Wendel, who is also the destroyer of Spartak, put on a Brazilian show on Sunday night, August 20, scoring a brace in this summer’s main game. And the Brazilian’s summer was rough without football. Wendel did not prepare for the season with the team, did not participate in training camp, and in general did not really want to return to St. Petersburg.
Marcus left for Brazil in May, missing out on the championship final, then postponed his arrival to July, causing quite a stir in the media space. He and his agent have been diligently searching for a new club and continue to do so. If the option suits Zenit, Wendel can be released. But now there are no such options, and the Brazilian will win balls for blue-white-blue. There is a feeling that now they will not let go so easily. At the beginning of the season, Petersburg fell asleep, but now it has straightened its shoulders and will eliminate all rivals on its way.

Why, even though Wendel was off for most of the summer, does he look like one of the best? Everything is simple here, the Brazilian trained individually, but he knows most of the team, he played with them, so in the match with Spartak it seemed that last year’s Zenit came out. Wendel is a party person, but he always stays in shape, this can be traced in his posts on social networks. Markus also received a heavy fine from St. Petersburg, who also helped straighten his brain and remind him that he now has a contract with Zenit. Wendel, by the way, apologized to the whole team, so the topic was closed until winter.
Now St. Petersburg rejoices at the game of his club, the fans praise Wendel. They say that for such a game he will be forgiven by any party and will miss the training grounds. And the fans are sure that Wendel is the standard of a true Brazilian football player, because what a beauty he shows!
The Brazilian midfielder himself will become one of the team’s top scorers, replacing Malcolm who now shines in Saudi Arabia, Wendel is eager to score more than he did last season.

“Can we say that Wendel from last season is back? Last season I managed to show myself well, score eight goals. I have a double today. I hope that this season he can score more goals. This match was important for us, a fundamental match. In all episodes of the game, Zenit had an advantage. We work hard all week. Was it difficult when Spartak recovered? We all understood that the one who makes the fewest mistakes wins in such a match, ”Match TV quotes Wendel as saying.
After the game with the most principled rival, Spartak Moscow, Zenit ranks fourth in the Russian Premier League table with ten points from five games.
