Former Hamburger SV midfielder Ze Roberto ties knots with Al-Gharafa – Bundesliga news
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamburger-SV-c39485 midfielder, Ze Roberto, has tied knots with a Qatar-based outfit, Al-Gharafa, during the ongoing summer transfer window. The player had expressed desire to leave Hamburg at the conclusion of the 2010/11 season but was looking for the
right option, where he could see a bright future for himself.
Al-Gharafa came up with an offer which was promptly accepted by the player. Hamburg were also forced to oblige as the Brazilian had already declined a one-year contract extension offer.
Ze Roberto spent two years with Hamburg but went out of favour last season. With the club focusing on the younger lot of players, the Brazilian was made to sit on the bench, leaving the player frustration and forcing him into making this departure decision.
The club on the other hand looked interested in retaining the experienced campaigner but Roberto had other ideas in his mind.
The 37-year-old told that he had an outstanding time at Imtech Arena and certainly won’t forget the support and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Love-c22466 he received from the Hamburg fans during his two-year stay. He reckoned that it was the best time to leave the club as many talented youngsters
were knocking on the first team door and they certainly deserve a chance in the starting XI.
The Brazilian also believed that Hamburg have spent wisely during the summer and stand a much better chance of providing a title challenge to the likes of Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

for his future with the new club.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid man joined Hamburg in 2009 and racked up 54 league appearances during his two-year stay. He also bagged seven goals in return. The 37-year-old made his Brazilian debut in 1995 and managed to register 84 caps under during his 12-year
international career.
