“Comparisons with Mario Fernandez are inappropriate. Now it’s my time” – CSKA newcomer Kelven

CSKA newcomer Kelven spoke about his attitude towards former Moscow club football player Mario Fernandez.

In the summer, defender Mario Fernandez, who played for CSKA for many years, moved to Zenit.

— The reaction of the fans is understandable, because Mario moved to our opponent’s camp. Their emotions are understandable, but this is none of my business – I would like to concentrate on my performance for CSKA in order to leave my mark on history.

— What is Mario’s reputation in Brazil? There he also played for two bitter rivals.

– Gremio fans were also unhappy with his move to Internacional. Well, I can’t say anything more.

— I’m sure that fans will compare you with Mario, because you play in his position, you took the second number, which he used to play under. Do you know what you need to do to become better than Fernandez?

– It seems to me that these comparisons are inappropriate. I’ve already played as number two before, and I’m not connected to Mario in any way. He left his story here, I want to leave mine. Now my time is coming,” the Match TV website quotes Kelven as saying.
