http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-Glushakov-c10855 has hailed the Russian national team’s terrific start to the campaign and has urged them to find consistency in their performances
Lokomotiv Moscow and Russian national team central midfielder, Denis Glushakov, has credited http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello for their team’s dream start to the World Cup, saying that the Italian tactician has turned the tables after joining as
their manager.
The former Real Madrid and AC Milan manager replaced d**k Advocaat, who resigned after failing to help Russia in progressing from the group stages at Euro 2012, after signing a three-year contract this summer.
There is little arguing to the statement that Russia were completely struggling both offensively and defensively when he took over as their manager back in June. However, he used his magical wand to change the fortunes of the team.
The Euro 2008 semi-finalists have won all four qualifying matches against Northern Ireland, Israel, Portugal and Azerbaijan without conceding a single goal. In fact, they are the only European team to claim back-to-back wins without
conceding a goal.
“We took twelve points so far and I think this is what matters in the end. We had a tough game against Israel on the away turf and some exciting games against Northern Ireland and Portugal on the road. It was hard to play with
each of the opponent because there are no easy teams in the tournament.”
“The training process and discipline of the team has changed for good. Capello is constantly inviting a lot of new players to give them a chance to prove.” The former Nika Moscow player was quoted as saying.
Glushakov hailed Capello’s impact on the team and admired his bold selection decisions prior to the qualifying matches of the competition. The 66-year-old proved his critics wrong after dropping famous players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639,

Capello has also been praised for making a right decision to include controversy-hit Zenit St. Petersburg’s midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694, in the squad despite his tarnished reputation at the club level.
Russia will now play the remaining qualifying matches of the tournament next month.
