Defender”Zenith » Robert Renan said in a interview that he changed his attitude somewhat towards his bold shots during the spring part of the 2022/23 season.
– How do you assess the first six months at Zenit from a footballing point of view?
— It is not easy for young players who go abroad for the first time from so far away to get involved immediately under new conditions, wherever they are. But according to my own feelings, I managed to do it in a fairly short time. Get used to Zenit football and Russian in general. For which I want to say a big thank you to my teammates. I feel absolutely liberated there, one hundred percent mine and already accustomed to the new conditions. And I play with pleasure.
– You immediately surprised me with an atypical game for a central defender – you went forward, started to dribble. For six months, Russian football has not rejected this desire?
– I will say that I changed my approach to these things a bit. Revisited the view of when to do and when not to. Still, football in Russia is really different from what you are used to in Brazil. But I think the fans still have a chance to see my dribbling again. I didn’t give up at all. Now I just try to do it on time, and when it is really necessary, – said Renan “”.
Renan has made 10 appearances for Zenit this season. The Brazilian footballer joined the team in January 2023 from Corinthians, his contract runs until the end of June 2028.
