The head coach of English Bournemouth, Andoni Iraola, evaluated the progress of the Ukrainian defender of his team, Ilya Zabarny.
“Zaba has become very, very reliable. Sometimes we don’t realize how young he is (Zabarny turned 22 in September — ed. note). He doesn’t talk too much, but when he does, you have to listen. When he has something to say, it is usually important,” quotes Iraola as saying to The Telegraph.
As a reminder, Zabarny has been recognized as the best Ukrainian legionnaire of 2024.
