Dan Petrescu has urged Dynamo Moscow to extend their decent run in the Russian Premier League after defeating Zenit St. Petersburg at Arena Khimki on Saturday
Dynamo Moscow, who climbed up to 10th spot on the Russian Premier League table from the bottom-spot after recording 5 wins in their last 7 league outings, now face a difficult fixture against the defending league champions
at home.
And while most of the football analysts have declared Zenit St. Petersburg as the favourites to claim all three points against the Moscow-based club given their superb form this season, Dan Petrescu has backed his side to silence
their critics.
The Romanian tactician was of the belief that he has decent players at his disposal and highlighted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kokorin-c4576 as one of them. However, he urged the Russian striker to work harder in order to become as good as Aleksandr
Kerzhakov in the near future.
Kerzhakov has been the St. Petersburg club’s stand-out performer this season, having already scored 11 goals in all competitions.
The 29-year-old attacker managed to score a winner against Volga Nizhny Novgorod on Sunday which made him the leading goal-scorer in the Russian championship so far this season.
Petrescu told Kokorin to learn from the former Sevilla striker if he is to become one of the best strikers in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991.
“Kerzhakov is ahead Kokorin as far as stats are concerned. In order to get closer to Kerzhakov, Kokorin needs to constantly score goals, both for the club and for the national team. He still has many years ahead of him as he is
just 21.”
“A football player should be a professional in everything he does. This also applies to preparation for the match, the relationship with the manager, working hard in training process and behaviour outside the field.”
“The player must keep him head down to play regardless of which position the manager put him.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man was quoted as saying.
Petrescu went on to admit that the White-Blues will make necessary changes to their squad in the January transfer window, insisting that they lack quality players at certain areas of the pitch.
