The Italian stopper has urged his side to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073; believes that Luciano Spalletti can lead the Russian national team
Zenit St. Petersburg defender, Domenico Criscito, believes that the St. Petersburg club needs to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Russian Premier League campaign.
The defender has urged his club to sign Ezequiel Lavezzi and Wesley Sneijder from SSC Napoli and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan respectively, during the summer transfer window.
There is little arguing that Zenit struggled offensively during the second league round, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danko-Lazovic-c10188 having to spend time on the sidelines after sustaining recurring injuries.
Consequently, the Russian outfit wants a permanent solution to their striking problems after getting tired of their misfiring and injury prone strikers at Petrovsky stadium.
Luciano Spalletti, who has recently extended his stay at Petrovsky, has also hinted to replace the dead wood at the Russian outfit and assured the fans of new signings. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 tactician recently revealed that he
has full support of Gazprom, Zenit‘s owners, to strengthen his squad during the summer.
If speculations are to be believed, Lazovic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Bukharov-c4555 are set to leave the Russian outfit this summer, and Zenit, who failed to meet Lavezzi's valuationv during winter, are favourites to sign the Argentine hitman
this time around.
There is little arguing that the St. Petersburg club has done little business during the last two transfer windows. Zenit managed to sign Criscito from Serie A club, Genoa, last summer.
But given that, Spalletti has now convinced Gazprom to spend this summer, and Zenit are most likely to sign Lavezzi.
Criscito, who joined the Russian outfit last year, revealed that the Meshki have a decent coach and they need to focus on new signings if they are to continue their decent domestic run.
The former Juventus stopper went on to express his delight after winning the league title this season, and assured the fans of continuing their efforts to win more trophies in the near future.
“I am proud to win the Russian championship but I like Italian football too. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 has impressed in the UEFA Champions League this season. I know Lavezzi and Sneijder are linked with Zenit. Well, I hope that the club will
be able to sign these players.” The Italian national was quoted as saying.
While commenting on Spalletti, Criscito credited the former Udinese manager behind Zenit’s successful season, and admitted that Spalletti has helped him become a mature player.
Criscito revealed that Spalletti has all the attributes to become Russian national team head coach, should d**k Advocaat resigns from his post after the Euro 2012.
“He has adjusted to life in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 quickly and knows much about the Russian championship.” Criscito concluded.
