Roman Pavlyuchenko in bid to keep Guus in place
Tom Collomosse31.03.09
Roman Pavlyuchenko believes Russia can take a big step towards ensuring Guus Hiddink stays on as full-time coach if they win convincingly in Liechtenstein.
Speculation that Chelsea caretaker boss Hiddink could yet engineer a way of staying at Stamford Bridge beyond his planned summer exit has still not gone away, and Pavlyuchenko and his Russia team-mates are desperate to qualify for the World Cup in order to keep their boss.
Russia are four points behind Group Four leaders Germany, but with a game in hand and the Spurs striker said: "First, we need to prove to Guus that we are a good team, and the way we can do that is by winning our next few matches.
"It depends only on us. I have not been playing recently for my club, so I have so much energy and I shall fight for the cause."
