Uzbek coach Boris Ignatyev, known for his experience with the national team, shared his thoughts on forward Anton Zabolotny's transfer to Moscow's Spartak club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, today, the quality of a young player's game is not a crucial factor. For example, players like Messi and Ronaldo have not lost their abilities on the field.
The important thing is how the player prepares himself and how he accepts the demands placed on him. Ignatyev spoke about this to Betonmobile publication.
Anton Zabolotny played for the Khimki team near Moscow last season. He has also made a name for himself in previous years with CSKA and Zenit teams.
Last season, he played in 29 matches in the Russian Premier League, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists. The Transfermarkt portal estimates his market value at 700,000 euros for the 34-year-old forward.
This figure indicates that the player is still competitive and performing well. Additionally, his transfer to Spartak is an important move for the club, helping to strengthen the team's attacking line.
The coach believes that the player's work on himself and professional approach will ensure his future successes.
