http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 welcomes Arshavin back to Zenit and hails Denisov’s replacement Tymoshchuk – Football news
Zenit St. Petersburg attacking midfielder, Danny Miguel, has welcomed the prospect of playing alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694.
“I think he is a great player. Everyone knows who he is and how much he is loved here. He is returning to help us win the championship and Russian Super Cup. I will be very proud that I will once again be able to play with him. The last time we played together
for so long, only six months before he left for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. So, I'm looking forward to seeing him. Am I afraid of competition? No not at all. Zenit is a great team with a lot of good players. I am extremely pleased to train with Arshavin,” the former Sporting
Lisbon player was quoted as saying.
Arshavin is set to make an emotional return to Petrovsky stadium four years after leaving the St. Petersburg club for Arsenal. Though the 32-year-old enjoyed a decent spell at Emirates stadium first season, injuries limited him to perform at a similar level
in the following seasons.
The Russian attacker will not return to Zenit as a free agent given that the English Premier League club did not offer him a new contract despite knowing that the player’s contract will expire at the start of next month.
Danny, who joined Zenit for a record breaking 30 million Euro transfer fee from Dynamo Moscow, said that he is not afraid of competition for places in the team despite the possible arrival of Arshavin.
The Portuguese attacker revealed that he is happy to know http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti is assembling a squad with players that have the right skill set and mentality level following a disastrous season in which they failed to win silverware unlike the last two seasons.
The fact that Zenit managed to sign Anatoliy Tymoshchuk from Bayern Munich earlier this month gives Danny every reason to cheer, who congratulated the entire club for signing potential replacement for Denisov.
Tymoshchuk, who was an unused substitute during the Munich-based club’s historic 2-1 win in the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at New Wembley Stadium, returned to Zenit after four long years.
