The Portuguese defender believes that he must perform to get more playing time on the pitch, and has highlighted Zenit a better team as compared to Anzhi and CSKA Moscow
Zenit St. Petersburg defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Alves-c8108, has admitted that he will try to fit in any role being provided to him by their trusted head coach, Luciano Spalletti, in a bid to fight for a starting place in the team.
The Portuguese stopper has made just 11 appearances since the start of the ongoing league campaign after falling down the pecking order behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicolas-Lombaerts-c27825 and Tomas Hubocan.
Spalletti played Alves out of his original centre-back position a couple of times during the ongoing campaign in the absence of Domenico Criscito and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Anyukov-c4549 due to respective injuries.
And now that the arrival of Aleksandr Lukovic after recovering from a shoulder injury has limited his chances on the pitch, Alves believes that the time has come when he needs to reinvent his game.
“I do not know about my future because all my life I have played as a central defender but I am not in a position to make arguments. I'm ready to play in any position which the coach wants because I just want to play.” The Russian
Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Reports in Russian media suggested that Spalletti may sell the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 player during the upcoming January transfer window should he get any decent offer for the 31-year-old defender.
If speculations are to be believed, Zenit have reportedly made an initial offer of 6.6 million Euros for Fotbal Club Steaua București defender, Vlad Chiricheș.
If the Romanian outfit will let the 23-year-old leave this winter, it will be the most expensive export product in their entire history, surpassing the record of Mirel Rădoi whom they sold to Al-Hilal for € 6 million.
Speaking on their ongoing league campaign, Alves assured the fans of surpassing the likes of Anzhi Makhachkala and CSKA Moscow in the standings, telling them that they would not let these two clubs stop them in their quest to lift
the league trophy.
