Portuguese footballerZenith » Ana Dias in an interview with , she noted her quick adaptation in Russia and also told how she endures long trips across the country before league matches.
Ana Dias has been playing for Zenit since 2021, she is the team’s top scorer this season (12 goals), and in the Women’s Super League only Nelli Korovkina from Lokomotiv (17 goals) is second in this indicator.
– Women’s “Zenith” this season is not the first time to go to the away match and return by train. How do you like these trips?
– At first it was very unusual. And when for the first time we went on the same day to Rostov-on-Don, it turned out to be a shock – it turns out that in one country you can get from one city to another another on the train for 24 hours (smile)! For my body, it was not easy at first. To be honest, the process seemed rather tedious. But then I got used to it. And once again I was convinced: Russia is a huge country,” the 25-year-old striker told .
“How do you feel here?”
— I can call Russia my second home. I’ve lived here long enough to get used to it. I’ve already talked about the attitude from day one – it helped me a lot to quickly integrate into the team, to feel good here. Of course, I miss my relatives in Portugal. But we are still in contact and to some extent they are next to me. But now I have Russia as a friend. So I can’t complain about the lack of support here.
Zenit became Women’s Super League champions earlier than expected in the match against Rostov, after winning gold medals for the first time in the team’s history. On October 21, after the game against CSKA (1-1), the award ceremony for the St. Petersburg club took place.
