving out to be more professional. My players were tired after playing for their national teams. If I had more time to choose the composition, I would have done the same
thing. They are two good players and I think they both can make a great contribution to the team in the near future.”
“We knew that the match will be difficult to obtain but we have failed to find the right balance between defence and attack. Otherwise, we controlled the game.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Spalletti urged his side to improve defensively, saying that the Chechens took advantage of their mistakes at the back.
