Alania Vladikavkaz’s Valery Gazzaev has backed CSKA Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Dzagoev to continue with his blistering Euro 2012 form
Alania Vladikavkaz President, Valery Gazzaev, has conceded that CSKA Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-Dzagoev-c4249 is having a fabulous campaign at Euro 2012. However, Gazzaev has insisted that he is not surprised by the promising midfielder’s scintillating
form at the moment.
As things stand, Russia are atop Group A. The Euro 2008 semi-finalists were pegged to a 1-1 draw against Poland at Stadion Narodowy after winning 4-1 in the opening group stage game against Czech Republic at Stadion Miejski on
Tuesday.
Out of the total five goals d**k Advocaat’s men have scored in the opening two group stage matches against the Narodaks and the White Eagles, Dzagoev has scored three goals from two appearances.
The former FC Krylia Sovetov Samara attacking midfielder scored two against Czech Republic in the opening game before scoring his team's only goal in the latest draw against the white and reds.
“The boy has some excellent techniques and his vision on the field is simply fantastic. Moreover, at the age of 17 he had some leadership qualities, which is a rare and important gift. It is no accident that Alan was made captain
of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Junior-c20060 national team of Russia.” The UEFA Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Gazzaev went on to admit that Advocaat, who will step down as Russia’s boss after agreeing a one-year deal at PSV-Eindhoven, was right to include the promising midfielder in the final 23-man squad ahead of the European tournament.
The former Dynamo Moscow head coach has appreciated Dzagoev’s efforts of attaining full fitness ahead of the continental tournament after spending over one-month on the sidelines following a serious injury.
Gazzaev, meanwhile, is credited to spot the talented midfielder in Togliatti Academy back in 2007. The Russian tactician has conceded that his son, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vladimir-c36322 Gazzaev, told him about Dzagoev.
“We invited Alan, along with another player http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dmitri-Ryzhov-c11415 for a trial at CSKA. Two days later he went to a training session with our team, and I asked immediately to sign a contract with him.” Gazzaev said.
