Zenit is a contender for the championship with Jerson and Enrique

Portuguese agent Paulo Barbosa commented on the future of the "Zenit" team regarding the transfer status of midfielder Jerson. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, Jerson's transfer indicates that the team is a main contender for the championship. Such players cannot be easily acquired.

If the "Zenit" team fields Jerson and Enrique in the starting lineup, they will be considered a primary candidate for the championship, the agent said in an interview with "RB Sport." Barbosa also emphasized that the player's adaptation to the team is of great importance.

However, judging by the documents and the squad, the "Zenit" team looks very strong. Last season, the "blue-white-greens" secured second place in the Russian Premier League standings.

This was the first time in seven years that they could not clinch the championship. According to the agent, new transfers and strengthening the team will increase "Zenit's" chances of achieving the championship with all their might.

Additionally, their playing style and tactics also have a significant impact on the team's success. The team management and coaches are working to further improve the squad.

All of this prepares "Zenit" to achieve high results in the upcoming season.
