Domenico Criscito has warned Zenit St. Petersburg’s defenders against the threat of Robinho, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bojan-Krkic-c7794 ahead of the UEFA Champions League tie
Zenit St. Petersburg defender, Domenico Criscito, has expressed his desire to play the upcoming UEFA Champions League group stage match against AC Milan at Petrovsky stadium, saying that he is ready to play the match despite injury.
The Italian stopper, who has a wealth of European experience after actively participating in the competition during his stay at Genoa CFC prior to his move to the St. Petersburg club, is expected to return to the starting line-up.
Criscito sustained a cheek bone injury while playing in their latest Russian Premier League tie against Lokomotiv Moscow. The 25-year-old played the entire match despite picking up the injury during the second-half of the match
and was unlikely to take part in the European meeting.
“I actually went to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 and ordered a mask for myself because I broke my cheekbone in the league tie against Lokomotiv. Tomorrow I'll be ready for the game. However, the head coach will decides to use me or not. If yes than I
am ready to play in a mask.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Criscito went on to warn his teammates against the Milan-based-club’s strikers, saying that they will find it extremely difficult to stop Robinho, Bojan Krkic and Alexandre Pato to score a goal.
All of the aforementioned players are enjoying top form at the moment after playing more regularly ever since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gennaro-Gattuso-c14525.
“They have talented young players but we should not forget about Bojan and Robinho. All of them are high-class players which can decide the fate of the match. We need to play with the utmost devotion because they can punish us.”
He concluded.
Criscito insisted that the Rossoneri have significantly improved their game despite the mass exodus carried out in the summer. He urged his side to take advantage of rebuilt Italian outfit, saying that they can claim a win if they
will play with confidence at home.
