Slavoljub Muslin is full of praise for the Russian national team after winning the opening group stage match at Stadion Lokomotiv on Friday
The Russian national team managed to kick start the World Cup campaign on a high following their 2-0 win in the opening group stage game against Northern Ireland at Moscow.
FC Krasnodar head coach, Slavoljub Muslin, has hailed the Euro 2008 semi-finalists, admitting that they were more disciplined and organized this time around under the newly appointed head coach.
d**k Advocaat, who joined PSV-Eindhoven earlier this month, resigned after an unsuccessful spell with the Russian national team at Euro 2008 and was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello last month.
“The team met all expectations after showing great discipline on the pitch. They showed that they have enough quality in the first half the game as they created enough chances to score. However, they started to play less expressive
football after the break.”
“I believe the team played with good discipline and was thoroughly organized against the Irish team. We need to accept that they had a great game and got a well-deserved victory. We can clearly see that Capello is working his magic
with the team.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Red-Star-c40350 Belgrade player was quoted as saying.
Though Muslin insisted that there were problems with the implementation of the chances, he was quick to admit that the hardest thing in football is to avail all given opportunities in the match.
The Serbian tactician admitted that Capello is the right man for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and is likely to address Russia’s defensive problems in order to build a team that can play against stronger opponents.
Muslin revealed that it looked like Capello worked on the defensive aspects of the game prior to their opening group stage match against the Irish team and hailed the team coordination between defenders, four midfielders and attacking
players.
Capello’s ward will now face the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Israel-c2925 national football team at National Stadium Ramat Gan on Tuesday after securing their first win. The blue and white, on the other hand, will play on the back of a 1-1 draw against worthy group
opponents, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Azerbaijan-c2845.
