Russian halfback impressed with his performance in the
previous games against Sweden and the Netherlands, so his slight injury
causes some concern ahead of tonight rematch against Spain.
"Fortunately, everything is ok now and I hope to join my partners
on evening training session today", said Saenko to Sport Express.
"I will return to full fitness by the match. I missed the opening
game of the tournament and then managed to prove my worth to the coaches
and supporters."
"When I was sitting on the bench, I was waiting for my chance and
did everything to approach it."
"I was ready to come up to the pitch anytime as well as other substitutes."
"Russia showed good football against Greece and managed to improve
it in the next game. We were sure in ourselves ahead of quarterfinal clash
against Holland as we knew we would be able to develop our football."
"Many people think that we are desperate to take revenge on the Spaniards
for our loss at group stage, but it's not true."
"Tonight game will require maximal concentration from us, so all
our thoughts concern the ways to achieve positive result in semifinal
game."
