Jan Derks: «Coaches of a very high level work in Zenit Academy»

Coach of the Netherlands Royal Football Verband after the end of the workshop in the Academy of the Blue-White-LightBlues gave his high approval to the knowledge level of specialists from St.Petersburg.

— During all nine days of the Workshop the coaches of Academy were at our course, but they could have this time with their families. But this is our work. Sometimes we forget that there are a lot of other important things in our lives, besides football. I liked that for these nine days only football existed for us. I appreciated the fact that during the whole course they were fully concentrated on the sessions, were very attentive and ready to learn. So we also did our best. I also liked that the level and knowledge of Zenit Academy coaches are very high. Every day we had very good dialogs and live discussions. That was what we gathered here for. I will go home with a warm feeling that Zenit Academy gathered very professional coaches and managers. Level of coaches here is very high, this is true. I heard from Dick Advocaat that you have a very good Academy with real professionals. Now I know it for sure. I enjoy the realization of that.
