http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683 has hailed Anzhi Makhachkala’s win in the second group stage game of the UEFA Europa League game against Young boys despite busy schedule
Fortune smiled at Anzhi Makhachkala as the struggling Russian outfit managed to notch their first win in the UEFA Europa League after edging out Young boys 2-0 at Lokomotiv stadium on Thursday.
The Makhachkala-based club played dominating football the entire 90 minutes of the European game against the Swiss Super League club after their pulsating 1-1 draw in the opening match of the European campaign against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Udinese-Calcio-c40789.
Although it was the Dagestani club’s first game in September, they played the European fixture after a tight schedule of games in October. The Wild-division remains unbeaten from last month until now despite participating in six
games including their Russian Cup tie against FC Ural.
The fact that Anzhi managed to reap good results from the past gives Yuri Zhirkov a reason to cheer, who believes that the Dagestani club are moving in the right direction and making good progress at the moment.
“Every win gives you inspiration for another and we here at Makhachkala strive to win. Anzhi have high class players who want to win every game. I think the second goal decided everything. But the second half we had in any case
better.”
“Playing is always easier than training. We are only too happy to record a couple of wins last month.” The former CSKA Moscow player was quoted as saying.
Zhirkov, who return to the Russian championship after leaving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC this summer, has insisted that the squad players are practicing hard in order to get in shape. He admitted that Anzhi still have a couple of decent games
to play against and highlighted the fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC.
The Russian stopper, who played competitive games against the English giants during his stay at Stamford Bridge, revealed that Anzhi will find it difficult to outcast the English Premier League club after lacking the needed experience
in the tournament.
However, Zhirkov told Anzhi to take one game at a time and urged them to win the next game against Dynamo Moscow.
