Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has told his side to trust http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yossi-Benayoun-c37520
The Russian national team will play their second group stage match of the World Cup qualifiers against Israel on Tuesday after their impressive 2-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972 at Stadion Lokomotiv on Friday.
Spartak Moscow midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diniyar-Bilyaletdinov-c11318, has admitted that his side faces a sterner test against the blue and white, admitting that his team fancy a win against Eli Guttman’s men after their unfortunate 1-1 draw in the
opening game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Azerbaijan-c2845.
Bilyaletdinov, who returned to the Russian Premier League after spending three seasons at Goodison Park, will watch the match from the sidelines as Fabio Capello has not named the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 man in the final 23-man squad.
The 27-year-old midfielder fell victim to the wrath of Capello after failing to impress at club level. He has now joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pavel-Pogrebnyak-c29501 on the sidelines.
Bilyaletdinov revealed that the Israeli team, who have a decent track record of spoiling Russian party following their 2-1 win over d**k Advocaat’s men in the qualifying round at Euro 2008, suffered a shocking defeat despite being
organized and disciplined at Baku.
“I think we will play against a stronger team but I am expect a win. Honestly, I only watched the second half of the match between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Israel-c2925 and Azerbaijan and I can say that the blue and white were sensations. They are a technical
team, in which most of the emphasis is on improvisation players. I think they will play to win at home.”
“I remember that game in 2007, when we failed to find an equalizer more than once. The Israelis defended competently and counterattacked us marvellously.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Bilyaletdinov warned the Russian defenders against the Israeli attacking midfielder, Yossi Benayoun, saying that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 famed player has a proven record of terrorizing opposition’s defence within no time.
The former West Ham United star made a cameo appearance against Azerbaijan after replacing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Itay-Shechter-c17205.
