Georgi Yartsev, who was delighted to see the Russian national team’s third consecutive win in the qualifying matches of the World Cup, has hailed Fabio Capello’s men after they managed to defeat Portugal for the first time in their
history.
Russia recorded the win against the Navigators at Luzhniki stadium on the back of earlier wins against Northern Ireland and Israel respectively. As things stand, the Euro 2008 semi-finalist are at the top-spot on their respective
group table.
Yartsev, who was particularly proud of his national team as they managed to extend their lead to three points from second-placed Portuguese team, insisted that Russia are the favourites to reach the later stages of the tournament
after back-to-back impressive performances.
“Russia are the leader of the group and finally defeated the Portuguese, who had been a stumbling block for the team for years. In addition, the game showed that the team is able to win against big sides by following a game plan.”
The former Dynamo Moscow man was quoted as saying.
Yartsev credited the defensive side of the team, saying that they managed to retain one-goal lead until the final whistle of the match despite playing against a team who arguably has one of the best attacks in the world.
The Russian national praised Capello’s men for stopping the threat posed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 and backed them to find consistency in their performance.
