The Belgian International insisted that a fine performance from all individuals will increase their confidence.
“Winning is always nice, especially when we have out casted the opponents in almost every department on the field. We are very pleased and will now go to our International duties with pleasant mood. Now all is well.”
“Well, we already have a good experience in playing these kinds of games but the good thing is that we crushed our opponents and did not give them a chance to score at home. In general to lose points here would have been a little
embarrassing.” The Russian Super Cup winner was quoted as saying.
The St. Petersburg club have been drawn against RSC Anderlecht, AC Milan and Malaga in the UEFA Champions League group stages.
Lombaerts expressed his excitement over playing the group stage matches against one of the top club in Europe, and urges his side to help the Russian outfit in progressing to the later stage of the European tournament.
