Aleksandr Tochilin expecting big fight between Dynamo Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg
Former Dynamo Moscow defender Aleksandr Tochilin is expecting a tremendous encounter when Dynamo Moscow take on Zenit St. Petersburg at Petrovsky stadium.
Dynamo managed to claim a 1-1 draw, when these two sides met earlier this season. The Russian national is of the opinion that the Musora might boost their league title chances by defeating the Meshki in the upcoming tie.
Dinamiki trail the second-placed CSKA Moscow by a point and the league leaders by three points, and Tochilin has urged the Dinamiki to fight hard against the Meshki. He reiterated his desire to see the Moscow-based club atop the league table.
Tochilin insisted that the upcoming clash holds immense importance because the title race is still open and a win could give them a mental edge over Zenit for the remaining matches of the season.
“And the winner will definitely get a handsome advantage over the other in psychological terms.” Tochilin was quoted as saying.
Leading Zenit goal scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andriy-Voronin-c6020, is also likely to miss the mouthwatering encounter after
picking up Pneumonia earlier this week.
Tochilin commented on the absence of Voronin:
“Voronin is now a key player, Dynamo depend on the team captain a lot and from a psychological standpoint, they need him. This will be a big loss for Dynamo, but there are guys who can replace him on at least one game. I think the Silkin will be working
on it.”
Speaking on the absence of Kerzhakov, the Russian Cup winner revealed that Zenit have enough attacking options in the squad and highlighted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danko-Lazovic-c10188 as potential replacements.
The former Asmaral Moscow player revealed that Dinamiki are playing quality football at the moment and highlighted the reason behind the success. Tochilin revealed that the White-Blues made good signings in the latest transfer window and praised the head
coach, Sergei Silkin.
