The Portuguese national has lamented Zenit St. Petersburg’s third defeat in the UEFA Champions League against Anderlecht and has commented on Hulk’s absence
Zenit St. Petersburg attacking midfielder, Danny Miguel, has tried to defend his side’s defeat in the UEFA Champions League’s group stage match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, saying that Luciano Spalletti’s
men lacked attacking instinct.
In-form Anderlecht striker, Dieudonne Mbokani, scored the only goal during the second-half of the European fixture.
The Portugal International revealed that the defending Russian Premier League champions would have won the match had all the players remained fit for the enthralling European encounter.
Out of the various injured players including the fringe players, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 was arguably the major absentee. The Brazilian striker failed to participate in the match after reportedly sustaining a hamstring injury.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 ace, who joined the Russian outfit for a record 60 million Euro fee during the summer transfer window, is likely to miss the remaining games of the continental tournament, having already missed crucial league
and European matches.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193, who himself returned to first team action after spending 11 months on the sidelines following a knee injury, revealed that the team lacked the offensive quality which was needed to win the match.
“I am very disappointed but I must say that Anderlecht is not an easy team. They played well at the start, then scored and did everything that we failed to do. But we still have a chance to move on. We just need to play better
than this in order to keep a place in the Champions League.”
“Hulk is an incredibly good player and I enjoy playing with him as I loved playing alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alejandro-Domínguez-c4408 respectively. So when I started play with Hulk, I knew everything will go well.” The former Sporting
Lisbon player was quoted as saying.
Danny went on to urge his side to win the remaining matches of the competition against Malaga and AC Milan, telling his teammates that they should consider each match as a cup final if they are to move on to the next round of the
tournament.
