Zenit player reveals chats with Gerson, shares warning from Ancelotti | OneFootball

Gerson was left out of the latest call-up for the Brazilian National Team

Gerson left Flamengo in the last transfer window to become a player for Zenit, in Russia. Since leaving the red-and-black team, the midfielder has not been called up again for the Brazilian National Team. However, Luiz Henrique, his teammate at the Russian club, pointed out that he has been talking to the former Mengão player, and that Carlo Ancelotti said he is watching all the athletes for future call-ups.

— We talk every day. Gerson and I say we have to keep ourselves at 100% because Carlo Ancelotti has already told us he is watching all the players. It doesn't matter if the player is in Russia or in England — said Luiz Henrique, Gerson's teammate at Zenit (RUS).

— He (Carlo Ancelotti) has already said he is watching everyone. Gerson and I say we have to stay focused, because the opportunity will always come. It's not just because we're in Russia, no. We are being watched — concluded the Zenit player.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo sold Gerson at the beginning of July to Zenit. The Russian team had to open their wallet to complete the signing of the midfielder and paid the release clause. In total, the Most Beloved received 25 million euros (R$ 160 million at the exchange rate at the time) in cash.

However, the move to Russian football was not good for Gerson. Since moving to Europe, the former Flamengo player has not been called up to the Brazilian National Team. The athlete was even a starter for Brazil under Carlo Ancelotti's command.

WHEN DOES THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM PLAY?

Thus, without Gerson, the Brazilian National Team will take the field this Tuesday (9), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), against Bolivia, away from home, in a match valid for the World Cup Qualifiers. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match.
