Former footballer and coach of Moscow “Spartak” Valery Gladilin spoke about his attitude towards the likely transfer of the Brazilian defender Mario Fernandez V “Zenith” .
Previous outlets have reported that 32-year-old Fernandez is set to move to Zenit. According to , the team’s head coach Sergey Semak personally wanted to see Mario in the team.
— No, it’s not a spit in the face of the fans. It was he who chose such a team, Zenit is now number one with us. Here it is also necessary to take into account that he himself is Brazilian, although with a Russian passport. He is the backbone of the team – all Brazilians, he knows everyone. It is comfortable for him to play in a team where everyone, in fact, speaks the same language, communicates and makes friends with families. It shouldn’t be a resentment towards CSKA that they didn’t come back. You don’t even have to watch it. The guy just went to the team he’s comfortable playing on. This means that he is more comfortable playing at Zenit with these artists than at CSKA,” Gladilin told Gazeta.Ru.
Fernandez played for CSKA from 2012 to 2022. As part of the army club, the defender played 329 games, scored 11 goals, won three championships, became the winner of the Russian Cup and three times winner of the country’s Super Cup.
