Hleb: Won’t make return trip to Birmingham<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alexander Hleb has confirmed that he will not be returning to Birmingham next season.<\/p>\n

The Barcelona midfielder has spent the season on-loan at St Andrews, but he has failed to make the expected impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hleb admits he has struggled to adapt playing for a side like Birmingham, having previously starred for Barca and Arsenal.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Before, I think teams like Birmingham were easy to play with but it is difficult when you play in such teams, not like Arsenal or Barcelona,” he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Here you need to just fight and run, not too much passing, and this for me is something new.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have enjoyed it in a way because it is something new. This is a different experience although I prefer to play and to enjoy football.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But I will give 100 per cent for this club every weekend.”<\/span><\/p>\n

No return<\/span><\/h4>\n

He admitted that he would not be returning to St Andrews next term, adding: “No, no. I am happy and enjoy my time here, everything is good here, but this is a little bit not my way (style) of football.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Barcelona is the biggest club in the world but it is difficult when you are not from Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It has happened with everybody (not being picked) with Henry, everyone. Josep Guardiola picks the Spanish players.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve not had a lot of chances to play there. I prefer to stay in the Premier League.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hleb admits he would love the chance to return to Arsenal, saying: “I love Arsenal. It is always in my heart but now is too early to speak about a new club.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I want to give my best for Birmingham but if I have chance to go back (to Arsenal)…..of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everything is possible but I am just saying if I get this chance, of course I’d come, but it’s too early to speak about this.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
