Rubin Kazan’s Kurban Berdyev expecting a win against Shamrock http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385: UEFA Europa League
Rubin Kazan are drawn against Shamrock Rovers, PAOK and Tottenham Hotspurs in the group stages of the UEFA Europa League. The Rubies head coach, Kurban Berdyev, has revealed that Rubin have a good chance to progress from the group stages of the European
tournament.
The former FC Kairat boss revealed that the Volzhane have fallen into a tough group and they are going to play disciplined and quality football in order to progress through to the later stages of the cup tournament.
“It will be a difficult, tough game and fighting game against Shamrock. We have a little experience in switching from the championship of Russia to the European Cups and vice versa. As for fitness, there are no problems. APOEL and Zenith have taught a good
lesson to all. We need to go step by step, from match to match. Our task is to successfully play against Shamrock Rovers. I think the Europa League is as important to us as the Champions League.” The 59-year-old was quoted as saying.
Kurban Berdyev is the only manager, along with Jose Mourinho, to claim a win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 in the UEFA Champions League in the last two years. Rubin won 2-1 against the Culers at Camp Nou. Berdyev highlighted that the Tatary have enough experience
playing the European league and they are looking forward to claiming maximum points in order to top their group.
Berdyev admitted that the Tatary are struggling in the Russian Premier League at the moment but insisted that the UEFA Europa League is a completely different tournament compared to the league.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Taraz-c39224 coach bemoaned Rubin’s performance against FC Krasnodar in their latest Russian Premier League encounter. Rubin suffered a 3-1 defeat against the Bychelona following their questionable display throughout the match.
Citing the example of Zenit St. Petersburg’s recent 2-1 Champions League defeat to FC Apoel, the Russian national revealed that Rubin are not going to underestimate the Hoops.
