Sergei Puchkov: "Zabarny should play for Bormunt. But this is a difficult period for him".

Renowned Ukrainian coach Serhiy Puchkov has assessed the prospects of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarny, who moved to this club from Dynamo Kyiv last winter, at Bournemouth.

"If our UPL guys are invited to play in England, it is clear that their level is rather high. I take it all on a positive note. Well done, they promote our football in the international arena.

As for Zabarny, he is a player who suits the English style. A young guy with good physical data. I think he should play in Bormunt. It`s a difficult period for him - he didn`t go out, he had injury. We will see. The most important thing is that he should not take too long to adjust to English club.

In general, if you look at it, the most talented of our guys go to England: Mudrik, Zabarnyy, Yarmolyuk. In England, we have the most powerful championship in the world. There are great speed, struggle in every part of the field, the game at the top. They could, for example, play in Germany, but there are not as many top clubs as in England. "Bayern, plus a couple of other teams. But in Spain, where football is based mainly on technique, there is much less demand for our boys," FanDay quoted Puchkov as saying.
