Now that the Brazilian striker has left the Moscow-based club to join http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Flamengo-c39361, Aldonin appreciates his contributions down the years
CSKA Moscow striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vagner-c35793 Love, has officially completed his move to Flamengo, after weeks of negotiations with the Brazilian outfit.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Evgeni-Aldonin-c13028 has praised his former teammate’s contributions during his stay with the Russian outfit.
“We must thank Love for all good performances he made for this club, and wish him success.” Aldonin was quoted as saying.
Though the Armeytsy were not keen to offload their prized asset during this transfer window, they accepted Flamengo’s reported 8 million Euros offer, after turning down their initial offer.
Although CSKA tried to block his move, they were left helpless as the player himself wanted to depart in the ongoing transfer window.
Love, who joined the Moscow-based club from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Palmeiras-c40165 back in 2004, made himself a key member of the squad within no time, becoming a fan favourite after his debut Russian Premier League campaign.
He was regarded as a big match player, having scored in the Russian Cup final against Amkar Perm back in 2007/08 and helping the Koni win their first ever UEFA Cup final by scoring the last goal of the match against Sporting Lisbon
back in the 2004/05 final.
His rich form saw him score 79 goals in 158 outings, during his stay with the Russian outfit.
And while Aldonin laments Love’s departure, having rated him amongst the best strikers and admitting to the difficulty playing in the UEFA Champions League without the veteran striker, he remains confident that CSKA have immense
talent in the ranks.
“Doumbia is our main hope but we have just signed some quality players, Wernbloom and Ahmed Musa.” The former Rotor Volgograd player said.
The Russian Super Cup winner assured the fans of good third league round performances and revealed that they still have enough firepower upfront, identifying the in-form striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Doumbia-c33175.
