Anzhi Makhachkala’s latest recruit, Christopher Samba, has revealed the reason behind his move to the Makhachkala-based club by admitting that he always wanted to fight for silverware.
The Congolese footballer spent five seasons at Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 before making a 12 million Euros move to the Dagestani club during the winter transfer window. Samba admitted that he left Ewood Park to join the ambitious Russian
club, as they have an owner with a winning mentality.
Suleyman Kerimov has benefited Anzhi by providing them handsome transfer budgets during the last two transfer windows. Consequently, Anzhi have signed the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683 and Balazs Dzsudzsak.
Better still, Anzhi have persuaded the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager, Guus Hiddink, to join the ambitious side last month. The Dutch tactician has kick-started the Russian Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win against third-placed Dynamo
Moscow.
Samba went on to express his delight over the latest result at Arena Khimki and urged his teammates to win the remaining matches if they are to claim a European spot during the ongoing league campaign.
The Congolese stopper went on to reveal that he chose Anzhi ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal for his move.
“Anzhi came to me and showed their firm interest - they made it clear that they wanted me badly. Given that good players are coming to the club, and they have acquired a fabulous new coach, I selected the most attractive option,
Anzhi.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hertha-BSC-c39521 player was quoted as saying.
Speaking on the difference between English Premier League and the Russian Premier League, he said: “The game is much more intense in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991, they play a bit more technical with more control
of the ball, so I like it.
