Roman Pavlyuchenko has expressed his delight after he was named in the Russian national team squad for Euro 2012
Lokomotiv Moscow striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639, has hailed Slaven Bilic’s appointment at Lokomotiv stadium after the shocking resignation of Jose Couceiro, earlier this month.
The Croatian national team manager, who has signed a three-year contract at Moscow, is expected to take over Loko after Euro 2012.
Couceiro, who joined the ambitious Moscow-based club after resigning from Sporting Lisbon last year, resigned from the managerial post after being in charge of the Russian side for barely eleven months.
The Portuguese tactician parted company with the Russian outfit after failing to secure a UEFA Champions League berth this season.
Pavlyuchenko, who returned to the Russia from Tottenham Hotspur in January, revealed that his former team-mates have told him about Bilic, and gave the example of Croatian player: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vedran-Corluka-c35947.
“Slaven, it seems, is not only a strong specialist but also a very positive person with whom it will be interesting to work. I have been told that he is a top professional with a decent approach towards football.” The Russian Cup
winner was quoted as saying.
The 30-year-old Russian forward expressed his delight following the arrival of new manager at Moscow. He urged Bilic to alter the situation at the Moscow-based club, assuring his support to the 43-year-old manager.
The former Spartak Moscow man admitted that he is excited to work under the Croatian manager, who had earned a bronze medal for his native country during the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on the upcoming European event, Euro 2012, Pavlyuchenko expressed his delight after he was named in the provisional squad by d**k Advocaat. He insisted that the Russian national team has a huge responsibility on their
shoulders going into the Euros, and assured the fans of reaching the later stages of the continental tournament.
The former Rotor Volgograd attacker expressed his surprise over the omission of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dmitri-Torbinski-c11423 from the national team squad.
