Leonid Tufrin, who served as the president of St. Petersburg's Zenit team from 1992 to 1994, commented on the performance of the team's new member, Brazilian footballer Jerson Santos. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Jerson transferred from Flamengo to Zenit this summer for 25 million euros. According to Tufrin, the team bought the player for a significant amount and he was expected to show his worth immediately.
So far, his performance has not been impressive at all, and no significant results are expected in the future. Jerson has previously played for teams like Marseille, Fiorentina, and Roma.
The 28-year-old midfielder has 14 appearances and one goal for the Brazil national team. Overall, the player's current form is not satisfactory for the team and the fans.
Tufrin believes that Jerson needs to put in more effort to prove his worth.
