Russian Football Union president has urged the Russian national team to win the European tournament, Euro 2012
Former Zenit St. Petersburg president, Sergey Fursenko, has hailed Dynamo Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694 after the 28-year-old won the best midfielder award for the 2011/12 Russian Premier League campaign.
“I am delighted to announce that Denisov is the best player in Russia. He is a decent family man and I think he deserves this award.” The Russian Football president was quoted as saying.
There is little arguing that Denisov, who joined the St. Petersburg club in 2010 and went on to serve the Russian outfit till date, has impressed this season. The prolific midfielder has proved his critics wrong after Luciano Spalletti,
the Bomzhi manager, has given him more first team action this season.
The 28-year-old Russian defender, meanwhile, has made 41 league appearances for the Russian outfit, helping Zenit to retain their third league title since the inception of the Russian top division.
The Russian Cup winner has also impressed while playing in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 at Petrovsky stadium.
Denisov’s scintillating form has convinced the Russian national team manager, d**k Advocaat, to include him in his final 23-man squad for the upcoming European tournament, Euro 2012.
Commenting on the continental tournament, Fursenko has urged the Russian national team to win the Euros, insisting that Russia have decent players who can decide the fate of the match on their own.
Fursenko is of the belief that the Russian national team has a decent coach, insisting that Advocaat, who will resign as Russia boss to take charge at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
Russia have been drawn against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 respectively. Fursenko has conceded that Russia are the favourites to progress from the group stage despite of the fact that they have been tied against stern oppositions.
“We want to take a step forward. We will still fight to win Euro 2012 and then we will see how the result will turn out. We have set the goal of winning the Euro at the moment.” Fursenko said.
