Danny Miguel believes that his side can progress to the next round of the UEFA Champions League if they can win against Malaga CF and AC Milan
Zenit St. Petersburg made life difficult for them in the UEFA Champions League after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat in their last group stage match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 at Constant Vanden Stock on Tuesday.
However, their progression to the knock-out round of the European competition is still possible mathematically if they win the remaining two group stage games and AC Milan claim all three points against Anderlecht on Thursday.
The St. Petersburg club’s attacking midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Miguel, has urged his side to win the upcoming European fixtures against Malaga and AC Milan if they are to keep alive their hopes of playing in the later stages of the continental
tournament.
The Portuguese player, who returned to action after recovering from a knee injury that ruled him out to play a further part until eleven months, revealed that Zenit have every reason to be optimistic keeping in mind their decent
European record.
Luciano Spalletti’s men were denied a chance to complete their Russian Premier League meeting with Dynamo Moscow at Arena Khimki on Saturday after the match officials abandoned the match following fans riot.
Danny lamented the situation and urged the Russian football union to take necessary steps against the questionable behaviour of the fans in the stadium. The Dinamiki fans threw firecrackers on the pitch of which one hit http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anton-Shunin-c6283.
Consequently, Shunin was taken to the nearby hospital and news in Russian predicted the Russian goalkeeper to serve lengthy spell on the sidelines. However, the White-Blues later confirmed that the 25-year-old escaped serious injury.
“What happened in the game against Dynamo is in the past now. So, we need to concentrate on our next game against Malaga. I think that we are fully prepared and are likely to achieve a good result. It is an important match for
us.” The former Sporting Lisbon player was quoted as saying.
Danny went on to admit that Zenit have a decent squad that can outcast their worthy opponents in Europe.
