Luciano Spalletti has hailed the team's 2-1 win in the Russian Premier League against Rostov and has hinted at giving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694 more chances
Zenit St. Petersburg moved to the top-spot on the Russian Premier League table after defeating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 at Petrovsky stadium on Friday.
However, Anzhi Makhachkala can reclaim the leading spot on the league table if they managed to win their next league tie against Terek Grozny at Dynamo stadium (Makhachkala) on Saturday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Holenda-c17764 cancelled out
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vladimir-c36322 Bystrov’s opener.
In aftermath of the outcome, Luciano Spalletti has expressed his satisfaction upon their latest win, saying that they recovered well in time to score the winner after conceding a late equalizer.
“We started the game with little confidence after failing to take our chances in the final third. But the team managed to play better later in the game. I think that in the second half we worked really good and managed to get the
ball.”
“The moment when the opponent equalized, we find it difficult to get the winner. But we do not lose hope and got the response late in the game. Our only goal was to win and we did that. The guys have been rewarded for demonstrating
better attitude and mentality.” The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 man was quoted as saying.
Apart from the Russian outfit’s win, Spalletti believes that there were a lot of positives to take from the game, with Danny Miguel and Igor Denisov making a swift return after months of absence.
Danny has not played a competitive game since November last year after sustaining a knee injury while Denisov was called into action after the club accepted his apology following misconduct.
The 28-year-old was penalized by the manager to train with the first-team as he threatened the St. Petersburg club to increase his salary.
Spalletti revealed that he happy with the player’s return as he need a full-fledge squad to help the club in the domestic and European front this season.
