Unai Emery has urged his side to win the upcoming Russian Premier League tie prior to their much awaited UEFA Champions League match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078
Spartak Moscow head coach, Unai Emery, believes that a win in the upcoming important Russian Premier League clash against Kuban Krasnodar may well put them back on track after a series of disappointing league results.
The Moscow-based club suffered back-to-back defeats against Terek Grozny and Lokomotiv Moscow prior to their 5-0 thrashing by the defending league champions, Zenit St. Petersburg, at Petrovsky stadium.
However, the Spanish tactician still believes that his side is capable of meeting fans expectations and proving their critics wrong after winning the much anticipated match that may well describe their season.
Emery, who filled the vacant managerial position at the Moscow-based club after putting an end to Valery Karpin’s three years coaching regime at Luzhniki stadium, revealed that he is expecting his side to bounce back after the
recent losses.
“This is a very important match. Perhaps we can call it the most important match for us at the moment.”
“Kuban are a very difficult opponent, who are competing for a place at the top of the table. We have to be fully concentrated to outperform the opponent.”
“In the last match, we did not play to our potential, not for the entire 90 minutes.” The former Valencia coach was quoted as saying.
Kuban managed to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863, AS Monaco, Osasuna and Ajax Amsterdam during the summer transfer window.
Emery admitted that the Cossacks have signed talented players to achieve their goals this season.
The Spartachi have been drawn against FC Barcelona, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 and Scottish side Celtic in the Champions League’s group stages this term. Emery revealed that they do not fear the Catalans on their way to the later stages of the
European tournament.
“Barcelona are the clear favourites to progress from group stages but we have a decent squad, which is capable of causing trouble to the best teams in the tournament.” He concluded.
