Roberto Carlos has denied inviting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Real Madrid stars to the Dagestani club and expressed his desire to help Anzhi claim a UEFA Champions League berth.
Following Suleyman Kerimov’s arrival at Anzhi Makhachkala as the club’s president, Anzhi have stolen the headlines by signing quality players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christopher-Samba-c9212, Balazs Dzsudzsák and Samuel Eto’o have
all joined the ambitious Russian outfit ever since.
If speculations are to be believed, Kerimov tried to sign Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, before signing former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 head coach, Guus Hiddink, at Makhachkala stadium
Hiddink’s agent had confirmed that Roberto Carlos, Anzhi’s athletic director, played a key role in convincing Kerimov to sign his client during the winter transfer window. There’s little arguing that the Brazilian national is enjoying
a decent relationship with the Russian billionaire.
According to some reports from earlier this week, Carlos has now requested Kerimov to sign Barcelona striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, in the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, Carlos has denied such reports, revealing that the media has misinterpreted him. He stressed that Anzhi need to offer UEFA Champions League football before inviting star strikers to the Makhachkala-based club.
Carlos, who joined the mega rich club last year, revealed that the Russian Premier League is getting popular in the world. However, he admitted that the Russian outfits need to work harder in Europe to increase the viewership.
“I have not promised the fans to sign these players. I was simply misunderstood. You have to be realistic. These players will not sign for the Russian club unless we offer them a good hope in the Champions League. We will fight
for the European spot and only then can we talk about the acquisition of decent players.” The UEFA Super Cup winner was quoted as saying.
With 10 league rounds left to play, Anzhi are at the seventh spot on the league table and 14 points adrift of the top spot. Anzhi need to retain the third spot if they are to qualify for the Champions League this season.
