Andriy Polunin: "I highly approve of Kabaev's invitation to the national team, he is stronger even than Mudryk"

Former Ukrainian national team player Andriy Polunin criticized some of Serhiy Rebrov's personnel decisions before the September matches of the League of Nations.

- There are stronger players in Ukraine, but Rebrov made his choice and continues to rely on Malinowski and Sydorchuk. In my opinion, this is the past of the national team. The future belongs to guys like Nazarenko and Hutsulyak. By the way, I really approve of Kabaev's invitation, he is stronger even than Mudryk. Because this hyped player can't show his good game in any way. Mudryk should be invited to the national team only after he finally shines at Chelsea. The team played brightly and created a lot of goal-scoring chances.

As for the chances in the League of Nations, the Ukrainians are quite capable of taking first place in the group. At the same time, our team can finish fourth, because all teams are equal. We need to approach each match as if it were the last battle, and we will have a result," the expert is sure.
