– Can the stories of Zabarny and Mykolenko give an example for young defenders at the Academy “Dynamo”?
– Yes, of course, I think that in Ukraine they are an example for many young defenders. When a person plays an APL, this is the highest level in the football world.
-Did they stand out from others at a young age?
– I think so. They were stronger than their colleagues by positions. They played a lot, showed themselves well, demonstrated a good level, advocated the national team of Ukraine. Due to the fact that the team played in the Champions League, they gained enough experience in Dynamo, so now they are stable in good results in the APL.
– What did Elijah Zabarny remember during the speeches for “Dynamo”?
– The fact that he played as if he were not 20 years old, but as an experienced central defender, who spent a large number of matches and knows how to do almost everything in his position, – he recalled pain.
Elijah Zabarny in 2023 moved to the English Bornemouth for 22.7 million euros, where he spends the third season. In the 2024/25 campaign, the Ukrainian defender played in 27 championship matches, but no effective actions were noted.
