Anderson Rebuffs Diving Criticism

Last updated : 08 November 2007 By Editor

This follows accustions from the Arsenal game:

"No, not at all. I am young but I am very pure on the field.

"I do not try to trick people with my actions or practise any theatre."

More:

"I know the stories about the problems of the South Americans at Manchester United, but I believe that this season Carlos Tevez and I will break those.

"A Brazilian should be able to triumph in any club in the world, including this one, so I won't make any excuses.

"I just want the chance to show my quality. I am Anderson, not Veron or Kleberson. This is the difference. Perhaps I have arrived with more ambition than those two did.

"I am happy with the way my stay in England has gone so far. The advice I have had from the manager has just been to work hard and wait for my chance."
