Gadzhiev stated that Anzhi Makhachkala and Dynamo Moscow’s UEFA Europa League wins against Vitesse and Dundee United confirm that the Russian championship is progressing.
Dynamo Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala managed to progress from the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round after defeating the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 (4-0) and Dundee United (7-2) on aggregate.
The Dinamiki won the return leg 5-0 against the Scottish club prior to their 2-2 draw in the first-leg, while the Makhachkala-based club managed to extend their aggregate lead to 4-0 after defeating the Dutch side 2-0 in the first
fixture at home.
The Musora and the Dagestani club are now awaiting the draws to see who they face in the playoff round.
The fact that both the Russian outfits have come on top of their European oppositions delights Gadzhi Gadzhiev, who believes that it’s just a beginning to the new era for the Russian Premier League clubs.
“It is important that Dynamo Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala have reached the playoff round in the Europa League. This fully confirms the thesis, which has long been put forward by our football experts: Russian championship, without
doubt, is one of the best in Europe.”
"My assertion is that, our league is stronger than the Dutch championship. But look: they have usually the same three or four teams that remain on top. In out championship, it is nearly impossible for a team to finish at a similar
position every year. It is much harder.” The former Spartak Leningrad player was quoted as saying.
Many players are now willing to move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rasmus-Elm-c30628 and Matias Suarez have all joined Russian outfits over the course of last two years.
The FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod manager is of the view that the Russian outfits are capable of defeating tough European opponents and gave the example of CSKA Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg’s UEFA Cup wins back in 2005 and 2008 respectively.
Gadzhiev insisted that the Russian championship, which is at the seventh spot in the UEFA coefficient rankings above Eredivisie and Ukrainian Premier League, is rightly amongst the top leagues in the world.
