The famous Italian coach Fabio Capello, speaking about the potential of Atalanta, did not fail to mention the Ukrainian midfielder of this team Ruslan Malinovsky.
“Atalanta has everything to please us next season as well. Even taking into account the fact that the team will not play in European competitions.
The highlight of Atalanta is in Zapata's tandem - Malinovsky. There are no questions about the Colombian: if he is in shape, then we are talking about a perfect, versatile forward. He both scores goals for every taste and gives assists. As for Malinowski, he has finally adapted to Italian football, but he can give Atalanta even more,” said Capello.
Last season, Malinovsky played 41 matches for Atalanta in all competitions (he started 28 of them as a starter), scoring 10 goals and providing 7 assists.
