SEMAK: WOLFSBURG WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT

Captain of the Russian champions Rubin Sergey Semak believes that the next stage of Europa League campaign will be more difficult for his team.


"Our return game was difficult, but results satisfied us", Semak told Sport Express after Kazan club left behind Hapoel Tel-Aviv. "Both teams had opportunities to score and win".

"Result of the first game didn’t let us play at our maximum and we didn’t learn to win thanks to our high class. The team will learn it when we are experienced enough".

"It’s hard to say why the second match ended in a goalless draw, because we created perfect scoring opportunities, especially Alexandr Bukharov. Maybe weather was not fine or maybe it was not our lucky day".

"Of course the eightfinal will be more difficult. Hapoel is good team, but level of German Bundesleague is not comparable to Israeli championship".

"Wolfsburg played against CSKA in the Champions League, so we are aware of level of this club. Unfortunately, we will have to fight with Germany strict discipline and power".

"It is unpleasant factor for Rubin, but we will try to play successfully".

GINER: “AUTUMN-SPRING” SYSTEM WOULD BE BETTER

CSKA president Evgeniy Giner believes that “autumn-spring” system of the Russian championship would help the clubs prepare for European competitions better.


"It was normal match, though we made mistakes, because it was our first match of the season", said Giner. "I want to repeat that if our championship is held according to “autumn-spring” system, we would have played two or three matches of domestic season and come to the Champions League play offs well prepared. We saw how the team caught the playing rhythm during the match and looked more self-confident in the second half of the game".

"Players had no problems with their physical form. They played 90 minutes of very tough game and we have no claims to them".

"I am not disappointed by the result, I think that we still stand good chances of progress and everything will be decided in Sevilla".

"Of course players understand that it would have been better to win and they had perfect chances to do it, but there is nothing bad in this draw. It will be necessary to score in away clash and in this case we would be able to advance to the next stage of competition".

IZMAILOV: I DON’T HAVE A CONTRACT YET

Europa League tonight match against Everton could become the last one for Russian midfielder Marat Izmailov in Sporting uniform, as he is likely to move to Lokomotiv.


"To my mind we stand good chances to go past Everton following away 1:2 defeat", said Izmailov. "We reached acceptable result in Liverpool when we scored a valuable away goal. In any case my partners and I believe in our overall success".

"We didn’t demonstrate our maximum in recent matches, and we know that we can play even better. Everton is a good team, but at the same time I cannot say that they surprised me".

"Now I train and prepare for the game against Everton and I don’t contact anybody concerning my possible switch to Lokomotiv. So far as I know the clubs have already come to an agreement and completed the deal. However I don’t have a contract yet".
