Former Lviv Karpaty midfielder Ihor Khudobyak commented on the scoring success of Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk in the 1-1 UEFA Europa League match against Athletic Bilbao.
Igor Khudobyak"It is very nice that the Ukrainian forward has such statistics in Europe - a goal in the third match in a row. I think that the reason for this is that after the arrival of the new coach, the atmosphere at the club changed, which helped Dovbyk a little bit. Yes, he began to understand his partners more, and his partners now understand him, time has passed, they have played together.
Artem scored a very cool goal against Athletic Bilbao after a cross from the left defender. I think the coach is pleased with his actions, and replaced him because he gives other forwards a chance to prove themselves. Artem is a good fit for Roma, I think he would suit many top clubs in Europe that need such a center forward. Dovbyk looks a little bit like Lukaku, maybe smaller, but they have something similar.
I had no doubts about Dovbyk's transfer to Roma, Artem thought this decision through, weighed it up, and it doesn't matter because he scores goals, helps the team and brings value. If he continues to do this, he can move to Atletico and any other top club. If he keeps scoring like he did in the previous three games, he will probably score about 40 goals in a season (Laughs). But in fact, I think Dovbyk should have scored 20 goals, or rather more than 20," Khudobyak said.
