Former head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov believes that the Brazilian striker “Zenith” Rock can become a football star.
On Sunday, Zenit beat Baltika 1:0, with the only goal scored in the 42nd minute by 18-year-old Pedro. In the previous match between Zenit and Spartak in the FONBET Russian Cup, Pedro scored a double (2:1).
– How do you like Pedro?
— Already at winter training camp it was clear that he was a strong and individually focused player. He recently scored two goals against Spartak… He is already a mature footballer who shows extraordinary talent. We won’t congratulate him, but what we see suggests that Zenit have acquired at the right time a player who can become a real star, both sportingly and financially. It could be a good success for Zenit.
— Is he ready to be a starting player who leads the team behind him?
— A young player is synonymous with the word “instability”. But Semak is an experienced coach. This is the case when the player must take breaks in time. At 18, you cannot do heavy loads to prevent something in the body from breaking,” Cherchesov said on MATCH FIRST.
Zenit will play away against Krasnodar on April 13, the match will start at 17:00 (Moscow time). The St. Petersburg team leads the standings with 44 points, Krasnodar (43) is second.
