"10 years ago I told the owner of the club that we should do like Shakhtar. And, in principle, we have now become similar to Shakhtar.

Naturally, in terms of philosophy I would like us to be like Barcelona. But for this we need the club academy to produce players. And for this, we need not only to invest money in the academy, but also to instil the soul and philosophy," Russian media quoted Arshavin as saying.
