Vladislav Radimov has warned Luciano Spalletti on playing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 together in attack, saying that they do not share common ground
Zenit St. Petersburg looks set to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 in the upcoming UEFA Champions League’s group stage match at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Wednesday three days after their 2-1 win in the Russian Premier League against
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 at Petrovsky stadium.
And while the St. Petersburg club looking in good form after extending their winning run to six games including their earlier win in the European tournament against the Belgian league champions, Vladislav Radimov has predicted
a win for Luciano Spalletti’s men.
With both teams struggling to get into the later stages of the competition after losing points earlier in the tournament, Radimov believes that the two teams will fight for all three points.
As things stand, Zenit are resting on the 3rd spot on their respective group table with three points while the Purple and White are at the bottom spot.
“I think Anderlecht will not play at home as they played at Petrovsky. They have noted the opposition in the first meeting. They know that a draw will not put them in the next round. I think there will be a lot of goals scored
in the fixture and I hope that Zenit will score more.” The Cope del Rey winner was quoted as saying.
Aleksandr Kerzhakov is expected to lead the attack as Hulk picked up a knock in Zenit’s 2-1 win against the Selmashi on Friday. Hulk will undergo a scan later today with reports in Russian media suggest him to stay on the sidelines
until next year with a hamstring injury.
Radimov lamented the absence of the mercurial forward, saying that the Russian outfit will certainly miss the experienced player in the upcoming matches.
“I think, there’s nothing common in the two strikers as they do not complement each other on the pitch. God forbid, if I am wrong.” he concluded.
The assistant manager went on to admit that Spalletti have a decent squad at his disposal so there will not be any problem in playing a worthy replacement.
