Igor Kolyvanov has ruled out the Italian outfit’s chance to progress from the UEFA Champions League group stages after selling star players this summer
The fact that Zenit St. Petersburg have been drawn against AC Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 and Malaga in the UEFA Champions League group stages excites Igor Kolyvanov, who has tipped the Russian outfit to reach the later stages of the
continental tournament.
The St. Petersburg club will kick start the European tournament after playing the opening group stage game against Malaga on 18th September before hosting the Milan-based club at Petrovsky stadium.
Kolyvanov has tipped Luciano Spalletti’s men to progress to the later stages of the tournament.
There is little arguing to the statement that the Serie A outfit made immense changes over the course of the last few years. Senior players have bid farewell to their beloved team after seeing a host of managerial changes at the
San Siro.
“This is not the Milan, which was in the 90's and the early 2000's. Moreover, recently the red and black have sold their best players. In short, now they cannot be put on a par with top clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester United
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078." The former Dynamo Moscow striker was quoted as saying.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Filippo-Inzaghi-c13777 left the Italian giants after finding themselves surplus to requirements at San Siro under new head coach, Massimiliano Allegri.
The Red and black, meanwhile, sold http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 to the ambitious French outfit, Paris Saint-Germain, earlier this month. Les Parisiens reportedly paid 70 million Euros transfer fee for the star duo to the
Milan-based club.
Besides letting their star players leave Milan this summer, the Italian giants have reinvested some money to sign noticeable replacements this summer.
The 18 time Serie A winner's managed to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, Fiorentina and Chievo.
