Poryadina Reflects on Zenits Triumph in the Russian Super Cup Against Lokomotiv

The head coach of the Zenit women’s team, **[Olga Poryadina](https://www.example.com)**, shared her thoughts on her team’s victory in the Russian Super Cup against Lokomotiv, which ended with a score of 3-0.

«We all understood the significance of this match for the trophy. In the first half, we played a bit too cautiously, losing possession and making poor decisions. During the break, we adjusted the players’ approach, encouraging them to play more straightforwardly, to avoid complicating things and losing control in straightforward situations. I can’t say that the red card was a decisive factor. I didn’t notice that Lokomotiv was at a disadvantage; they still maintained possession and created opportunities. A red card can motivate one team while relaxing the other. I was concerned that we might become overly complacent, which could lead to a different outcome,» Poryadina’s comments were quoted by the official website of the Russian Football Union.
