Gabulov lamented Yuri Zhirkov’s absence and urged Samuel Eto’o to score
at Luzhniki stadium, ahead of the upcoming Russian Premier League tie against Spartak Moscow.
Anzhi Makhachkala goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vladimir-Gabulov-c36341, has urged his teammates to win the upcoming Russian Premier League tie against Spartak Moscow at Luzhniki stadium if they are to retain any hopes of playing in Europe next season.
The star studded squad travels to Moscow on the back of a 1-0 defeat against Dynamo Moscow at Makhachkala stadium. With five league games left to play, they are at the seventh spot on the league table.
As things stand, Anzhi are just 4 points behind the fifth-spot and they need to overcome a four-point deficit. Gabulov warned Anzhi against dropping anymore points against the Red-whites.
The last time these two sides met in a league competition, the Spartachi got away with a point after drawing the crunch league tie 0-0 at Dagestan. Gabulov admitted that Anzhi need to climb up the league table after winning the
remaining matches of the third league round.
Going into the tie, Anzhi will be without the services of injured Joao Carlos and suspended http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683. Gabulov revealed that Anzhi will struggle without Zhirkov, who has been like a brick wall in defence.
He praised Zhirkov, who returned to the Russian top division from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 during the winter transfer window, admitting that the Russian stopper is accustomed to performing in big matches.
“We are disappointed with the latest defeat but we can change the situation by winning the upcoming match against Spartak. It’s a very important game. Spartak are a great club with a rich history but we will try to show them what
we have got.
“Yuri plays an important role in our team so we will be a little weak without him. We need to regain the confidence and start winning.” The former CSKA Moscow player was quoted as saying.
Speaking on misfiring Cameroonian striker, Samuel Eto’o, Gabulov urged the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan striker to rediscover his old form by scoring against the Myaso.
