RT.ENG.RU
Thanks for joining us today, as we continue to watch the events unfolding here at Sovatov Samara, today we bring you an exclusive interview with Oleg Romantsev-director of football and Carlos Bianchi, the head man.

Mr Romantsev, do you agree with the pundits who say, that hiring someone like Mr Bianchi, even with his great CV is somewhat of a risk?
"Mr Abramovich and I, were both in agreement on this matter, to help build the Football Club, we needed someone with extensive experience, someone, who, could not only do wonders on the training pitch, but, also understand the way to build a base for a football club. Carlos has this experience, he did amazing things with Boca Juniors and Velez in Argentina, and he is the right man for this job"
"Let me add"says Bianchi"I am very pleased this opportunity presented itself, who wouldn't want to be involved in a project such as this, Mr. Abramovich and Mr.Romantsev have laid out a clear vision for the future, and it looks very bright"

This is all very positive stuff, if that's the case, why sign Mr. Bianchi to a one year contract which expires on 30-6-2013?
"well, we felt, this would give us the most flexibility, and have no doubt, if we have the success that I know Mr. Abramovich feels we should have, then there will be a new contract offer"

let us go to the Metallurg in Samara for a presser to introduce the 4 new Samara players, making their way to the podium are Oleg Romantsev-director of football and Carlos Bianchi, the man in charge

Q"How do you feel these signing can push the club forward"?
A"Clearly, they all add something to the club, or we wouldn't have signed them, they're all quality players who give us vast attacking abilitities, and should help push us up the table, and towards European competition, which we all know is what the chairman expects"
"We feel, That with each move, that is stragegically made, we're able to push ourselves forward talent wise, clearly, these moves are big financially, but, the chairman and myself worked hard, to make sure we didn't buy expensive players just for the sake of it"

Q "How can singing 4 players so close together not cause trouble for the club?"
A" Well, as your aware, we're a very ambitious club, and to meet those ambitions, players must be brought in. Singing them together is sort of a fluke, but it does give the team a chance to jell in preseason, which can be very important"

Q: How did you manage to sign Kweuke, even though some in the media laughed it off?
"well, I won't let the media decide who should sign for the club, its our job, Carlos and myself to target the best players, and clearly, Leonard is one of the best at his position, so of course we wanted him, and credit to Leonard for wanting to join the Samara revolution"
Leonard says "I had many options, but Samara seemed like the club that wanted me most, and they are a club on the rise, who wouldn't want to join in on something this dynamic?"

Nolito says "Samara showed they wanted me, and I believed in the vision of the Director and Carlos, they clearly have a plan and are executing it"

Eduardo Vargas says" This is a top quality club, that is clear for all to see, we're building something great, and I'm proud to be a part of this amazing project

Adam Maher says " Clearly, there is some consternation from the Dutch fans, and those at Ajax, but, with the high quality coaching, and the vision of the chairman, the Director, and the Manager, this club, has all the makings of something quiet powerful, and I'm proud to be here, and look forward to winning trophies and plaudits here"
