Lokomotiv Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Filtsov-c4564 is ready for the big challenge against Zenit St. Petersburg
Lokomotiv Moscow are facing goalkeeping dire straits following injuries to their top two goalkeepers. First choice shot-stopper Guilherme is currently sidelined after sustaining an injury against Spartak Moscow and the Lokhi reserve gloves-man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anton-Amelchenko-c6254,
is still not available.
Reports in Russian suggest that the Red Greens manager, Jose Couceiro, is likely to line up http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 goalkeeper, Aleksandr Filtsov, in their upcoming Russian Premier League encounter against Zenit St. Petersburg. Filtsov managed to play
against Spartak Moscow and Kuban Krasnodar previously and now has a terrific chance to impress Couceiro.
Filtsov believes that the time has come to serve his side and hoped for a better performance against the league leaders. The Russian gloves man heaped praise on Guilherme by insisting that it is going to be very difficult to replace him and assured the fans
that he is ready for the challenge.
The former FC Togliatti player highlighted that the Parovozy are playing fabulous football under their head coach. Filtsov praised the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 boss and revealed that the Portuguese national helped the entire squad by lifting their confidence level.
The Moscow-based club have managed to claim 14 points from their last six league meetings and have not conceded a single goal.
“I am absolutely delighted. I'm ready to play if the coach wants me. I have already made my debut in the Premier League by playing against Spartacus and Kuban. I feel that over the past few months, I wanted to play for the first team. When I first came
to Lokomotiv, I had set my aim to be a member of the first team, though I still need a lot of work in order to book a place in the starting berth. It was not nice to see Guilherme come off against Spartak and it is a big blow to lose such a terrific goalkeeper.”
The former FC Krylia Sovetov-SOK Dimitrovgrad player was quoted as saying.
Filtsov admitted that it is nice to keep clean-sheets but insisted that the team win is more important. The 21-year-old admitted that he desperately wanted a chance to play in the first team and now the time has come for him to show his capabilities.
