Chris Samba: Conditions are the same in England at this time of year

Anzhi newboy Christopher Samba, who signed from Blackburn during the winter break, commented on his side’s 1-0 victory over Dynamo Moscow.

«I’ve been here for only a week, but if we got the three points, then clearly I’ve adapted well here. I dream of playing for Anzhi in the Champions League and I think that this target is achievable.»

«What are your first impressions of Russia?»

«It’s cold, lots of traffic jams. But I like Russia. Fans in Makhachkala are great and my teammates give me support.»

«Have you ever played on a pitch like that in England?»

«The pitch was alright for this time of year. I am not saying the surface was good, it wasn’t, but for winter that’s normal. The pitches are the same in England at this time.»
