http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639 has compared the preparatory process of the present and past European Championship and has spoken about his health.
Lokomotiv Moscow striker, Roman Pavlyuchenko, has conceded that the Russian national team is in optimum condition to kick start Euro 2012 after a successful completion of friendly matches.
Though, Russia have failed to outclass Uruguay (1-1) and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 (3-0) at Zurich stadium. Russia will now kick start their European tournament
by playing the opening game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882.
Pavlyuchenko, who has been called upon to the national team by d**k Advocaat, is arguably the most reputed player in the national team along with Zenit St. Petersburg’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771. However, the 30-year-old striker has
failed to impress in the friendly matches.
The former Tottenham Hotspur man has made cameo appearances in the last two friendly matches after missing out the first friendly match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035.
However, the in-form striker will compete for a place in the starting line-up in presence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pavel-Pogrebnyak-c29501 ahead of the opening match against Czech Republic at Stadion Miejski on
Friday.
There is little arguing that the Russian Cup winner has managed to rediscover his old form after making a move to Lokomotiv in January, having scored two goals from nine league appearances. Pavlyuchenko, meanwhile, has scored
21 goals from 47 appearances for his country.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 and Czech Republic in the group stages.
Pavlyuchenko has urged his side to work harder for the upcoming encounter against a decent opposition, and has assured the fans of progressing to the later stages of the European tournament.
“Preparations are now the same as we had in 2008. But I think the team has changed. We have come a long way since then. Now we have an experienced team, a strong team, which for which many opponents are afraid.” The former
Spartak Moscow player was quoted as saying.
Pavlyuchenko has admitted that he is anxiously awaiting his chance to represent his country at Euros, expressing his desire to play the upcoming match against the Narodak’s.
