Luciano Spalletti heaps praise on Zenit St. Petersburg’s performance against FK Rostov
Luciano Spalletti has expressed his views in the aftermath of his side’s thumping 4-0 Russian Premier League win over FK Rostov at Petrovsky stadium on June 14, 2011.
The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 boss was satisfied with his side’s performance and praised the quality of football played against a good side.
“Today, I again saw the ‘Zenit’ which is familiar to me. From the first second, my players actively demonstrating what we planned to do before the game. The nature of the game greatly influenced our early goal.” Luciano Spalletti said.
The Italian coach appreciated the contributions made by striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kerzhakov-c4569, who has recently recovered from an injury that had forced him to the sidelines for some time. Spalletti understands that the striker has the killer instinct, but appreciated
the player’s unselfish attitude where he opts to pass rather than shoot.
“Kerzhakov did not score today but he had a great game, one of the best of his Zenit career. I am very pleased to see such a mature striker.” The boss enthused.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danko-Lazovic-c10188, the top scorer at Zenit, added a second. Zenit currently occupy the second place in the Russian Premier League and are now just two points behind the league leaders, CSKA
Moscow.
The head coach was quizzed about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Miguel, who was signed for 30 million Euros from Dynamo Moscow in 2008, as the Portuguese ace did not feature in the game. The former Udinese tactician revealed that the player has only returned after catering to a
family affair, and was thus left on the bench.
Spalletti, now 52, also believes that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-c35214 Tomsk, has been doing great as the forward has netted three goals for his team so far. Spalletti revealed that he wants the forward to play regularly to have
a chance of returning to Zenit.
