http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Bukharov-c4555 has hailed Zenit St. Petersburg’s midfielder and has urged him to play a big part for the Russian national team in Euro 2012
The fact that Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694, is involved in the Russian national team’s provisional 26-man squad pleases Aleksandr Bubnov, who has backed the prolific midfielder to shine in the upcoming European event, Euro 2012.
Denisov, who started his professional playing career at Petrovsky stadium in 2001, has been an integral part of the St. Petersburg club that won UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Russian Cup and three Russian Premier League titles in last five years.
The prolific midfielder has made 40 league appearances for Zenit this season and has scored one goal. Denisov is expected to start the friendly match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 at Lokomotiv stadium on Friday.
Bukharov has praised the 28-year-old midfielder, and has rated him amongst the top midfielders in the world. He admitted that Denisov is in inspirational nick of form and can be compared with Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 at the moment.
There is little arguing that both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 and Busquets have proven themselves at club level and internationally. Their exception skills and ball control are the major reason why they dominate the midfield region.
“I think Denisov is arguably the best midfielder in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 at the moment. He has demonstrated a stable and relatively high class in all the tournaments. I think this was his best season. He has impressed while playing as an attacking midfielder behind a lone striker and therefore he can score goals. He can provide loads of assists too. He is very important player for the national team.”
“We can compare him with Busquets and Alonso. Alonso prefers the long passes, while Busquets and Denisov often use medium and short passes.” The former Dynamo Moscow player was quoted as saying.
The Soviet Top League winner went on to reveal that Denisov has impressed in the decisive matches domestically. He added that unlike the vast majority of defensive midfielders in the Premier League, Denisov is getting better and better with his age.
