Former Lokomotiv defender Rodolfo talked about the Russian language proficiency of Zenit football player Mario Fernandez. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“I am already half Brazilian, half Russian. I didn’t even learn the language from a teacher, but everyone around assured me that I spoke Russian well. It was easy for me, I communicate well in Portuguese. Mario Fernandez? He’s just a very humble person. I played with him in Gremio. The first day he contacts you, the second day he doesn’t, the third day he doesn’t even say hello,” Rodolfo said.
On July 7, Zenit introduced Mario Fernandez as a team player. The parties signed a contract with the 1+1 system. The Brazilian player was injured in the match against Orenburg on September 30.
Before CSKA’s last match of the 2021/22 season, it was learned that Fernandez, the 31-year-old former defender of the Russian national team, decided to take an indefinite break from his career. At the beginning of 2023, he was transferred to Brazilian Internacional as part of the “gentlemen’s agreement” he made with the army team.
