Europa League 2010 2011 Zenit Twente

17 mars 2011 

Petrovski Stadion Saint Petersburg

Zenit need to overturn a three-goal deficit if they want to reach the Europa League quarter-finals. The 2008 UEFA Cup winners were clear favourites to progress from the last-16 tie before they were stunned by a 3-0 defeat in Enschede a fortnight ago. A Luuk de Jong double and a strike from Denny Landzaat gave the Russians a huge mountain to climb, but their Italian coach is convinced that his side can go through having performed a similar second-leg comeback against Young Boys Berne in the previous round.
Already 2-1 down after the first leg, Spalletti's men conceded an early goal in the return fixture before going through 4-3 on aggregate thanks to three goals in 35 minutes. Three strikes will only take Thursday's clash at the Petrovski to extra-time, but Spalletti thinks that display proves that his team have the strength of character to come back from behind and pull off another upset. "We were 1-0 after half an hour of the second leg against Young Boys. Then we needed to score three goals and tomorrow the situation will roughly be the same but we have 30 minutes more," the former Roma coach said in Russian newspaper Sport Express. "Tomorrow the guys will play to the limit out of respect for their fans and their city. "I know that in Russia's history, the country has had many heroes, good, brave, courageous people, and our players have the same qualities."
