Head coach of Polissia Yurii Kalytvintsev commented on the Zhytomyr club's winter transfers.
Юрій Калитвинцев (фото: polissyafc.com)- "We have been watching these players and when we invited them, we were well aware of their qualities. They arrived in different conditions. But the qualities of these players are very good: individual skill, understanding of the game, and most importantly, the ability to learn. They listen, they try to do what we ask of them.
Yassine Fortune is a player who can play on the left, on the right, and under the striker. He is an attacking player, with a lot of experience, with great psychological stability. When he arrived, his condition was not up to scratch, but his skills were still there. I will say that you don't just play for the French national team of any age.
Denis Ndukwe is our guy, who has always been in front of our eyes, because I have seen almost all of Zvyagel's games, followed him. The guy is very creative, has a very good left foot, and is eager to prove not only to everyone, but first and foremost to himself that he can play at a high level. With the right attitude, and he has the right attitude, I think he should succeed. He wants to score the first goal and he will.
As for Talles, we know very well that this man became a world champion, it speaks volumes. Even getting into the Brazilian national team is difficult, and he became a world champion. He has a great understanding of football and a high football IQ. We also need to pick up a little bit, but it's easy to work with him because our requirements are not new to him. It is still difficult to find a relationship with the players, but every day and with every training session he finds it. What else "bribes" is that games are games, it's just a small test, and I like that he works very well in training.
Wendell joined a little later. It is important for us to get him in the right condition. The man has never played at this level in Ukraine. He looked good for the U-19s: he scored, you can see his good skills, his left foot. He also needs to get fit, but his technique is Brazilian. He has potential, the main thing is to unlock it, and we will try to help.
You can see what the guys want to prove. We don't play with names, we don't play with people who achieved something yesterday. The training camp is a start from scratch. Therefore, the competition is very high and everyone is trying to prove that they are in our team for a reason. So in a nutshell, we have very high-quality players," Kalitvintsev said.
