Former Shakhtar Donetsk and Zorya Luhansk head coach Patrick van Leeuwen has noted the tangible progress of Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Volodymyr Brazhko.

If we look at Brazhko, we just see that he is a machine. Physically, he has all the qualities that a supporting midfielder should have. He is skilful on the ball, is functionally fit, plays with his left foot, right foot, possesses a good pass, is not afraid to receive the ball under pressure.
Yes, perhaps Brazko has a lack of experience. Sometimes he wants to give that final pass in a situation where he can play more calmly, get possession of the ball, wait for a more convenient moment. But the experience of training and playing at Dynamo helped him a lot," van Leeuwen said on the YouTube channel TaToTake.
