Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC manager believes Samuel Eto’o and Yuri Zhirkov played decent football during the latest Russian Premier League defeat and praised Pavlyuchenko.
Anzhi Makhachkala’s faltering Russian Premier League form continues, as they surrendered to Jose Couceiro’s men at Lokomotiv stadium with a 1-0 defeat. Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-Glushakov-c10855, scored the only goal of the match
for the host team.
Though the ambitious Russian club started the third league round with a win against Dynamo Moscow, they failed to extend their decent league run after drawing the home game against Spartak Moscow.
Anzhi have now moved down to the seventh spot on the league table after losing all three points in their latest league encounter against the Railroaders.
In the aftermath of the outcome, Guus Hiddink has lamented the latest defeat against the Moscow-based club, admitting that the Dagestani club surrendered cheaply after conceding a late goal on the away turf.
Hiddink, who joined the Russian outfit by replacing Yuri Krasnozhan during the winter transfer window, revealed that Anzhi have a lot of potential despite their dramatic defeat. He went on to defend his side and praised Samuel
Eto’o and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683’s performance against the Lokhi.
“The result has disappointed us and we need to alter the situation. However, I believe that the Dagestani club have significantly improved as compared to last year. We want to be in the top three to qualify for Europe.” The FA
Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Besides praising Anzhi players, the former Real Madrid boss credited the Moscow-based club after putting up a neat performance against his side and hailed latest Parovozy signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639.
Lokomotiv signed the Russian striker from Tottenham Hotspur during the transfer window for an undisclosed fee. Hiddink admitted that Pavlyuchenko was on top of the Anzhi defenders, admitting he troubled http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christopher-Samba-c9212 and Joao
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 during the crunch league encounter.
“He did not have enough opportunities to score but he was very good on the ball. He terrorized our defenders and I think he will be back to his best after returning to the Russian top division.” Hiddink said.
