Hulk makes peace

Zenit Saint Petersburg's big-money Brazilian signing Hulk has made his peace with the club after threatening to leave following an early substitution last week, he said in an interview Monday.
Zenit's Italian manager Luciano Spalletti brought off Hulk with 10 minutes to go in the Champions League clash against AC Milan, prompting him to threaten to leave in the new year.
But Hulk told the Sport Express daily that such reactions were just normal behaviour for a passionate player who wanted to do the best for his team.
"I play and train not just for myself but for the team. I think the desire to play until the final whistle is natural for a footballer," he said.
