Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Poklonskyi, who worked with Valentyn Rubchynskyi at Dnipro-1, shared his thoughts on whether his former player will be able to play for Dynamo.
Oleksandr Poklonsky- "I would never have thought in my life that he would join Dynamo. It seems to me that Shakhtar, which controls the ball more, might have been a better fit for him in terms of his style of play. But I also compared him to Zavarov. Perhaps he will just fit in at Dynamo, and everything will be fine. Anything can happen. Although I thought he would play in another team.
Valik has already grown as a footballer. He has already proved himself. I think that with his character, patience and everything else, he will be able to win a place in the Dynamo team. If he does, he will become a star of our football. He will definitely be. It's just that Dynamo Kyiv and Dnipro are different teams. But, on the other hand, the players who played well at Dnipro also showed their worth at Dynamo. For example, Protasov and Lytovchenko.
Given what he has been through, I think he will do well. Moreover, it's the Olympics now. I honestly don't understand and would probably break the arms and legs of these officials who don't let players go to the Olympics. "Polissya", which did not let Nazarenko go. All this makes me angry and aggressive. Woe to the officials and coaches. People go to the Olympics to glorify Ukraine. Honestly, some clowns who are fighting for some European cups and don't let the players go. This is another topic, of course.
But the Olympics is like the World and European Championships. It's a great platform for Ukraine to show all that we can do, what kind of nation we are. In addition, it is a great platform for football players to show and sell themselves.
Valentyn knows why he went there - to play for Ukraine. But I wish him and the entire national team good luck and victories. I wish him to believe in himself and the team, and everything will be fine," Poklonsky said.
