Zenit move will make me stronger - Bruno AlvesDefender excited over new challenge Fresh from signing a four-year contract with Zenit Saint-Petersburg, Portuguese international Bruno Alves believes he has taken the right choice to benefit his career.
Alves’ €22m transfer to Russia came to a surprise to many, as the former Dragons captain had long been linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs. However, the 28-year-old insists the move to Luciano Spalletti’s Zenit side will be good for him, and is ambitious about what he can achieve with the club. “It is a big step for my career and I hope to win many titles,” Alves said. “I chose Zenit because it is a fantastic club and they have followed me with interest for a long time. I was also keen to work with Spalletti. I am convinced that I have taken the right option. “It is a new experience that will make me stronger. I am happy to be playing with Fernando Meira and Danny and I hope we can win many titles together.” By Sean Gillen Keep up to date with all the latest news on Portuguese football with the new PortuGOAL Twitter! |
