“It would be better if the Russians played in the goal at Zenit” – Dasaev
The former goalkeeper of Spartak and the USSR national team Rinat Dasaev, commenting on the transfer of the Brazilian goalkeeper of Corinthians Ivan to Zenit, noted that he would prefer to see Russian goalkeepers in the St. Petersburg club.
Zenit on Wednesday announced that it had reached an agreement with Corinthians on the transfer of striker Yuri Alberto to the Brazilian team on loan for the 2022/23 season. Goalkeeper Ivan and attacking midfielder Gustavo Mantua will follow in the opposite direction.
— I haven’t followed the Brazilian school for a long time. It is difficult to say whether it is better than ours. But it would be better if the Russians played at the gates at Zenit, ”Championship” quotes Dasaev as saying.
On Wednesday, Zenit CEO Alexander Medvedev told Match TV that three goalkeepers would work in the club’s first team next season: Mikhail Kerzhakov, Daniil Odoevsky and Ivan.
