The Argentine defender has expressed his satisfaction over their UEFA Champions League first-leg win against Fenerbahce and has welcomed Juan Insaurralde to Moscow
Spartak Moscow recorded a 2-1 win in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first-leg over Fenerbahce at Olympic Stadium (Luzhniki) on Tuesday; prior to their 2-1 win in the Russian Premier League tie against Rubin Kazan
last week.
The Spartachi claimed back-to-back wins in the opening three games of the ongoing league campaign against Dynamo Moscow, Alania Vladikavkaz and Volga Nizhny Novgorod.
The only dark side to their season has been their 5-0 defeat against Zenit St. Petersburg at Petrovsky stadium earlier this month. However, the Muscovites have a good excuse to make as they played the second-half with ten men after
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aiden-McGeady-c4091 was sent off.
The fact that the Moscow-based club kick started the ongoing league campaign on a high pleases Nicolas Pareja, who has urged his side to extend their decent run if they are to steal the league title under Zenit’s noses this time
around.
“I am happy with the results since the start of the season. We had a really tough game against the defending champion. We have managed to score in every single match up till now and managed to claim a clean-sheet against Dynamo
Moscow.”
"The game against Zenit turned out to be a harsh lesson for us. But we turned the tables after winning the very next round against title contenders, Rubin Kazan, after such a heavy defeat.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 player was
quoted as saying.
There is little doubt about the statement that Spartak challenged for the league title last season. However, they finished 2nd after a series of disappointing results in the third league round last season.
The fact that Spartak have signed Argentinean player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juan-Manuel-Insaurralde-c19771, during the ongoing summer transfer window delights Pareja, who believes that the Moscow-based club made the right decision to sign the prolific centre-back.
Insaurralde signed a three-year contract with the Russian outfit after moving from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658. The two clubs reportedly agreed over a 4 million Euros fee for the 27-year-old defender.
