Famous manager and expert Vyacheslav Zahovaylo assessed the prospects of Vladislav Vanat in the Spanish Girona and Georgiy Sudakov in the Portuguese Benfica.
“Sudakov has joined a club where he can truly flourish. It would have been worse for him if he had moved to the Italian or English leagues. But the Portuguese league suits Sudakov’s playing style. A couple of months ago, I was at Benfica, watching several matches of the Portuguese league, and I can say — it’s very good that Georgiy ended up there. I believe he will benefit the team and has every chance to prove himself there.
As for Vanat, it will be much more difficult for him. This is not so much about Vanat himself but rather about the squad of Girona, which is currently being completely rebuilt, there are a lot of new players who will need time to settle in and will be out of balance for a long time.
Whether Vanat can show his abilities in this situation will be seen over time. But in principle, the Spanish league suits Vladislav. He will be playing in La Liga against Real Madrid, Barcelona, and other strong clubs. This is good for him as a footballer and for the national team as well. The most important thing is that Vanat gets game practice,” Zahovaylo said.
