Dynamo Moscow goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anton-Shunin-c6283, believes that the Moscow-based club has had a terrific Russian Premier League campaign despite finishing 4th in the league table.
Shunin heaped praise on the Dinamiki, congratulating his side after securing UEFA Europa League qualification. However, he lamented their 1-0 defeat in the Russian Cup final against Rubin Kazan at Yekaterinburg stadium.
“We wanted to play in Europe and got it. We all like to play in the Champions League but I think we deserved fourth place in the standings.” Shunin was quoted as saying.
The prolific shot-stopper, who had joined the Russian outfit in 2004, has conceded that they would have secured a UEFA Champions League berth along with the Russian Cup had all the players remained fit.

hard next season.

the moment.
“I can say that the atmosphere within the team has been excellent throughout the season. There are no conflicts, quarrels, misunderstandings between the coach and the players.” The Russian goalkeeper concluded.
Media reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 suggest that the White-blues are set to sack Silkin following their failure to win the domestic cup in seventeen years. However, Shunin has revealed that they should not blame their manager for the failure,
insisting that they have a fantastic manager.
