Dan Petrescu urges Kuban Krasnodar to focus on Zenit St. Petersburg clash after FC Krasnodar win
Kuban Krasnodar manager, Dan Petrescu, has spoken of his delight after winning the much anticipated Russian Premier League clash 2-0 against their arch rivals, FC Krasnodar, at home. He urged his side to move on after the win and
practice for their upcoming league tie against Zenit St. Petersburg.
The Lifters star striker, Lacina Traore, struck twice to seal the vital three points for his club against the Byki as the Ivorian striker recorded a magnificent performance and played quality football the entire match.
The Romanian coach had nothing but words of praise for the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/CFR-Cluj-c38778 forward and said:
“I think Traore himself, too, would be happy about his blistering form. This year has been fantastic for the Ivorian national and he certainly has a bright future at the Russian outfit.”
Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 suggest that some high profile European clubs are keeping tabs on the Ivorian striker. However, the UEFA Super Cup winner has remained tight-lipped over speculations surrounding the young front-man's future, insisting
that he is unaware of any rumours.
After the win, the Yellow-Greens have now reached to the seventh spot on the league table and trail the sixth-placed Rubin Kazan by a point.
Petrescu revealed that the Kazaki deserved to win the derby because they played exceptionally well against a stern opposition and highlighted the importance of Kuban’s win after three league games.
“It was a derby and our forwards did their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. Although the result do not allow us to see the other side of the picture that Krasnodar looked dangerous, too. I really do not like the way we played at the beginning of the meeting.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC manager was quoted as saying.
He added: "Zenit are so powerful now, that we must field 10 defenders and 5 goalies to stop them”.
With only a game left to play in the ongoing domestic season, Zenit are just a result away from retaining the league title this season.
The Romanian tactician warned his side against the power house and admitted that it will be extremely difficult for them to win the upcoming tie.
