A lot of positive news for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 as Malafeev justified his place in the starting line-up, Ignashevich showed mater class defensive techniques and Dzagoev proved his critic wrong.
Bettor.com has assessed the Russian national team players for the match against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 at
Stadion Miejski on Friday. The players are rated on the scale of 5.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Akinfeev-c16676 failed to pass a late fitness test. Though the Zenit St. Petersburg goalkeeper
had little to do in the first half, the 28-year-old has made some exceptional saves in the second period.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player has played some quality football in the early minutes of the meeting, but
Yuri can play better, we know it.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergei-Ignashevich-c32956 - 4.5 points. CSKA Moscow defender has successfully won most of the duels against the Narodak’s. However, he failed to stop Vaclav Pilař scoring the only goal for the Czech’s.
Alexei Berezutsky - 3.5 points. The 29-year-old has impressed in the first-half. However, he lost his composure at times and was helped by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Anyukov-c4549 at times in the second-half.
Alexander Anyukov - 3 points. Zenit’s defender justified his role to match Peter Jiracek. Though Anyukov lost a couple of headers at the start, he overcame the problem soon after.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694 - 4.5 points. Denisov looked as a defensive midfield player much of the game. However, he managed to control Tomas Rosicky, the Narodak’s captain, to make any attacking move.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Konstantin-Zyryanov-c21312 - 4 points. He worked well with the team. Zenit’s midfielder has played his part both defensively and offensively. The 34-year-old looked comfortable in the midfield area.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Shirokov-c31645 - 4 points. The prolific attacking midfielder has managed to please the fans by his clever transmission of the ball. Shirokov doubled Russia’s lead on the 24th minute after chipping the
ball over Peter Cech’s head.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771 - 4 points. If we evaluate the first thirty minutes of the game, we can say that Arshavin had a fantastic game. He played a key part in both of the opening two goals in the first-half but in the
second-half; Arsenal’s striker played a familiar role of an invisible man.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-Dzagoev-c4249 - 5 points. The in-form Russian striker appeared to be the only hope in the Russian attack. Dzagoev scored his first goal after scoring from a rebound in first half and went on to score his second
goal after receiving a fabulous assist from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639 in the second-half.
The promising 21-year-old forward has now scored five goals in 8 appearances for his country.
Alexander Kerzhakov - 3 points. Kerzhakov, who scored the opening goal in the third friendly match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, has failed to meet the standards this time around. There is little arguing to the statement that
Russia would have scored more goals had the 30-year-old taken all his chances.
It looked like d**k Advocaat was wrong to choose him above Spartak Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Artem-Dzyuba-c6682.
Roman Pavlyuchenko - 5 points. The former Tottenham Hotspur man came out on the field in the second half and managed to provide an assist and score the final goal of the match.
