Former Russia national team striker Dmitriy Bulykin positively assessed the transfer of Brazilian midfielder Jerson to the Zenit team in Saint Petersburg. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, this will, in turn, enhance the championship's status, but he emphasized that it is important how Jerson plays and presents himself in the new team. Because the Russian championship has its own peculiarities, and not every player may adapt to it.
Jerson is 28 years old and played for Flamengo in Brazil before joining Zenit. He has also played for Marseille, Fluminense, Roma, and Fiorentina.
In the Brazil national team, he has appeared in 14 matches and scored one goal. In the last season, Jerson participated in 28 matches at the club level, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists.
His transfer is expected to strengthen the Zenit team.
