Luis Enrique, acclaimed as 'King of America', joins 'Zenit', boosting hopes for upcoming competitions.

In an interview on 'Match TV', Igor Korneev, formerly of the Russian national team, emphasized that the new addition to 'Zenit', Luis Enrique, showcases exceptional individual strength. Earlier this week, the club announced the signing of Luis Enrique from 'Botafogo', recognized as the 'King of America'. In return, Arthur will move in winter and Wendel in summer.

— Luis Enrique stands out for his individual power, rapid play, and dribbling skills. He can create a goal from nothing, — Korneev remarked on the show 'All for the Match!'.

Last season, the 24-year-old Enrique participated in 55 matches for 'Botafogo', scoring 12 goals and making six assists. He helped win the Brazil championship and the Libertadores Cup. On Friday, 'Zenit' will face the Jordan team as part of the WINLINE WINTER SERIES.
