St. Petersburg “Zenith” has won in the second round of the Champions League over the Belgian “Ghent” and continues single-handedly led his group. After the match, the coaches and the players shared the fresh impressions of what happened on the field.
– We had a fantastic match, fully deserved to win, we had a lot of chances. No problems there. Anyukov cool closed a position at left-back, we can only thank him. Criscito did an MRI, he was suspected broken leg, but it was not confirmed. However, while he can not even wear shoes on the leg – said after the match, head coach of the “Zenith” Andre Villas-Boas.
– I replaced Dziuba not in order to keep it fresh for the game with the “Rostov”. Yusupov went to saturate the middle of the field. It looks like a sprained ankle Lombaerts. At least, he stayed with us on the bench and watched the game. We hope that nothing serious happened, but certainly we will know later.
While it is difficult to talk about the prospects ahead of four matches. We are waiting for the game with the “Lion”, after which it would be great to score nine points. I do not think that this is impossible, we will try. If you manage to win the next game, we will have a very good position in the group, – summed mentor blue-white-blue.
He told the Portuguese expert and replaced at the last line of Yuri Lodygina Mikhail Kerzhakov.
– Replacement of the goalkeeper – it is a decision for the benefit of the team. Jura Lodygin – our number one goalkeeper. We believe that he will be able to overcome the recession and return to the previous level.
The very Kerzhakov, who has spent even a match, almost had no work and missed only once, when the rescue team is only possible with a large fortune, appeared in the mixed zone tired.
– I feel emptiness. When you play in the evening, then a long wait for the match, and it consumed the internal forces. I wake up tomorrow and realize everything. Moments at the gate almost was not. One blow – one goal. I am glad that we won, but somehow evaluate their game can not.
– today received a very strong win rival. We need to continue in the same spirit and beat the “Lion”. Six points after two matches – the best for the “Zenith” result – said after the game captain of the Russian team of Danny.
– Felt today a special responsibility, as Kerzhakov took place at the gate?
– No, as in “Zenith” collected different goalkeepers – Kerzhakov and Malafeev Lodygin. Today, the coach made his choice in favor of Kerzhakov, and he proved his level.
– I am very grateful that I was recognized as the best player of the match. Thank god for that. The result was a very difficult match, but in the Champions League for another does not happen, – said the scoring pass to make two Brazilian Hulk.
– Two victories at the start – a good indicator, but in no case can not slow down the speed. We must continue to work hard, otherwise the results quickly come to naught.
One of the main speakers at the St. peterburgtsev already emerging tradition was striker Artem Dzyuba, after the premiere assists in the main European Cup in the first round, scored his first career goal ligochempionsky.
– Dreams Come True. Cool, of course, to score. My first goal in the Champions League group stage. Cool atmosphere, terrific match. On paper, like “Gent” weak, but good-quality team that holds the ball well. We have given ourselves a bit of initiative, this was a plan to move – Dziuba said.
– The Belgians central midfielders give good diagonal, we played compactly without breaks, and the strategy played, we closed the facility. They possessed the ball, but mostly in their half of the pitch. And we ran out – and the danger was constant.
– Six points – a good start to leave the group, taking into account the fact that the “Valencia” beat “Lyon»?
– Yes, I think, touched good, but nothing has been done. “Lion” is now coming to us like a wounded animal, which has nothing to lose. Any our defeat will lead to the fact that competitors will catch up with us. At the moment, we have completed 30 percent of a hundred. We need twice beat “Lion”, and then the job is done.
Unable to forward the patient to bypass and “Zenith” in the recent topic goalkeeper. While appreciating the game, Mikhail Kerzhakov, Dziuba said words of support and naoshibavshegosya and fallen into disgrace Yuri Lodygina.
– It would be ugly in relation to Lodygin say that we felt something. I believe that we have a team of three equal goalkeeper. There are Malafeev, who, I think, proved everything to everyone.
I can only be happy for Michael, who confidently without a nervous trembling, held its first game in the Champions League. It says that he is very strong mentally. We are all happy for him – together won. In the Jura, too, no doubt – it is highly goalkeeper of Russia. I think it will only work harder and win a place in the lineup.
