Zenit’s former head coach, Vlastimil Petrzhela, expressed the opinion that the team’s striker from the shores of Neva Malkom should leave the team to play in major tournaments for the Brazilian national team. Transmits words “RB Sports”.
“Malcom calling the Brazilian national team for friendly matches is progress. But everyone understands that if he wants to play for the national team in major tournaments, he must leave Zenit. If Petrzhela stays in Russia, he will not be called up to the national team, because no one watches the RPL and Zenit does not participate in European competitions, ”said Petrzhela.
Recall that Zenit, in connection with the birth of his son, allowed the player to leave the team early and return to his hometown in Brazil.
Malcom moved from Barcelona to Zenit in 2019. During his time in Russia, he managed to become four times Russian Premier League (RPL) champion, once winning the Cup and three times the country’s Super Cup. His contract with the blue-whites continues until the summer of 2027.
Boris Ignatiev, former coach of Lokomotiv Moscow and the Russian national team declarationThat Malcolm deserved a move to the best club in Europe.
