Roman Shirokov urges Zenit St. Petersburg to focus on FC Amkar Perm tie after CSKA Moscow win
Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Amkar-Perm-c39067 at Petrovsky stadium.
“I played against CSKA in Moscow, only the third time. CSKA - our principal rival in the championship, we have reduced the difference to two points, so of course we are happy”. The former Saturn Moscow Oblast player was quoted as saying.
Shirokov admitted that Zenit played defensively against the Army Men in order to reduce the gap from the league leaders. The former FC Istra player explained that the Koni relied upon their star strikers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vagner-c35793 Love, and did not use their
flanks to attack the Meshki.
The former FC Khimki player heaped praise on the Bomzhi head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti, revealing that the Italian tactician defeated CSKA Moscow manager, Leonid Slutsky, in their tactical battle. Spalletti played five defenders, involving three central defenders,
against the Moscow-based club and the move paid rich dividends.
The Russian Cup winner praised the Koni defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergei-Ignashevich-c32956, revealing his wish to play alongside the Russian national. Shirokov explained that he is inspired by the former Lokomotiv Moscow stopper.
CSKA Moscow are going to play a difficult game against Rubin Kazan, currently residing on the fourth spot on the league table. Shirokov believes that the Rubies have just defeated Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Champions League and they are going to give the Armeytsy
a very difficult time at Tsentralnyi Stadium.
The Meshki are currently preparing for their upcoming league clash against the Navozniki, and Shirokov believes that it is not going to be an easy task to claim a win against a team that usually plays disciplined football.
“Amkar are not a weak team, and we know perfectly that they defend well. So we need to score quickly, and then it will be easier.” The 30-Year-old concluded.
The midfielder believes that Zenit cannot relax until they reach the top spot of the Russian Premier League.
