Colombian striker Mateo Cassierra said that he immediately decided to move to St. Petersburg “Zenith” and also spoke about communication with the midfielder of the “bleu-blanc-bleu” Barrios Wilmar before transfer.
On Thursday, Zenit announced Cassierra’s transfer from Sochi. The striker has signed a three-year contract with the possibility of a one-season extension.
– I feel good! I am happy to evolve in such a big club. I think last season I did a great job, it was a great year. I hope that from the first days in the new club I will continue in the same spirit.
I learned about the interest of “blue-white-blue” about a month ago, and every day this interest has grown stronger. I immediately decided that I wanted to go to Zenit – and here I am, madly happy, like all my family! I really want to start training with the team as soon as possible and show my best side.
I had the opportunity to speak with Barrios. Wilmar is a top-class player who is making history at Zenit right now. I asked him a few questions, and after his words, it was even easier for me to decide to move. He said I would feel at home here. This Zenit is a football giant who is always fighting for the championship. Of course, all this became an additional motivation for me to come here, – quotes the words of the Cassierra site “Zenith”
The Colombian will play for the Saint Petersburg club under the 30th number.
– I identified with this number for a long time, it was on my jersey last year and during the first season at Belenenses. So my adventure at the Zenith will begin at number 30! — said Cassierra, 25.
