Danny: Pepe and Cannavaro are the best in the world

Danny, midfielder from Zenit St Petersburg, praised the defense of Madrid and assured that a draw before the whites "would not be a bad result."

The Portuguese Danny, the new star of the Zenit St Petersburg rival Real Madrid in the Champions League, said that his Italian compatriot Pepe and Cannavaro are "the best defenses in the world." "Real Madrid has a great defense. A Pepe know him well. Moreover, they have to Casillas, who is also one of the best," said Danny in a perfect Spanish, since he was born into a family emigrant in Venezuela to Vaez who noted that "the tie would not be a bad result."

"Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world. Always play to win. It will not be easy. The Spaniards are much better than Juventus. The Italians are closed, the change in Madrid will open," he said.

In his opinion, the recipe to defeat Madrid is "playing fast, on the flanks, not through the center. Taking the ball. If the players of Madrid do not have the ball, they suffer." The problem, he said, is that even playing better than the white team, its front "can solve the game at any moment."

Of his colleagues, especially the Portuguese stresses Arshavin, Zyriánov and Pogrebnyak. Danny also broke a lance in favor of the Zenit goalkeeper, Malafeev in the eye of the storm for several weeks by their repeated failures, including allowing a goal direct from a lack of Del Piero Juventus in front of the Turin (1-0 ). As for the 30 million euros paid by the Zenit, said Danny does not feel the pressure. "I am a professional. The CSKA, Spartak and Lokomotiv on I wanted to punch but the clause was very high. The Zenit has paid and I wanted to sign for them," he said.

His last performances have earned him the call of the new screening Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, thus expected to contest the World Cup in South Africa. "Scolari never called me. Instead, Queiroz knows me very well, helped me a lot in the past. I hope to play the World Cup," he said.

In turn, is not ruling out a future book by a Spanish team, and that Spain "is closer to Portugal" and the football is played in this league "is very beautiful." "Valencia has always been my favorite team, by the time of Farina, Mendieta and lice Lopez. He earned them all. Also on Atletico Madrid while he was FUTRAN. We are different players. It was another era," he said.
