Ex-footballer of Shakhtar Donetsk Oleg Matveev spoke about the transfer of Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Viktor Tsygankov to Spanish Girona.
Oleg Matveev“The Spanish La Liga is a championship just like Tsygankov. I believe that he will progress there. I'm just disappointed with the level of Girona. This is a clear average in the Spanish La Liga. And the transfer amount is only 5 million euros. Yes, there is a percentage of the next resale, but it will not be soon, I think.
I would like to see Victor in teams like Sevilla, Atlético, Valencia. I don't think that Girona will ever be among the leaders. Perhaps Girona has some money, but this is the usual middle peasant in its championship.
Tsygankov had to leave a couple of years ago, when he shone with Khatskevich, and then with Lucescu. I believe that he lost his motivation, and now Tsygankov does not yet look like himself. Remember, under Shevchenko, he regularly played in the starting lineup of the national team, but this was not the case under Petrakov.
But in football, Tsygankov took a step forward. The Spanish Championship is very strong. In Girona, Tsygankov, in my opinion, will not be a clear leader, but he will stand out, ”said Matveev.
