The in-form attacking midfielder has assured the fans of a fabulous European campaign after Russia’s 4-1 win against Czech Republic at Stadion Miejski
The fact that the Russian national team outplayed Czech Republic 4-1 in the opening group stage game at Euro 2012 delights http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-Dzagoev-c4249, who believes that his side has all the attributes to reach the final of the European tournament.
There is little arguing that Dzagoev had a fantastic game as the former Krylia Sovetov Samara player compiled a superb brace against the Narodaks. The prolific attacking midfielder managed to score his fifth goal for Russia from
last eight European appearances.
According to the OPTA stats, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder has become the youngest Russian player to compile a brace in Europe. Valentin Ivanov was the first Russian player to score two goals against Czechoslovakia in 1960.
Dzagoev has now become the second youngest goal-scorer, after England’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 to score two goals in the history of the continental tournament. The Manchester United striker was only 18 when he compiled a brace against Croatia
at Euro 2004.
However, CSKA Moscow’s player believes that personal records are not important for him. He credited the entire team for the latest win and has urged his team-mates to display similar performances in the coveted tournament.
"It's nice to get the man of the match award after the match. It's great that we have finally won. But I think its just the first step toward the final of the tournament. We are desperate to reach the final.”
“It was difficult when the score was 2-1 in the second-half”
“Usually player need time to get match fitness after recovering from an injury but It’s unbelievable for me to rediscover my form so quickly. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marat-Izmailov-c23466 sustained an injury for which Advocaat called upon my services.” The Russian
Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Commenting on the changing moment of the game, Dzagoev has conceded that Advocaat did the right thing to introduce http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kerzhakov-c4569.
