Ex-Hawkback “Zori” Denys Nagnoiny told that the progress of Volodymyr Brazhek and Arseniy Batagov was largely facilitated by Patrick van Leeuwen’s assistant – Raymond Atteveld.
“He is hardworking. As a person, he is also good, has leadership qualities. At first, I made mistakes in training and games, but gradually I started to gain. Patrick’s assistant Raymond Atteveld helped him and Arseniy Batagov grow as football players. They know it themselves.
He worked with them psychologically. I almost didn’t hit. Well, that’s what I’m saying figuratively. He instilled discipline in them so that they would work harder. He really took care of them and helped them adapt to adult football faster,” said Nagnoiny.
Atteveld was Patrick van Leeuwen’s assistant at Shakhtar and Zora, and during his football career he played a lot of matches for Everton in the Premier League.
