There is little arguing to the statement that Fabio Capello is behind Russian national team’s successful start to the World Cup campaign. Russia looked a completely different side in the tournament ever since the Italian has taken
charge as their manager this summer.
Dmitri Sennikov has insisted that the Russian Football Union made a terrific decision to appoint Capello to replace d**k Advocaat, who failed to deliver the desired results during Euro 2012.
The Euro 2008 semi-finalists saw a drastic change in the composition of the team since Capello’s arrival. The former AC Milan manager stunned the world after making some bold decisions in the selection process.
Capello excluded some senior members of the team, telling the media that nobody in the team is untouchable. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683 did not receive
a call-up this time around.
The 66-year-old has particularly been praised for his selection of controversy-hit Zenit St. Petersburg’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694, who widely impressed in Russia’s 1-0 win against Portugal at Luzhniki stadium on Friday.
However, Sennikov believes that Capello’s men have a difficult task to extend their winning run in the competition when they host Azerbaijan in the upcoming qualifying match on Tuesday.
“Capello has organized the out-of-shape team’s defence within no time. He is working hard and showing that he was the right choice. We have a team full of good level and experienced guys but I think Capello is doing a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
“He told the team how to move, how to hold the line, how to act in defence and how not to lose concentration during the match against Portugal. I even think that the team has their own style of play regardless of carious players
from Zenit and CSKA Moscow.” The CIS Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Sennikov insisted that Russia are the favourites to progress to the later stages of the tournament after tormenting the likes of Portugal.
