Offensive “Zenith” Malcolm said he really likes playing in Russia, the Brazilian also noted the level of the Russian Premier League.
Everyone has their own view of the situation. I had a very clear objective: to continue playing in the Champions League. Zenit compete every year, so I knew I was going to show myself, that I was going to be in the spotlight of European football. But after what happened last year, it became more difficult for everyone.
How do you feel at Zenith?
Very well, I am happy and very comfortable here. It’s a big team, a “family” club, like in Barcelona, with a lot of Brazilians. I feel like home!
— What can you tell us about Russian football?
– The level is very high.
– And the infrastructure?
— This is the highest European level. I played at Barça and saw conditions here that I had never seen before. It surprised me when I arrived.
– Do you speak Russian?
“I don’t speak Russian! I don’t speak Russian!” is a phrase I use all the time to say that I don’t speak Russian. So everyone knows (laughs), — quote the words of Malcolm Eleven.
Malcolm’s contract with Zenit runs until summer 2027. Portal Transfermarkt estimate his transfer value at €30m.
Last season, the striker scored 23 goals in 27 Russian league games, becoming the top scorer in the WORLD RPL.
