http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bibras-Natkho-c7592 has lamented Rubin Kazan’s latest defeat against Spartak Moscow and urged his side to win the upcoming League tie against the defending champions
Rubin Kazan midfielder, Bibras Natkho, has urged his side to win the upcoming Russian Premier League tie against Zenit St. Petersburg on Saturday after a panicking 2-1 defeat against Spartak Moscow Olympic Stadium (Moscow).
Kurban Berdyaev’s men suffered their second defeat of the ongoing league campaign as the hosts came from behind to win the thrilling encounter.
The Tatary conceded two second-half goals after taking an early lead in the game. Bibras Natcho opened the scoring from the penalty-spot.
Natkho has bemoaned his side’s latest defeat, insisting that they need to do a lot of hard work if they are to claim decent results against top Russian teams. He admitted that Rubin needs to improve their defence after conceding
too many goals already this season.
“For various reasons, our team was missing several important players. However, this should not be an excuse for us because we have to play well without them as well. We failed to impact and make good use of the chances.”
“We should have made it 2-0 but could not. The home team scored the first goal from a corner. We were unlucky to concede a penalty late in the game.”
“We just need to get ready to fight against Zenit and show them that what we can do”. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Israel-c2925 State Cup winner was quoted as saying.
When asked about whether the referee made the right decision to award a penalty, Natkho remained tight-lipped over answering the tricky question, saying that he has not seen the replay.
The Israeli midfielder went on to urge the Volzhane to win the upcoming tie against the defending champions, admitting that a win is necessary to regain their confidence after the defeat.
The Kazan-based club managed to defeat Zenit 2-0 in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 Super Cup earlier last month. However, Natkho believes that the upcoming league tie is going to be different match in a different competition.
