Former USSR and CSKA national team player Vladimir Ponomaryov commented on striker Anton Zabolotny's transfer to the capital's "Spartak" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The player joined the new team as a free agent. According to Ponomaryov, Zabolotny's adaptation to Spartak's style may be difficult, as he does not understand this style well.
He noted that the player might have been brought in to play in the last 10-15 minutes. Last season, Zabolotny played for the "Khimki" team near Moscow, but the club went bankrupt due to financial difficulties.
In the Russian Premier League, he played in 29 matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists. The Transfermarkt website estimates the 34-year-old striker's value at approximately 700,000 euros.
At the same time, it is still unclear what role Zabolotny will play in his new team and how he will benefit "Spartak." The player will try to help the team with his experience, but adapting to the new style may take time.
Team fans and experts are closely monitoring his opportunities. More information about his performance will emerge in the near future.
