Vlastimil Petrjela, a former coach of the "Zenit" team, commented on Vendel's behavior. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The Brazilian midfielder has not yet joined the summer training camp of the St. Petersburg club. According to Petrjela, if he were in Sergey Semak's position, he would not keep such a player in the team.
In his words, this is a matter for the coach. "If Vendel had played in my team, we would have released him immediately.
Such a player would not play in my team," said Petrjela in an interview with "Sport Kunma-kun." At the beginning of the summer, Vendel was expected to move from "Zenit" to the "Botafogo" club, but the transfer did not happen.
Moreover, the Brazilian midfielder's delay in joining the summer training camps is not the first instance. These situations are negatively affecting his professional attitude, and the team management is paying serious attention to this.
Vendel's future remains uncertain for now, as the coach and club management do not approve of his behavior. Full participation in the team's summer training camp is considered important for every player.
Therefore, such delays could lead to serious consequences. A decision from the club management is expected to be announced in the coming days.
