The Argentine international hails his side after winning the Russian Premier League tie 1-0 against Anzhi Makhachkala and tips Cesar Navas to retain captain’s armband
Rubin Kazan recorded their first Russian Premier League win during the third league round, after winning against Anzhi Makhachkala at Tsentralnyi stadion. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Obafemi-Martins-c28273 put the hosts ahead by scoring the only goal of the match
during the second-half of the match.
Rubin, who have been embroiled in a three-way tussle for a third-placed finish along with Anzhi, Dynamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow, have now reached at a touching distance in their quest to claim a UEFA Champions League berth this
season.
Rubin, meanwhile, were looking for their first league win since the start of the third league round, having claimed two draws and a defeat. However, with their latest win over Anzhi, they have now climbed to the sixth spot on the
league table.
In the aftermath of the outcome, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-Ansaldi-c9499, has hailed his side’s performance and expressed his satisfaction after ending their poor league spell. He urged Rubin to extend their decent domestic run by winning their remaining
games of the ongoing league campaign.
The Argentine defender revealed that the Tatary could have conceded a goal had they not recorded an immaculate defensive performance. Ansaldi admitted that the Dagestani club had their moments early on in the game, but Rubin showed
nerves of steel to deny the visitors to get away with a point.
The fact that Volzhane defender, Cesar Navas, was handed the captain’s arm band by the head coach, Kurban Berdyev, in Roman Sharonov’s absence, delights Ansaldi, who believes that the manager was right to hand over the arm band
to the Spanish national.
“The coach made the right decision because Rubin needs a captain who can play continuously and can lead a team through thick and thin.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
The former Newell's Old Boys player went on to deny that they were afraid to play against the mega-rich Russian club, knowing that they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against them, earlier this season.
