Zenit St. Petersburg head coach, Luciano Spalletti, has updated on Aleksandr Kerzhakov’s injury and has hinted at signing few players in the summer transfer window
Zenit St. Petersburg head coach, Luciano Spalletti, has bemoaned the situation after his side recorded their first defeat of the ongoing campaign against Rubin Kazan at Petrovsky stadium on Sunday.
“The team started the game well, did what I had to do. We deservedly went ahead and created points to increase the advantage to win in the end game. I think our defeat was destined.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Though the home team grabbed an early advantage when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Viktor-Fayzulin-c36130 scored on the 25th minute, they failed to retain the lead after conceding two goals in the second-period of the match.
The St. Petersburg club previously suffered a 2-1 defeat against Spartak Moscow at home back in June.
Spalletti admitted that his side did not deserve to get all three points on Wednesday, saying that they were the second best team on the pitch despite playing the match in front of their own fans.
The Italian tactician went on to defend his side’s below par performance against the Kazan-based club, revealing that they failed to win the match after losing key players to injuries.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Alves-c8108 are in the treatment room after sustaining respective injuries.
Spalletti revealed that losing a player like Kerzhakov, who was their top-scorer last term, is a big blow for the team. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 manager admitted that the St. Petersburg club is struggling to score more goals without the
former Dynamo Moscow man.
However, Spalletti assured the fans of turning the tables, confirming that he is looking to strengthen the Russian outfit during the ongoing summer transfer window.
If speculations are to be believed, the 53-year-old, who has already confirmed an interest in signing Manchester United’s Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547, is likely to made a formal bid for Manchester
City striker, Eden Dzeko.
The Bosnian footballer is likely to leave Etihad stadium this summer after losing out his place in the starting line-up.
