The Russian striker expresses his delight after winning the latest Russian Premier League tie against Dynamo Moscow and praised Luciano Spalletti.
In the latest round of Russian Premier League action, Zenit St. Petersburg thumped Dynamo Moscow 5-1 at Arena Khimki. Domenico Criscito, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kerzhakov-c4569 compiled a brace
in Moscow.
Zenit managed to win their first competitive game this month after claiming back-to-back draws against CSKA Moscow and Kuban Krasnodar respectively in the opening two games of the third league round.
The St. Petersburg, meanwhile, suffered a 2-0 UEFA Champions League defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 during the return leg of the round-of-16 in Portugal. Consequently, Benfica advanced to the quarter-finals of the continental tournament
at Zenit’s expense.
In the aftermath of the latest league win against the Moscow-based club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771 has hailed his side against the third-placed Russian outfit despite their poor start to the third league round.
“We have displayed quality football by combining up nicely with each other. We have taken our chances well. We have given the travelling fans something really special. Everything was good except for the field. It was difficult
for both the teams.
“Dynamo started the game badly, made a few mistakes, consequently we punished them. But they started playing much stronger in attack during the second half. Zenit were undoubtedly stronger but I am sure that the cup match between
the two teams will be quite different.” The UEFA Cup winner was quoted as saying.
With the latest win, Zenit have now extended their lead atop the league table. As things stand, they are 9 points ahead of the second-placed CSKA Moscow. The Meshki will now play the Russian Cup quarter-final against the Dinamiki
on March 21, 2012 at Petrovsky stadium.
Arshavin, who returned to the Russian dugout from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 FC on a season-long loan spell, revealed that the Musora will look for revenge during the Cup match after suffering the humiliating league defeat.
The Russian Premier League Cup winner warned his side against complacency and assured the fans of playing decent football at home.
