Anzhi Makhachkala head coach, Guus Hiddink, has said that his team deserves all the plaudits after winning UEFA Europa League qualifying match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 at Stadion Saturn Ramenskoe.

leg next Thursday at Arnhem.

“We are pleased with the result. Before the break we controlled the game. The opponent showed a typical Dutch football, constantly creating numerical advantage in certain areas of the field.”
“During the break, we looked at each other's eyes, and things got better. We have a lot of young players, and it's a good lesson for them. I want them to grow faster and, in particular, observed that how well young Dutch players
followed their manager’s tactical plan,” The UEFA European Cup winner was quoted as saying.
