Hulk feeling the pressure of his €55 million price tag at Zenit

Record Zenit St Petersburg signing Hulk has revealed he has been feeling under pressure ever since his multi-million euro move to the Russian outfit.

The Brazil striker has scored once in five league appearances since his €55 million switch from Porto over the summer, and the powerful attacker has conceded he is suffering under the strain of living up to the price tag.

"I'm feeling pressured," the 26-year-old was quoted as saying by AS. "Today, I notice that I feel more pressure than when I arrived at Zenit, but I always try to keep my feet on the ground.

"Nevertheless, I am happy to be at this club."

LOLFLOP

Should have moved to a better club imo.

I'm sure he'll do well at Zenit though.

South American youngster moving to Russia of all places - yeah, that'll go well.

Okay, not a guaranteed flop, he'll still be fine I reckon, but how much say did he have in that move? Were the terms so awesome? Because if I were him, I'd have gunned for somewhere with less of a culture shock looming.

It was about the money.
I mean Hulk... a top rated player linked to such big clubs and some Russian team comes out of no where and snatches him up?

Yes, it was all about the money. Hulk could have gone just about anywhere else.

Let's be real, he "pulled a Dzsudzsák" ...

Weird transfer tbh...

No disrespect zo Zenit but he could join a better team.

sold him for $70m to Barcelona in my career manager mode on fifa 13, yes I am manager of Zenit

nice piece of business that was
