Former CSKA and Zenit footballer Yuri Zhirkov told that the Saint Petersburg defender Mario Fernandez who previously played for the military club, will face pressure in the upcoming RPL WORLD 7th round match with CSKA.
The meeting will take place on Sunday 3 September in Moscow. The game starts at 5:30 p.m. (Moscow time).
– For Fernandez, it will be the first game against CSKA. So, super principal?
– Yes of course! Before that, in Russia, he played only for CSKA, and army supporters ambiguously perceived his move to Zenit. So it can be interesting in the stands. True, not everyone goes to the stadium anymore, so there may not be anyone to express something on this subject. Even if all the same, there will probably be those who whistle or do something else like that.
You know Mario well. How will he behave in this situation?
“It will not affect him in any way. Step onto the court and play like a pro. But besides, CSKA also have a player for whom this match will certainly be very important: after all, Anton Zabolotny has already played at Zenit, Zhirkov told .
Fernandez played for CSKA from 2012 to 2022. In the summer of 2023, the defender signed a contract with “Zenith” . Zhirkov played for CSKA from 2004 to 2009, for Zenit from 2016 to 2021.
