Vlastimil Petrjela, the former coach of St. Petersburg's Zenit team, expressed his thoughts on the transfer of Brazilian midfielder Jerson to the "blue-white-sky" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The specialist emphasized that Jerson is chasing money. No one in Europe will pay 25 million euros for him, and he will not receive such a high salary.
Therefore, Jerson should enjoy living in Russia. It was previously announced that Zenit has signed a five-year contract with the 28-year-old Brazilian footballer.
Before moving to St. Petersburg, Jerson played for the Flamengo team. The new season of the Russian championship will start for the "blue-white-sky" with a home game against Rostov.
These changes will bring new strength and opportunities to the team, as well as raise great hopes for the players and fans. Many are focused on how Jerson will perform in this new team.
The Zenit management and coaches are working to strengthen the team further. Therefore, more successful results can be expected in the future.
