Lovchev tips Denisov to return to Zenit St. Petersburg one day just like Arshavin – Football News
Evgeny Lovchev has told http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771.
“Denisov got what he wanted: his freedom and a new contract with monitory benefits. It is a pity that it happened. I am sorry that the club could not build a normal relationship with their players. His arrival to Anzhi was not
the only solution to the problem. I think he will think about this decision for years to come. He will be in a different position in his new team. Everyone is saying that Zenit failed to keep hold of the player after conflicts and controversies but I think
Zenit should have asked for more money,” the Soviet Top League winner was quoted as saying.
Arshavin is on the brink of completing a move back to Petrovsky stadium barely four years after leaving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 FC. The Russian striker joined the London-based club for reportedly 20 million Euros.
Though the Russian striker enjoyed a decent spell at Emirates stadium during his first year at London, he failed to live up to expectations in the following years. Arshavin failed to score a league goal the entire last season
However, he managed to find the back of the net during Arsenal’s 6-1 win in the league cup tie against Coventry City.
The 30-year-old was not given a contract extension by the Gunner following his poor form at the moment. Consequently, the St. Petersburg club’s academy graduate will return the Russian outfit as a free agent.
Lovchev said that Denisov made a hasty decision to leave Zenit despite spending over ten years at the St. Petersburg club. However, he wished the 29-year-old all the very best in the near future and told him to follow in the footsteps
of Arshavin to return to Zenit one day.
Denisov, who demanded sudden increase in wages after the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 joined the Makhachkala-based club for a reported 15 million Euro transfer fee and penned down a five-year contract
at Dynamo Stadium (Makhachkala).
