SHISHKIN CAN MAKE RUSSIAN DEBUT
Spartak defender Roman Shishkin can make his debut for Russian national
team.
Shishkin was already invited to Russia squad last year when
they played Macedonia.
However he didn't appear on the field and stayed in reserve but now situation
is complicated by shortage of defenders who are injured.
So Shishkin stands good chances to make his debut in national team.
"I knew that Kolodin was injured on Sunday," said Shishkin to
Sport Express.
"I was very surprised to find out that Sport Express included me
into preliminary line-up."
"Unexpectedly almost all leading players got injured."
"I already dispose myself to play against Estonia on Saturday."
"If managers trust me I will try to show my best and prove my necessity
to Russian team."
"I never played for the first team and it's a good chance to prove
myself."
"It would be very interesting to meet my friends who play for Estonia."
"Guus Hiddink uses the formation with three defenders and it is familiar
to me."
"Under Sabitov I played right defender and I looked quite well."
"Spartak also used such formation during the First Channel tournament."
"The key feature is strict play in defense and rare attacks."
"I played with Oper in Torpedo, Tarmo kink is my close friend since
playing for spartak reserve team."
