"It was extremely difficult for Dinamo to keep its place in Premier Liga last year," said Stepashin to Sport Express.

"Last season was very interesting as rivalry among the clubs turned to be very fierce."

"CSKA and Spartak began to revive their former glory."

"At the same time I felt pity for Zenit as they failed the end of the season."

"Moreover their forward Alexandr Kerzhakov moved to Sevilla which is also a sign that not everything goes so well in the team."

"He wanted to move to Spain and confirmed his desire more than once but it wasn't right that he wasn't given an opportunity to play in Zenit and had to sit on the bench for a half a year."

"Managers can't keep such player in reserve hiding their talents and recent game between Russia and Estonia when Kerzhakov scored twice has proved it."

"I had different impressions of Russia national team performance but its battles in Macedonia and Estonia have shown that the team has great opportunities for future growth."

"The main thing is that our internationals began to show good level of football so now we can't be ashamed of their play."

"I'm sure that having such players we can seal an away victory in Croatia."

"To my point of view Guus Hiddink is a manager of high world level and he can lead the team to achieving positive results."
