It will soon be five years since I moved to Russia. From the very beginning, I have felt at home in this country. At first, I lived in Sochi, and I’ve been living very comfortably in Saint Petersburg for a while now. My family is happy here; it is very important for us that we feel safe here.
"We enjoy living in such a beautiful city. It’s nice to live, walk, and go out here. Of course, as a man, when you understand your loved ones feel comfortable, you feel happy and develop a special bond with the place where you live,” said Cassierra.
The Colombian has played in Russia since the 2021-22 season. Before joining Zenit in summer 2022, he played for Sochi, winning second place in the Russian Premier League. With the Saint Petersburg team, Cassierra has won two championship titles.
