The Belgian winger believes that the 28-year-old’s return will help him playing in a more advance role and has commented on his side’s 2-1 win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 at home
Zenit St. Petersburg have retained the leading-spot on the Russian Premier League table, at least for now, after winning the latest league tie against FC Rostov at Petrovsky stadium on Friday.
However, they could possible lose their standing at the top if Anzhi Makhachkala manage to win their next league tie against Terek Grozny at Dynamo stadium (Makhachkala) on Sunday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 has hailed his side’s emphatic win over the Selmashi, saying that they showed a lot of confidence and composure on the pitch to claim all three points after scoring a late winner.
The 23-year-old winger, who joined the St. Petersburg club from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 during the summer transfer window for a reported 40 million Euros, has been playing in Igor Denisov’s position after the latter was denied a chance to play
with the first-team following misconduct.
Denisov made a substitute appearance during their latest match after apologizing with the defending league champion’s management following his unprofessional behaviour regarding a salary issue.
And now that the 28-year-old has returned to action, Witsel believes that it’s a blessing in disguise for him.
“Denisov is a very important player for the team in general but his return will do a favour to me personally. Now I can work closer to the attack. I like to play close to the front line. I really liked my attacking role against
Rostov. It won’t do any harm.”
“We had many chances to score but we did not realize. We could have won 4:1 or 5:1. But we should not talk about it now as we managed to pull the plug late in a difficult game.” The Belgian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
The St. Petersburg club will lock horns with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 in the UEFA Champions League’s group stage game at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Wednesday. Witsel urged his teammates to work harder for a tough European
encounter after losing points against Malaga and AC Milan previously.
