Aleksandr Maslov has hailed Zenit St. Petersburg’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kokorin-c4576 and has backed them to score more goals
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
The former FC Barcelona striker joined the mega rich Dagestani club after following in the footsteps of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317, after the two clubs agreed on a 28 million Euros transfer fee for the proven goal-scorer.
Eto’o, who enjoyed silverware during his stay at European famed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 and Inter respectively, has already scored 15 goals in all competition including jaw dropping performances in the European front.
However, Maslov refused to compare Eto’o with Zenit St. Petersburg’s Hulk, insisting that the Brazilian attacker lacks enough courage to adapt to an unfamiliar territory i.e. the Russian championship unlike Eto’o.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, who joined Petrovsky stadium for a reported 60 million Euro fee this summer, has arguably failed to deliver until now, having scored just two league goals in nine league appearances this season.
“Eto'o is a fantastic striker. In some games he does not look too bright but in general, he deserves respect. He is an amazing wizard, who tried to give consistent performances. Anzhi are fortunate enough to have him.”
“Hulk, on the other hand, is yet to prove himself. He looked like a menace during his days at Porto. Clearly, he lacks the adaptation qualities. Some players fail to perform after changing countries. We can see in his performances
that he is having a bad time.”
“But I think that he will become an important player for Zenit in near future.” The former Dynamo Makhachkala man was quoted as saying.
Maslov went on to highlight Zenit’s Aleksandr Kerzhakov, Terek Grozny’s Ailton Almeida and Dynamo Moscow’s Aleksandr Kokorin as the best players in the Russian championship at the moment and backed them to score more goals this
season.
The Russian national said that he was surprised to see Almeida scoring a lot of goals this season.
