Luciano Spalletti believes that Terek Grozny deserve their place on the Russian Premier League table and has declared AC Milan as the strongest opponents in group C
Zenit St. Petersburg head coach, Luciano Spalletti, has insisted that the significant increase in the level of Russian football has persuaded famous football players to come to the Russian Premier League over the past few years.
The fact that players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 all preferred to join Russian outfits after snubbing famous and credible suitors in Europe tells the whole story of the increasing viewership of the
Russian championship across the world.
Meanwhile, players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diniyar-Bilyaletdinov-c11318 returned to Russia from a much bigger yet famous and coveted league i.e. English Premier League.
Zenit and CSKA Moscow, the top two seeds in the Russian top division, have helped the cause by making European accomplishments in the past. Both teams managed to win UEFA Cup back in 2005 and 2008 respectively.
“I think that in recent years the level of Russian football has very much increased. You can judge the level of the Russian championship by knowing that there are a maximum of five to seven teams that fight for the league title
every season.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Spalletti is of the view that the Chechens deserve a place at the top of the league table, crediting Stanislav Cherchesov to strengthen his side by signing talented and experienced players.
Commenting on their group rivals, AC Milan, in the Champions League, the Italian tactician declared them as clear favourites to progress from the group stages despite losing out key players this summer.
