Former head coach of Moscow "Lokomotiv" Yuri Syomin commented on the debut of Brazilian national team midfielder Jerson at Saint Petersburg "Zenit". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
On July 20, 2023, in the first round of the Russian Premier League match between "Zenit" and "Rostov" (2:1), Jerson came on the field in the second half. However, he could not stand out with his effective actions.
According to Syomin, as soon as the Brazilian player stepped onto the field, it became evident that he is a high-level player. His skill and quality of play are noticeable from his first touches on the ball.
For this reason, he stated that this was a very strong and important acquisition for "Zenit". According to media reports, Jerson's transfer from "Flamengo" was valued at 25 million euros.
This transfer will serve to further strengthen the "Zenit" team. It is said that the player's future and contribution to the team are significant.
