Defender Jubal Mendes, who transferred from the French championship to the Krasnodar club, compared the Russian Premier League (RPL) and France Ligue 1. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, both championships have similar characteristics. There are many physically strong players in Russia and France, and the game involves a lot of struggle and competition.
Mendes emphasized that the RPL level is not lower than Ligue 1. The defender also mentioned that he received several other offers during the summer transfer window.
The 32-year-old Brazilian footballer joined Krasnodar as a free agent. Before that, he played for the French championship club Auxerre.
So far, he has played four matches for Krasnodar but has not yet managed to score a goal. Mendes is adapting to the team and striving to show even better results.
His experience and physical strength are important for the team. The Krasnodar management also expresses confidence in his play.
The footballer aims to appear on the field more often in the future and help the team.
