Mateo Cassierra: “I immediately decided that I wanted to go to Zenit”

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.
