Forward “Zenith » Mateo Cassierra explained why he decided not to use the permission of the International Football Federation (FIFA) to suspend contracts with Russian clubs and continue his career in the Saint Petersburg team.
The Colombian striker left Sochi for Zenit, signing a three-year contract with the possibility of a one-season extension. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old was introduced as a member of the Blue-White-Blues.
Why didn’t you use FIFA permission to stay in Russia?
– There are several reasons. The first and main thing is that there was an interest from Zenit, I wanted to try my luck at the title of national champion. Secondly, I spoke with Barrios, his words convinced me even more that it is necessary to take this step and accept the offer. I expect to continue the glorious traditions of the club, to win many trophies. I also know the Russian championship well, last year taught me a lot, I would like to continue playing in the league in which I felt good,” Cassierra told reporters.
