Witsel denies keeping harsh feeling for Denisov and welcomes Arshavin back at Zenit – Football News
Zenit St. Petersburg winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771, next season.
“Much has been said about my relationship with Denisov over the years but Igor is not my enemy. It’s just that did not communicate much in the dressing room or even outside the pitch. I really wish Denisov all the best for the
future. I think he's a great football player. Maybe, I'll have to play deeper after his departure. I am really excited with Arshavin’s arrival. I played against him in the European tournament. I think he is a classy player who caused us a lot of trouble in
the competition almost four years ago,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 player was quoted as saying.
Denisov hurt Witsel after questioning the St. Petersburg club’s management why the Belgian International is earning more money than him. He further refused to enter the pitch after threatening the Russian Premier League club to
raise his wage bill.
However, Witsel said that he has forgotten everything what the 29-year-old said to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti and wished Denisov best of luck at his new club. Denisov joined Anzhi Makhachkala after leaving Petrovsky stadium following similar
controversies.
The Russian International joined the Makhachkala-based club on a reported three-year contract after both the clubs agreed on the sale of the central playmaker for 15 million Euros.
Witsel went on to express his excitement to play alongside potential new comer Andrei Arshavin, who will return to the St. Petersburg club from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 FC as a free agent this summer.
The Belgian International lavished praise on Arshavin, saying that he played against the 32-year-old attacker in UEFA Cup when he was Standard Liege’s player. The Belgian outfit were knocked out by Zenit in the tournament after
suffering a 1-4 defeat on aggregate.
Speaking on his own future, Witsel confirmed that he will not leave Zenit at the moment despite stiff interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco FC respectively. However, the 24-year-old expressed a desire to play in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749
one day.
