Russian football agent, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergei-Ignashevich-c32956, in the upcoming World Cup qualifying match against the Portuguese national team at Luzhniki
stadium on Friday.
Abramov fired a barb at Ignashevich, who has been criticized for his awful defending after failing to help the national team defensively in the Euro 2012, saying that the Russian defender in not capable of handling http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
“I do not like Ignashevich because that guy has not impressed me. He has no speed, and there’s a risk that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 will exploit his weakness. The defender is already over 30, and we cannot expect too much from him now. I think
he will only make the team weak defensively. This is my point of view," the Russian national was quoted as saying.

However, they are leading the standings with a better goal difference. The Euro 2008 semi-finalists will play the upcoming match against the Navigators after winning back-to-back qualifying matchers against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972 and
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Israel-c2925 national team respectively.
Abramov went on to back Capello’s decision to play Zenit St. Petersburg’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694 in the upcoming match against the Navigator, saying that the former Juventus head coach knows that Denisov is an important player for the team.
Denisov, who has recently been criticized for his unprofessional behaviour after refusing to play in the St. Petersburg club’s 2-2 draw against FC Krylia Sovetov Samara due to an alleged matter of salary, will captain Russia at
Luzhniki stadium.
“The journalist wrote bad things about the player without knowing the whole story. Denisov will talk to media after the match and then we will see.” He added.
Abramov blasted the media for making a mess out of a little thing, saying that they always try to make a crispy story and does not even know whether the guy whom they are targeting is innocent or guilty.
