Zenit head coach Sergey Semak answered the question of when Brazilian midfielder Gason will be able to play for a St. Petersburg club. Semak said this at a press conference after today’s victory against Serbian Voyadina: “We still haven’t had time to get our first impressions; he hasn’t trained with the team. Today he had tests, tomorrow he had individual work, and it turns out that the day after tomorrow he will start working with the team. Let’s see how ready he is, what work he does with the team, and we will continue to draw conclusions. In general, of course, we’re waiting for him to reach peak fitness. He’s an important player, a very high-quality player who can close more than one position. We hope for a quick adaptation and help for our team.” Zheson moved to Zenit from Brazilian Flamengo for €25 million. In the first round of the Russian Premier League, Semak will host Rostov. The match will take place on Sunday, July 20. Source link
