Russian football's primary predicament addressed by Coach Cemin
Renowned coach Yuri Semin has voiced concerns about the current state of Russian football, particularly focusing on the academies and their training processes. In light of a ban that prevents Russian teams from participating in competitions organized by FIFA and UEFA, including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, Semin emphasizes the need to address these issues.
Semin believes that the lack of European cups affects the development of players in Russian football, reducing the amount of competitive process and intense matches for players. He also notes that the ban could potentially impact the development and exposure of Russian football players and teams.
The ban, imposed due to unspecified reasons, could also affect the financial situation of Russian football clubs, as they would lose the opportunity to generate revenue from participating in international competitions. It is unknown whether the ban will be temporary or permanent, and whether it will be lifted in the future.
Semin's comments come at a time when Russian football is facing criticism from experts like himself, who have highlighted issues in academies and the need for improvements in the training process. However, it is unclear whether Semin has any specific proposals for improving the situation.
Semin also points out the challenges in team adaptation and tactical problems. He notes that teams like Zenit are not yet complete at the beginning of the season because new players need time to adapt, find their form, and adjust to the complexities of Russian football. Additionally, Semin points out defensive tactical problems in teams like Rostov, where playing a high defensive line creates many opportunities for opponents, leading to difficulties for the team.
Despite these challenges, Semin suggests that many talented players in Russia often do not reach their full potential. He believes that serious attention should be paid to the situation with coaches, training programs in academies, and the training process itself.
The ban may further exacerbate the issues in Russian football, as it could limit the opportunities for Russian players and teams to compete at the highest level. Semin's remarks were quoted by Sport24, adding to the growing discussion about the future of Russian football. The Russian football authorities have yet to announce their plans to address the ban and its potential consequences.

"Semin is advocating for a reevaluation of the training processes in Russian football academies, as he believes they greatly impact the development of players and their readiness for competitive matches, especially considering the current ban on Russian teams participating in UEFA and FIFA competitions like the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League."
"Furthermore, Semin is concerned about the future of Russian football, raising the point that the ban could hinder the exposure and development of talented players and teams in the country, and he suggests that emphasis needs to be placed on improving coaching, academy training programs, and the overall training process to ensure that athletes reach their full potential."
