The FA Cup winner expressed his satisfaction on the 2-0 home win against Kuban Krasnodar and commented on former CSKA Moscow player Yuri Zhirkov’s injury.
Anzhi Makhachkala recorded their second Russian Premier League win of the third league round against Kuban Krasnodar under the newly appoints head coach, Guus Hiddink.
After a quiet first-half, where both the teams failed to get in front, the host team drew first blood and managed to double their lead soon after. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mbark-Boussoufa-c25085 and Odil Ahmedov were off colour during the crunch home game against
the Cossacks.
In the aftermath of the outcome, Hiddink has hailed his team’s performance, revealing that they deserved to win against the Yellow-greens at home. He praised Anzhi midfielder, Sharif Mukhammad, and assured him of more first team
action.
Sharif came off the bench to replace the injured midfielder, Joao Carlos, during the second period of the match. Hiddink revealed that the Brazilian national has sustained a foot injury but he refused to provide a date for his
return.
“I don’t want to single out one man out of all, but Sharif is one of those young players who are actively knocking at the door of the main structure. He proved himself during the training sessions and got his chance.” The former
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager was quoted as saying.
Hiddink went on to reveal his satisfaction on Oleg Shatov and Mehdi Gonzalez's performance. He hailed the star duo, admitting that they kept the opposition at bay. He credited http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Odil-Ahmedov-c28307 for cementing Anzhi’s lead following a
late goal.
The former Real Madrid manager admitted that Anzhi were lacking confidence in front of the goal. Hiddink revealed that they have now altered the situation by scoring two goals at home.
Speaking on their defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683, Hiddink said:
“Zhirkov sustained a minor injury while training. We, however, initially included him in the starting line-up, hoping that he will fully recover ahead of the match. But It turned out that it is not ready.”
Hiddink assured the fans of similar performances in the remaining matches of the ongoing league campaign.
