MOSCOW, Aug 21 Newcomer of Spartak Moscow player Srjan Babich said that he could not refuse the capital club.
On Monday, Spartak announced the transfer of the 27-year-old Serb from the Spanish Almeria, the contract with the player is designed for three seasons.
«
"Spartacus" is a great club. I'm glad to be here. I knew that one of the greatest Serbian players, Nemanja Vidić, played for Spartak. I've only heard good things about this club. When I got the offer, I didn't hesitate for a long time. All negotiations took about three days. I think that "Spartacus" is one of those clubs that it’s wrong to refuse,” Babich quotes the Spartak YouTube channel.
“I don’t even know, maybe red and white are my lucky colors, I’ve been playing all my life I like them. I played for Red Star for several years, won three league titles with them, took part in the Champions League and the Europa League. I hope that in Spartak I will be able to repeat these achievements. I have already been to Russia once when Red Star Star played in the Europa League with CSKA,» he added.
Babich played for «Almeria» and met in the championship of Spain with the midfielder of «Spartak» Theo Bongonda, who played then for «Cadiz». “Last season I played with Theo twice, both times the matches ended in a draw. Now we will play for the same team. I hope together we can win many matches. I know other Spartak players as well. Not personally yet, but I have studied almost all composition,» the defender concluded.
