The Besiktas midfielder has questioned d**k Advocaat’s approach to drop Spartak Moscow striker from the Russian national team and has commented on Kirill Nababkin
Russian national team manager, d**k Advocaat, has announced the final 23-man squad ahead of the European tournament, Euro 2012.
The 64-year-old Dutch tactician, who will resign as Russia boss in order to take managerial charge at PSV- Eindhoven in July, has dropped Sparta Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diniyar-Bilyaletdinov-c11318, Lokomotiv Moscow’s Magomed Ozdoyev
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vasili-Berezutski-c35922 respectively.
Advocaat has announced the final squad after Russia held http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 1-1 at Lokomotiv stadium on Friday. The former Zenit St. Petersburg head coach had to drop Shishkin and Berezutski after the defensive duo failed to recover from
respective injuries.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694 in the final roaster in place of Dzyuba.
The fact that Advocaat has dropped Dzyuba, who has scored 11 goals from 41 Russian Premier League appearances, displeases Khlestov, who has urged the 23-year-old Russian striker not to lose hope.
Though Advocaat has tried to clean the air after specifying the reasons behind dropping the Red-white striker, it seems like Khlestov is not convinced by the final roaster ahead of the continental tournament.
“I think, Dzyuba deserved to go to Poland. However, he has failed to prove his worth. I think he has not impressed the head coach during the qualifying rounds. Artem has earned a decent reputation as a fierce striker in Russia.
His performances during the third league round are noticeable.”
“However, he has missed a decent chance to earn his place in the national team. Dzyuba has failed to convince the manager, who decided to carry on with the players with whom he had worked before.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted
as saying.
Khlestov went on to reveal that he already knew that Shishkin will not make it to the final squad because he did not impress this season. However, the 41-year-old has expressed his delight to see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kirill-Nababkin-c21144 in the squad, insisting
that the Koni defender is reliable and fast.
