Euro2004 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yes Kerzhakov played poorly today. Russia on the other hand looked superb. They killed Italy 3-0 in a friend recently because the Azzurri played a 4-3-1-2 formation which left the fullback, Maggio and Balzaretti, exposed to runs down the wings. Russia are particularly good out wide because Zhirkov and Anyukov get forward and over-lap Arshavin and Dzagoev who drift inwards. Shirikov and Zyrianov control the game from midfield and they are a very dangerous outfit when in possession as a result. It was as if the Czechs didn't bother to watch Russia and to analyse their strenghts and weaknesses! They played an open game with the full backs, particularly Kadlec at left back, not holding his position. They were torn apart down that side as a result. So as good as Russia were, the Czechs also helped them with their terrible performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
