The Brazilian Striker has urged his side to steal the Russian Premier League title under the noses of CSKA Moscow and has assured the fans of taking care of his fitness
Zenit St. Petersburg striker, Hulk, has motivated his side to win the remaining games of the ongoing Russian Premier League campaign if they are to steal the league title under the noses of CSKA Moscow this season.
The Moscow-based club had a swift seven point lead until the 23rd round of the domestic championship. However, they failed to take the pressure and dropped four points in the next two league fixtures against Dynamo Moscow
and Spartak Moscow respectively.
The St. Petersburg club, on the other hand, took this opportunity to close down the gap from the top of the table with both hands after winning their last two league matches against Lokomotiv Moscow and FC Krasnodar respectively.
As things stand, the Armeytsy are at the top of the league table with 57 points and leading http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti’s men by four points. And with just five league meetings remaining, Hulk is of the belief that Zenit still have time
to leapfrog the Moscow-based club just like last season.
The Brazilian International, who joined Zenit from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 for a record breaking 60 million Euro last year, is currently on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury.
“I am doing everything possible to quickly recover and get back on the field. Fortunately, I cannot help my team at the moment. I can tell you that I have always recovered quicker in the past. I hope to join the team as early as
next weekend.”
“I have no doubt that my team-mates are capable of winning without me. I have confidence in them. I hope that I will be in the ranks very soon. We need to catch up with CSKA. Championship is our main goal right now.” Hulk was quoted
as saying.
The Meshki came from behind last year after leapfrogging CSKA in the last round of the Russian championship. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 assured the fans of a similar display to retain the league title this season.
