Zenit St. Petersburg striker, Aleksandr Kerzhakov, has denied any media reports suggesting he envies new signings, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029, at the St. Petersburg club.
The 29-year-old revealed that he applies a strictly professional behaviour whenever he goes to the training ground, denying the claims that he does not like the mega million buys this summer.
News in Russian media emerged after Kerzhakov backed Igor Denisov to claim more salaries from the management seeing the club paying overwhelming wages to their latest acquisitions.
Denisov, in turn, was penalized to train with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 after displaying a questionable and unprofessional behaviour. However, Kerzhakov escaped any penalty after apologizing to the club’s management earlier.
“We have a professional relationship but all the talk that we do not see each other on the field is not true.”
“The situation with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694, of course, affected the entire team. I read negative remarks about him in the papers. In principle, all the events in the team, one way or another, are related but I can tell that there was no
conspiracy behind his motive.”
“I can say that I have always supported Igor and I will continue to support him but I have nothing to do with what happened between him and the club.” The former Dynamo Moscow forward was quoted as saying.
The reigning Russian Premier League champions will now travel to Brussels to participate in their fourth group stage match of the UEFA Champions League at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Wednesday.
The St. Petersburg club have no room for error, as they have claimed just three points out of the first three matches, when they face the Belgian champions if they are to reach the next round of the continental tournament.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti’s men, who recorded 1-0 win against Anderlecht last month, sit 3rd spot on their respective group table, just two points above the Purple and White in the standings.
Kerzhakov urged his side to return victorious from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850, admitting that the next match holds importance.
