Syarhey Herasimets has demanded more wins from Zenit St. Petersburg after reminding them their 5-0 Russian Premier League victory against Spartak Moscow at Petrovsky
Former Shakhtar Donetsk striker, Syarhey
Herasimets, has lavished praise on Zenit St. Petersburg’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Shirokov-c31645 as the best player in the Russian Premier League at the moment.
Shirokov, who joined the St. Petersburg club from FC Khimki back in 2008, excelled in the UEFA Champions League last term after helping the defending league champions in progressing to the round-of-16 of the cup competition.
The attacking midfielder caught the eyes of some biggest European clubs courtesy to his spell bounding, jaw dropping fantastic performances. The former CSKA Moscow man, meanwhile, scored five goals in the tournament including the
winner against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542.
There is little arguing to the statement that Shirokov has been a stand-out performer for the defending champions this season after being voted November’s best player after putting in some fabulous performances last month.
“The best player in Zenit is difficult to distinguish. But I would agree with the opinion of the pundits that Shirokov has been brilliant so far. He had a great last season. I wish he can conduct all the matches on the same level
at which he played in last year's Champions League," the USSR Federation Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Hyerasimets went on to point out the latest acquisitions at Petrovsky stadium, saying that Zenit silenced their critics after signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 during the summer transfer window.
The former Dinamo Minsk player went on to remind Zenit of their 5-0 win against Spartak Moscow at Petrovsky stadium back in August, saying that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti’s men showed true class against their arch rivals at home.
“I think this victory will be remembered for years to come as it was against the Russian giants. I wish Zenit could spend the rest of the season just like that after their shameful exit from the Champions League. I hope New Year
will bring us success," he concluded.
As things stand, Zenit are at the 3rd spot on the league table and trail the leading spot by five points.
