The coach of “Zenith” said that the Brazilian Mantouan can get Russian citizenship

Brazilian coach of “Zenith” William de Oliveira said that the Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Mantuan can get a Russian passport and plans to stay in the Russian club.

Malcolm and Claudinho received Russian passports. Does anyone else on the team plan to get a Russian passport?

– Maybe Gustavo Mantuan will want to get a Russian passport. This theme quietly develops with him. You see, it all comes from the desire of the player himself. He really likes Russia, like other Brazilians. Mantuan is very pleased here. But we have not talked to other players on this topic yet.

– Is there any clarity on Mantua, who is now playing on loan? Will he stay with the team after the end of the season?

– Yes. It is highly likely that Mantua will remain at the club after this season. He is a good footballer. Gustavo is a young and talented player. He has been a great asset to our team. He scored very important goals in very important matches. But it’s up to the club to decide if they want to keep him.

– Does everything in the club suit him? He gets a little playing practice.

“We are happy with Gustavo and he is happy with everything at the club. He helps our team to take important points. But there is really a lot of competition for his position. Malcolm, Mostovoy, Claudinho – they can all play in his position. But the time he gets, he spends with the maximum benefit for the club, proves that he deserves to play, get into the squad, – quotes the coach “Sport Day by Day”.

Zenit announced the loan of Mantua from Corinthians in July last year. The agreement with the 21-year-old player was signed for one year with the option to buy later. In 23 matches this season, Mantuan scored 4 goals and gave 1 assist.
