Several "Zenit" football players have decided to change their game numbers. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
As previously reported, forward midfielder Maksim Glushenkov chose the number 10 for himself. He previously played under the number 67.
Additionally, two Brazilian players also swapped their numbers. Quick winger Pedro chose the number 20.
This number had been vacant in the 2020/2021 season, unused by Markus Vendl. In previous seasons, Pedro played with the number 24.
Defender Nino decided to play under the number 33. The last player to wear this number for Zenit was forward Ivan Sergeyev.
Nino had previously played under the number 27. The purpose of the players changing their numbers is to choose numbers that are more comfortable and lucky for them.
These changes occurred during the team's preparation for the new season, and the coaches also support such decisions. The numbers help express the individuality of the players while fostering closer connections with the fans.
The players are eager to take the field under their new numbers and showcase their best performances. At the same time, competition within the team will intensify, which will drive better results in competitions.
Changing numbers also serves to boost the players' motivation. This situation also opens up new marketing opportunities for the club and increases interest among fans.
With the new numbers, the players are expected to bring even more strength and experience to the team.
