WARSAW: Alan Dzagoev underlined he is the player to watch for Russia after scoring his third goal of the tournament in the 1-1 draw with Poland in another performance to alert Europe’s top clubs. But the 21-year-old attacking midfielder’s goal and all-round display was not enough to get the man-of-the-match award as he did after his two goals in the 4-1 defeat of the Czech Republic. Dzagoev proved an elusive opponent for the Poles in Warsaw’s National Stadium, often making well-timed runs from midfield into the opponent’s penalty area as Russia showed yet again they could be a force at the tournament with their attacking quality. The draw against the Poles meant another point against Greece in Warsaw will ensure a place in the quarter-finals. “We should have made sure of the quarter-finals. Now we will have to beat Greece,” he said after the draw with Poland. The statistics agaisnt Poles show Dzagoev’s efficiency: seven incisive runs and deliveries and, as in the first game, he was accurate with his efforts on goal, hitting the target with each of his three shots. One blemish was a yellow card for complaining too vehemently when a foul was not given. Dzagoev says he is open to a move abroad — he has been quoted as favouring Chelsea — but now he is focusing fully on Euro. Dzagoev almost missed out on the tournament after fracturing a toe playing for CSKA in late March but recovered quickly and was put straight back in the side by coach Dick Advocaat for a 3-0 friendly victory over Italy before the tournament.— Agencies
