Welliton believes Spartak Moscow deserved more against Zenit St. Petersburg: Russian Premier League
Spartak Moscow striker Welliton marked his return from a suspension in the latest Russian Premier League encounter, against the league leaders, Zenit St. Petersburg. The Brazilian national has expressed his thoughts after the mouthwatering clash at Luzhniki
stadium.
The Brazilian forward was not involved from the start but came on in the second half to score an equalizer. Welliton highlighted that he is enjoying top form at the moment. There is little arguing that statement as he has scored eight goals already this
season.
“Our team attacked Zenit, the entire match and created good chances. We interacted well, but could achieve only a draw. Well, this is an acceptable result, although we deserved more. I wanted to start the match but was not picked up by the manager. I went
out in the second half and contributed.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Goiás-c39434 Esporte Clube player was quoted as saying.
The 24-year-old served a six-match ban imposed by the Russian Football Union (RFU) after fouling CSKA Moscow goal keeper, Igor Malafeev.

“I think all the goalkeepers try to pretend that I played against them roughly but it does not matter unless the match official sees a violation.” The Brazilian striker told in his post match press conference.
Lokomotiv Moscow head coach, Jose Couceiro, was of the view that Zenit are the best club in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 at the moment.
The Brazilian striker went onto deny that the Meshki are invincible and urged his teammates to work harder in order to stay alive in the Russian Premier League title race.
The Red-whites are trailing the second placed CSKA by just five points and the league leaders with seven.
Welliton revealed that he is improving with every single game and highlighted his desire to win all the remaining matches of the season. The Moscow-based club take on Rubin Kazan in the upcoming league meeting at Tsentralnyi Stadium.
