Leonid Nazarenko admitted that the Dagestani club can claim a UEFA Champions League spot this season by winning the remaining Russian Premier League matches.
As the race for the UEFA Champions League spot heats up, Anzhi Makhachkala still have a chance to claim the second-spot in the Russian Premier League. As things stand, the Dagestani club are at the fifth spot, three points adrift
of the second-spot.
With two league games left to play, Anzhi are still in contention, along with Dynamo Moscow, CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow, to claim a European berth this season.
The Former Dynamo Bryansk manager, Leonid Nazarenko, has urged the Wild-division to win the upcoming league tie against Kuban Krasnodar at Kuban stadium if they are to play in Europe next season.
The last time these two teams played against each other in a league competition, Anzhi managed to win the respective encounter 2-0 at home. Second half goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Odil-Ahmedov-c28307 saw the ambitious Russian outfit
claim all three points against the Cossacks.
Nazarenko has opined that the ambitious Russian outfit is playing quality football at the moment, under the newly appointed head coach, Guus Hiddink. He credited the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager behind their decent domestic run, revealing
that Hiddink is the right man for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
“In my opinion, the game will be very interesting. Both the teams like to score and I am expecting two three or four goals between them. Anzhi have become a stronger club ever since they have made expensive signings in recent years.
However, they need to be careful against Kuban’s fast counterattacks. I think that Anzhi will win 3-1 against Kuban.
“Hiddink can help the Dagestani club earn a Champions League place.” The former Russian striker was quoted as saying.
The former Dynamo Makhachkala head coach went on to admit that Kuban are a great side with a lot of experienced players.
