“Dovbik seems disconnected from any scheme and teamwork,” — former Roma forward

Legendary forward of the Italian “Roma” Roberto Pruzzo, who played for the club for ten years (1978−1988), compared two forwards from his former club — Ukrainian Artem Dovbik and Irishman Evan Ferguson.

“I have seen how Ferguson works hard for the team, and now he just needs to gain confidence, and for that, he needs goals. So far, he is managing with that. A forward needs to score.

Dovbik is the complete opposite of Ferguson. He seems disconnected from any scheme and teamwork. On the other hand, if he receives the ball in a certain way, he can even decide the fate of the match. That is why it is so important to get him back in the lineup (this season, “Roma” has played three matches so far, and in two of them Dovbik came on as a substitute shortly before the final whistle, and in the third, he did not appear on the field at all, — ed. note),” — TMW cites Pruzzo’s words.
