Former Zenit coach Boris Rapoport commented on the St. Petersburg team's midfielder Jerson. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Sergey Semak substituted the Brazilian player at the end of the game, in the final minutes of the second half. After that, a goal was conceded in front of Zenit's goal.
In the match held in Kazan, the score was equalized at 2:2. According to Rapoport, Semak should have brought Jerson onto the field only in the second half, just like in the previous match against Rostov.
The former coach also emphasized that Zenit's head coach is trying to prepare Jerson for the match against CSKA. According to Rapoport, Brazilian players usually take a long time to adapt in the Zenit team.
For this reason, the team coach is trying to give Jerson more game practice. The match between Zenit and CSKA within the Premier League will take place on August 3, Sunday.
This match is of significant importance for both teams.
