Anelka scoffs at Mineiro claims
Print Edition
CONTROVERSIAL French forward Nicolas Anelka yesterday rubbished claims he was ever in line to join Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro.
Atletico claimed on Tuesday it had scrapped plans to sign Anelka after running out of patience waiting for him to make contact with the team.
That came after Mineiro chairman Alexandre Kalil had said on April 5 via Twitter that Anelka would be signing.
But yesterday the 35-year-old striker uploaded a video to his Twitter and Facebook pages showing him talking on April 8 about his future, which he said would not be in Brazil. “I’m obliged to make a video today (April 8) because I’ve seen what’s happening with regard to the news about me,” he said.
Anelka’s response came a day after Mineiro, current club of veteran Brazil star Ronaldinho, hit out at the former Arsenal, Real Madrid, Paris St-Germain, Chelsea and Shanghai Shenhua star.
On Tuesday, Anelka, a convert to Islam, was in Kuwait to participate in a meeting for young Muslims.
