Hamburg SV manager Michael Oenning has hailed the club’s new signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Slobodan-Rajkovic-c33708. He claimed that the Serbian international could be the solution to the problems the club has had in the heart of defence since the start of the season.
Rajkovic joined Hamburg this week for an undisclosed fee after having problems attaining a work permit and was snapped up by former Chelsea Sporting Director Frank Arnesen to add to the list of the former Blues contingent.
The tall central defender will provide competition to former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Mancienne-c25332 in the heart of defence.
Oenning heaped praise on the defender and insisted that the player will be able to add a lot of quality in the defence area. The manager added that the Serbian has the ability to win tackles in the box and will be a handy signing surely.
“He's an unpleasant opponent who knows when to get stuck in. He's someone who spreads fear. He brings qualities that we may have been lacking in the squad, but no doubt need,” Oenning was quoted as saying.

Arnesen claimed that the team needs some time to settle in as there are a lot of new players in the squad.
“You can't expect them to immediately become top performers. I trust http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Oenning. I've always said that and I'll keep on saying it,” he added.
Midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Jarolim was disappointed with his side’s performance against Bayern Munich and admitted that there could have been more goals.
“You can't go losing to Bayern by that many, but they had so many chances. We were too scared, but I don't know why. We won't beat anyone like that,” the Czech international added.
Hamburg SV will take on FC Koln next in the Bundesliga on Saturday, August 26, at the Imtech Arena in Hamburg.
