AKINFEEV SURE OF SUCCESS
Russian national team goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev speaks on Euro-2008 qualifier
against Estonia.
"Unexpected loss of leading defenders is not a serious
problem for Russia," said Akinfeev to Sport Express.
"In CSKA and in national team we had similar situations when two
or even three leading defenders were missing."
"Those players who are invited to the Russia squad will surely solve
their task."
"Everybody clearly understands the importance of this game and I'm
sure they won't let down."
"I also would like to hope that I won't have much work in Tallinn
however I know that it's impossible."
"Final outcome is hard to predict and I can't say anything beforehand."
"I don't know whether we'll be able to defeat Estonia but surely
they will cause us lots of problems."
"We had an opportunity to make certain in their capabilities two
years ago in World cup qualifiers."
"We don't need to score as much as possible and 1-0 will be acceptable
result for us."
"Last time when we met with Estonia everything went quite well however
they had several good moments to score."
"They managed to score only due to accident and now it also can be
the obstacle to our future success."
"I have no doubts that we must overcome Estonia and to do it we must
realize our opportunities in attack and concentrate on defense."
"So now everything is in our own hands."
