Aleksandr Tarkhanov has given a frank assessment of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League round-of-16 tie between Zenit St. Petersburg and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC at Petrovsky stadium
Former FC Khimki coach, Aleksandr Tarkhanov, believes that the nail-biting UEFA Europa League encounter between Zenit St. Petersburg and Liverpool FC would be decided by goals from either Hulk or Luis Suarez.
"In my opinion, Hulk and Luis Suarez are players of the same level. The Uruguayan has become an important part of the club in a short period. He is a great striker of the ball.”
“Hulk is stronger than Suarez. Both players know how to deal with the defender one to one and can shoot from long distance.” The former CSKA Moscow man was quoted as saying.
There is little arguing to the statement that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 for a record 60 million Euro fee, is yet to find his lethal form that
made him famous at Estadio do Dragão.
The Brazilian International has managed to find the back of the net only thrice this season including a wonder striker in the UEFA Champions League’s group stage tie against AC Milan at home.
It looks like that the former Tokyo Verdy player is not happy at the Russian outfit after publically expressing a desire to leave Zenit barely after three months since moving to the St. Petersburg club following a potential bust-up
with the coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti.
Suarez, on the other hand, arguably is in form of his life. The Uruguayan International has scored in every competition this season and his performances in the European tournament are there for everyone to see.
The former Ajax Amsterdam player, who moved to Anfield for reportedly 22 million Euros last year, has made a big impression since moving to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. The 24-year-old has already 17 league goals this season.
However, he failed to score in the last three European outings against Anzhi Makhachkala, Udinese and Young Boys respectively.
Going into the much anticipated European fixture, Liverpool will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Konstantin-Zyryanov-c21312.
