Slaven Bilic has warned Lokomotiv Moscow against Salomon Rondon, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bibras-Natkho-c7592 in the upcoming Russian Premier League tie against Rubin Kazan
With CSKA Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala playing their respective fixtures on Sunday, Lokomotiv Moscow have a decent chance to climb up to the third spot on the Russian Premier League table after winning the upcoming match against
Rubin Kazan on Saturday.
As things stand, they are at the fifth spot and trail the leaguer leaders, Terek Grozny, by six points.
The Railroaders will play the match on the back of a 2-1 win over Spartak Moscow while the Volzhane will face the Yellow-Greens after suffering a pulsating 2-1 defeat against the Chechens.
Lokomotiv head coach, Slaven Bilic, has urged his side to claim all three points against their next opponents, admitting that it will be a tough fight against the well organized Kazan-based club.
“It will be very hard to win against Rubin as they play by putting sufficient amount of pressure on opponents and they have players who can decide the fate of the match themselves.”
“They are an organized team with great defenders. I think our last win against Spartak will give us extra motivation going into the match.” The Croatian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Bilic, who joined the Moscow-based club after partying company with the Croatian national team this summer, insisted that Rubin have a decent squad and warned his side’s defenders against in-form player: Bibras Natkho, Roman Eremenko
and Salomon Rondon.
Natkho is proving himself to be a goal-scoring midfielder after scoring six goals in seven league appearances.
The Israeli midfielder, who scored the opening goal of the match in the World Cup qualifying round against Azerbaijan, is expected to play the upcoming match after returning from the International duty on Wednesday.
Eremenko, on the other hand, is in scintillating form at the moment, having already scored three goals for the Russian outfit this season.
And Finally Rondon, who opened his goal-scoring account for his new club after an impressive spell at Malaga last season, is likely to lead the attack after compiling a wonderful brace against the Paraguayan national team on Wednesday.
