Igor Korneev hails Fabio Capello’s fantastic start to the World Cup campaign following Russia’s 2-0 win in the opening group stage match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972
Anzhi Makhachkala and Zenit St. Petersburg are the only two Russian Premier League clubs that have invested over hundred million Euros in new signings in a single calendar year, since the inception of Russian championship.
However, it was the Makhachkala-based club that had set the glowing trend after making expensive signings ever since Suleyman Kerimov joined them as their president.
The Russian billionaire reportedly splashed out 30 million Euros on the likes of Lacina Traore and Lassana Diarra this summer before making landmark signings last summer.
Kerimov persuaded Samuel Eto’o, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317 to come to Russia in a deal worth 70 million Euros.
Zenit, on the other hand, followed in the footsteps of Anzhi after making expensive signings this summer. The defending champions broke all previous transfer records in the history of the Russian championship after signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542.
The Russian Super Cup runners-up signed a four-year contract with duo after paying a staggering hundred million Euros to the Portuguese outfits.
Igor Korneev has expressed his delight after seeing top talent at Russia over the course of last two years, insisting that the famous and talented players will increase the viewership of Russian football.
“It's no secret that today in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 there are only two clubs who can afford to purchase any player – Zenit and Anzhi.”
“Blue, white and blue have no problems with finances and can spend big money on a player if that player really needs a team. In my opinion, this change will not bring any harm to the Russian transfer market.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 midfielder was quoted as saying.
Korneev went on to hail http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello, insisting that the former Real Madrid boss deserves all the plaudits for the Russian national team’s first win in the opening group stage match against Northern Ireland at Stadion Lokomotiv (Moscow) on Friday.
