Luciano Spalletti sums up Zenit St. Petersburg performance ahead of Krylia Sovetov Samara clash
Zenit St. Petersburg head coach, Luciano Spalletti, has revealed that the Bomzhi are ready to face Krylia Sovetov Samara in their upcoming Russian Premier League encounter.
The Meshki claimed a draw in their previous league clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 boss highlighted that Zenit tried to pressurize the visiting
team and tried to open up their defence but failed to score more goals in the second half at Petrovsky Stadium.
Leading Zenit goalscorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danko-Lazovic-c10188, missed a fantastic chance to equalize from the penalty spot in the first half against the Navozniki. Spalletti admitted that he was shocked to see his star performer hitting the penalty wide of the target but insisted
that the Russian national can establish himself as a good spot-kick taker.
"Danko has to be calm, he always score goals and with good technique and if the next time he feels to take the responsibility, he will strike from the penalty spot because scoring a penalty is more a matter of psychology than of training.” The former Udinese
coach was quoted as saying.
The Russian Cup winning coach warned Zenit that Perya are a difficult opponent to deal with despite their lower league position and the Meshki will have to cope up with their tricks because the Krysy are a threat from set pieces.
“We have a common goal, to win games. If something goes wrong, I need to change or do something in order to fix it. At the moment, Zenit need to cope up with all the tricks of Wings of the Soviets. I am sure that if we can create as many opportunities, this
time we will implement them” The Coppa Italia winner concluded.
Spalletti explained that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Miguel is in contention to play against the Samara. The Portuguese national is currently sidelined after sustaining an injury with his national team.
The Italian tactician believes that Zenit are preparing hard in order to claim the three points away from home to reduce the point-difference with league leaders, CSKA Moscow.
