"Ihor Surkis would not be Ihor Surkis if he did not return Andriy Yarmolenko" - journalist

Well-known journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko talks about the possible return of free agent Andriy Yarmolenko to Dynamo Kyiv.

"Ihor Surkis would not be Ihor Surkis if he did not bring back Andriy Yarmolenko. For Igor Mikhailovich, there are concepts of "his own" and "Dynamo player", although in modern football all these concepts have long been levelled. At one time, Andriy Shevchenko and Serhiy Rebrov came back to play. A priori, Yarmolenko could not avoid the same fate. Now we just have to figure out what will happen?

I think that neither Ihor Surkis, nor Mircea Lucescu, nor Andriy Yarmolenko himself knows the answer. Everyone hopes that Yarmolenko's experience and class will help at the level of this championship, but life will tell. Sheva's arrival in 2009 had more negative consequences. The atmosphere within the team fell apart. There was a player whose authority was higher than that of the coach. He always needed to be put on, to find a place on the pitch, and he didn't always train. Yuriy Semin lost control of the team....

It was a bit different with Rebrov. He didn't play for a long time at all. He was holding on to his contract with West Ham. In his home team, he quickly regained his fitness. The club wanted him to stay on, to build a team around his experience, but Rebrov very quickly went back to work in Kazan.

I can definitely say that Yarmola's return is not a far-sighted prospect. This is a player who should give the team class and experience. To teach young players to play better," Serhii wrote on Facebook.
