Petrovic on his four-year deal at Alvalade

Speaking after penning a deal that will see him play in Alvalade for the coming four seasons, Radosav Petrovic proved happy with the opportunity to represent a side that he alraedy knew well.

“I know that this club is at a really high level and is looking to win trophies and to play in the Champions League. I know some players from here, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Nani and Peter Schmeichel, as well as some of the lads from the squad, like Slimani, Aquilani, Bryan Ruiz, Rui Patrício and William Carvalho", said the 27-year old Serbian arriving from Dynamo Kiev, adding: "When I decided to come here I didn't even need to speak with Miguel Veloso or anyone from the Serbian team. When the president invited me I really didn't need to think much about it. Of course I had spoken to Miguel (Veloso) about a lot of things during the season, including Sporting, but it was an easy decision. This is a club where I think I can show my quality."

“I prefer to show my qualities on the pitch than to just talk about them", finished Patrovic.
