Rubin Kazan boss Valeriy Chaly: 'We're better than Chelsea'

Rubin Kazan boss Valeriy Chaly has claimed that his team are "better" than Chelsea following their defeat to Liverpool in the Europa League.

The Russian outfit managed to claim a 1-1 draw against the Reds a fortnight ago, but they suffered a 1-0 loss to Jurgen Klopp's men on home turf last night.

Liverpool took on Kazan five days after they sealed a comfortable 3-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

"In the second half we looked more composed but we have a problem with the composition, so the young players had a chance," FourFourTwo quotes Chaly as saying.

"For them, it's an experience. Liverpool are a good team and showed that against Chelsea. So, we are still better than Chelsea."

Rubin have picked up just two points from their Europa League Group B matches.
