The new member of the Saint Petersburg "Zenit" football team, Jerson Santos, admitted that he does not have a good knowledge of Russian geography. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He said: “I still don’t know exactly where we are flying to in Russia. To be honest, I might get lost on the map of Brazil as well.
The main thing is to perform our duties and show a good game wherever we go.” It is worth noting that the match between "Rubin" and "Zenit" will take place in the second round of the Russian Premier League.
Both teams won in the first round. "Zenit" won 2:1 against "Rostov" at home, while "Rubin" defeated "Akhat" 2:0 away.
Jerson Santos transferred from the "Flamengo" team to "Zenit" in the summer of 2025. His addition to the team was an important boost for the Saint Petersburg club.
The team aims to achieve high results in the new season.
