The head coach “Zenith” Sergei Semak says the lack of practice in the defender Mario Fernandez adds complexity to the process of preparing for the season, but the player may appear on the pitch in the next matches, as he is actively working in training.
Zenit announced on Monday the signing of a contract with 32-year-old Fernandez. The agreement is for one year with the possibility of extension for another season. Fernandez has been without a club and training since April this year.
Mario Fernandez joined the team this week. How would you rate his physical condition? How long can he be in the field?
Mario is a professional. Of course, the time without match training and tone of play really adds some difficulties, but his professionalism and the desire with which he works will allow you to see him on the football field in the next matches. He has everything for that,” Semak told the Zenit website.
Zenit in the first round of the new WORLD RPL season on Saturday will play away with Nizhny Novgorod “PARI NN”. Watch the live broadcast of the match from 3:10 p.m. on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
