Aleksandr Bubnov has backed the Russian Premier League club to leap frog CSKA Moscow this season and has nullified Anzhi Makhachkala’s chances of winning the league title
Famous football pundit, Aleksandr Bubnov, is of the view that Zenit St. Petersburg are lacking enough firepower up front without the shadow of the doubt.
The 57-year-old, who earned enough faming during his time at Dynamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow respectively, has urged the defending Russian Premier League champions to sign a new striker come this summer.
The Russian International made these comments after Luciano Spalletti’s men managed to win their latest league tie against Lokomotiv Moscow at Lokomotiv stadium by the skin of their teeth.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Viktor-Fayzulin-c36130 was the only goal-scorer of the match, scoring his fifth league goal of the campaign, having already scored a winner against FC Krasnodar in mid-October.
Bubnov revealed that Spalletti needs to sign a proven goal-scorer during the upcoming summer transfer window, having failed to get goals despite signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 last year.
The Russian outfit reportedly signed the players for 60 million Euros from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 respectively.
If speculations are to be believed, Spalletti is considering re-signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771 from Arsenal FC after Arsene Wenger publically indicated a desire to let go the Russian International striker.
“The match was interesting for Lokomotiv’s point of view because Zenit failed to score more than one goal. They still lack precision gears in the central zone.”
“Spalletti had to rotate some structure, but it had no effect on the interaction between the players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Konstantin-Zyryanov-c21312 and Victor Fayzulin played many times with each other and some other partners in the midfield. But it looked
like they need another goal scorer.”
“I think they need to find a new striker. If they are, of course, want to address the serious problems.” The Soviet Top League winner was quoted as saying.
Speaking on Anzhi Makhachkala’s chances to win the league this season, Bubnov revealed that Guus Hiddink’s side is still in the reshaping process after signing too many players during the last two transfer windows.
