Famous commentator Viktor Vatsko does not understand why Serhiy Rebrov regularly calls up Shakhtar defender Valeriy Bondar to the national team of Ukraine.
— I cannot understand why Valeriy Bondar is in the national team. I won’t say that he is weak or bad. I just cannot understand why you stubbornly call up a player that you do not believe in, that you do not trust, who you are not counting on — it would be better for him to sit at home with his family. In two years, Bondar has played one game — a friendly match against Poland. That’s it, the fourth central defender after Zabarniy, Matviyenko, and Talovierov," said Vatsko on his authorial program on YouTube.
