Zenit coach Anatoly Timoshchuk spoke about the behavior of defender Mario Fernández after Douglas Santos’ goal against CSKA on the seventh round of the RPL.
“I guess I understand why a lot of fans are so angry with Mario now. I can only say about Mario that he is a professional who arrives before the others and leaves later than the others. He trains, tests, prepares in the gym. If you reach the base, you will see that he is one of the first to arrive. He is a professional and a person who helps the team. There are no complaints against him.
Probably because he was at CSKA and ended up at Zenit. These transitions will always have some ambiguous character. It is better to ask Mario himself how he made that decision and what he thought about it,” Sport-Express quotes Tymoshchuk.
Recall that Fernández became a Zenit player in the summer of 2023. Previously, from 2012 to 2022, he played for CSKA.
