Athletistic / Football. Former “Rostov” mentor Sergei Balakhnin commented on the possible transfer of defender Mario Fernandez to “Zenith”. The day before it became known that the Brazilian with a Russian passport is about to move to Zenit, despite promising to play in Russia only for CSKA.

“I think he is capable of playing at the highest level. I don’t know why Zenit really needs him, since there are no more European cups now. So maybe it’s worth- he better take and prepare the young players for the future under the current conditions. “There are already ten Brazilians in the squad, it’s a real mess. Already a kind of Brazilian team, there must be Russians in the club, if not the point of all this? You can train young players in parallel. He is a good player, in the short term he will definitely help the team.

Salikhova: “There will be a good group of Bakaev – Fernandez on the Zenit bench”

Can I call such a gesture on the player’s part a betrayal? Certainly. I am a neutral person in this situation, but I still take such a step … For me, it is definitely a betrayal. Everyone has their own principles, but I find it difficult to understand such an approach”, quotes Euro-Football Balakhnin.
