Moscow are ambitious going into next season UEFA Champions League having occupied the second spot in the
just concluded Russian league.

tournament after helping the team to win their major trophy in the mid-season
Copa Delroy Cup in Norway, and the former Karabukspor king of goals has talked
up his side's chances in next season Champions league.
“I’m happy that God made it possible for us to finish second,
which was our target having lost the title chance to Zenith Petersburg and
finishing second was a fantastic efforts which I think we are ready to take out
some surprise in the Champions league next season.
“Yes, it is an opportunity for me to compete with the world
best strikers. I don’t need to praise myself for my contribution in the club
success but I think they appreciated my effort and I have been commended for
that and that is by the way. My focus now is to have good vacation and return
back to my club and prepare well for next season.
“I had good season, even though I experienced some
difficulties which I think is one of those things in life generally, so I have
put those ones behind me and my concentrations now is to help my club win the
league. Yes, we can also win the Champions League after our play-off, it is
possible. Who ever thought Chelsea will go all the way to final? And they won
it. It’s all about determination and motivation.
“I will never rule out myself in lifting the Champions
league but playing there is exciting, I can’t just wait to prove myself.
"We are ready to show great things next season. We are
ambitious. There is quality in the team and more are still coming.
"There are many requirements for Spartak and next year
we will show something better than last season. It feels good that the campaign
is over. I will not deny that it was a great season for me. I won a trophy, I
score goals and my goals are crucial to the team, so I have reason to thank God
and the fans.
“Next season is going to be tough in Russian league because
we are already dreaming of the league. We played and scored lots of goals last
season and I believe we can repeat the same performance that will supersede
others.
“In Champions, I will like to play against the likes of
Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid. I think those are the most difficult clubs
for now, so beating them will make us stronger for the subsequent matches but
we must win our play-off first.
