Argentina striker Adolfo Gaich: “A dream to play in the Premier League”

Adolfo Gaich has stated that it’s his dream to play in the Premier League.

Recently signed to CSKA Moscow, Gaich scored the match winner for his team which was also the first for his new club in their 1-0 victory. Gaich spoke to Radio Colonia after the match about the goal. Here’s what he had to say:

“Even if it was a friendly match, I was missing a goal to feel calm. Even more that it was an “ugly” goal in the last play, it helped. There were a few matches and this friendly was the first match in seven months where I played the 90 minutes. It’s important and I didn’t have to wait long to score a goal. One has to keep working and keep on scoring.”

The Argentina capped striker also had this to say:

“It would be very nice to play in the Premier League. It’s a dream to play there and my goal to achieve.”
