Oleksandr Sevidov: "Bilovar reminds me of Onopko"

Famous Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Sevidov shared his thoughts on Dynamo Kyiv centre-back Kristian Bilovar.

- There is a lot of talk about Bilovar now. This is understandable, as there is a shortage of central defenders in our football in general, and in Dynamo in particular. Based on the games I've seen, it's very difficult to draw his portrait. He reminds me of Onopko in terms of his body constitution: long legs, wiry.

We used to run in the athletics arena at Avangard before the season as Shakhtar's double. Vitya and I paired up for 30 metres. That's how I read what was written on his back. If a man with such long legs accelerates, he can get to any player. I don't like to praise, so that later I don't tear my hair out again and shout: why did you leave him in the team? We need to give him time. I think he will be kept," Sevidov said on the Feints and Picks programme.
