Zenit goalkeeper has wonderful chances to become one of Russia key players in today match against Croatia.

"After Igor Akinfeev injury I knew that my chances to take my place in the Russia's goal have grown enormously", said Malafeev to Sport Express.

"I missed two games through suspension however then I made an appearance for Zenit in the match against CSKA."

"I gave 100% during the trainings so I am in perfect form now."

"When you constantly play for your team it helps you keep your form."

"From the other hand due this break I had enough time to rest."

"Croatia are one of the strongest teams in Europe."

"They are well balanced and perfectly organized."

"Today match will be tough for both Russia and Croatia."

"They play at home and their supporters will wait attacking football from the players."

"That is why everything will depend on our defense."

"I don't think there will be many problems with defenders as we know each other well."

"We need to win this game but the draw is also an acceptable result."

"But Russian players will think only about gaining three points which would strengthen our hopes to make Euro-2008."
