Ex-footballer of “Zenith” Alexei Igonine told RB Sport he positively assessed the defender’s transition Mario Fernandez V “Zenith” .
Zenit announced the signing of Fernandez on Monday. The 32-year-old’s deal is for one year with the possibility of a season extension.
– Of course, we can say that Mario is Russian, but then our Russian school raises a big question in terms of defense players. I would like our defenders to be in this position, but, apparently, Zenit have high demands. Mario is a free football player. I think he has everything to start playing right away. It’s a pretty big factor.
– That is to say, Mario is a reinforcement for Zenit?
– This is an increase in competition, which is also significant. With insufficient competition, there will be no good Russian footballers. Competition is needed, the more an experienced player comes. Yes, Mario has Russian nationality, but in fact he is a legionnaire who has spent a lot of time in Russia. It is quite possible that Mario will help foreign players who come to Zenit to adapt. A comfortable stay in the country can affect the performance of foreign players. In the transition of Fernandez, I see an obvious plus.
The new MIR RPL season starts on July 21 with the Dynamo-Krasnodar match. will broadcast three first-round matches live: Lokomotiv – Rubin (July 22, 5:15 p.m.), Akhmat – Wings of the Soviets (July 22, 7:45 p.m.) and Sochi – “Baltika” (July 23, 7:45 p.m.). Zenit in the starting round on July 22 will play on the road with BET NN.
