Semin noted that currently there are indeed many Brazilian players at Zenit, and this is understandable, as they are the ones who contribute significantly to the club’s success. The Petersburgers actively attract talented and promising players who develop with the team. As long as the club and the coach successfully manage the situation with the foreign players, there is nothing wrong with their large number. “Zenith” chooses quality legionnaires and is rarely mistaken. Semin also noted that Brazilian soccer players are well suited in Russia.
Recall that the “Zenith” becomes the champion of the Russian Premier League for the fifth consecutive year. Last season, the team managed by Semak scored 74 goals in 30 matches, including 43 goals (58%) scored by Brazilian legionnaires.
