Everton head coach Frank Lampard commented on the game of the Ukrainian defender Vitaliy Mykolenko in the match of the 6th round of the Premier League against Liverpool (0:0).
“I have to give a lot of praise to both fullbacks, each in their own way. As for Mikolenko, we cannot imagine what he has to deal with off the field. He handles it incredibly well considering what's going on at his house.
When I came here, he was not here for long. I had a question: "Is Mikolenko fit for this league?" I sat and talked with him, watched his game a lot last year.
It was to show the reasons why we signed it. And I saw how he improved in defense and attack in the game. Today he confronted one of the best - Salah. I think Mikolenko had an outstanding match against him,” Lampard said in a comment to the Daily Mail.
Молодец, Виталик!
