Former Italian Roma forward Ruggero Rizzatielli shared his thoughts on the Ukrainian striker of his former team Artem Dovbik.
Ruggero Rizzatielli“Everyone faces difficulties in the first months of the championship, but over time, patience runs out. Dovbik currently looks even worse than at the beginning of the season. I never see him engaged; he seems disoriented and not very attentive to what is happening around him.
Is there a need for help for Dovbik from his teammates? No, in this case, that’s nonsense. If I’m not getting good passes, I ‘get mad’ at everyone; if I see that I’m not getting crosses, I shout, but I go and take the ball. But here I see that Dovbik is always alone. He never waits for the opponent's mistake; he always needs perfect balls. These are the little things that matter a lot.
I also scored little, but my attitude inspired my teammates. Every striker goes through moments of crisis from time to time, but he must at least try. Even when Dovbik makes a passive press, he is not convincing and just wastes energy. If he doesn’t change his attitude, no one will save him,” said Rizzatielli to TMW, referencing Gazzetta dello Sport.
