Former Russian footballer **Vladimir Bystrov** spoke about the performance of Zenit midfielder **Gerson**. The Brazilian has been with the blue-white-blue team since the summer of this year, and his current contract with the club runs until the end of the 2029/2030 season.

“I hope that he will soon get back into shape. He’s being given opportunities, and I hope he will deliver and show himself as the player worth that much money. Perhaps. Malcom also took a while to adjust at Zenit, but once he found his physical fitness, he performed well. He was able to take on defenders one-on-one and scored some fantastic goals. Maybe Gerson will do the same; I just don’t know,” Bystrov remarked in a video on the YouTube channel “Oh, Native Football!”.

Since joining Zenit, Gerson has participated in seven matches of the Russian Premier League and one game in the Fonbet Russian Cup, managing to score one goal.
