Andriy Yarmolenko will play in England | News about Gazeta.ua

Ukrainian footballer Andrey Yarmolenko aged 28, went from German "Borussia" to English "Westhem". He signed the contract for four years. The amount of the transfer amounts to 25 million euros – 768 million USD. That's what "Borussia" paid for at Dynamo Kyiv last August when it moved to Dortmund.

From the first matches, Andrew showed the class in Germany. Marked the goals, gave the transfer. He immediately became a leading player in the team. But in the second half of the season, almost did not play due to injury.

– I think Yarmolenko was not lucky, – says Andrey Shakhov 48-year-old, deputy editor of the magazine "Football". – He was invited by coach Peter Bos in his understanding of the game. Our compatriot for the Netherlands coach looked good in the team. But after a series of bad luck, Boss retired. His place was occupied by the Austrian Peter Shteger. He played in football opposite to Boss's. Extreme midfielders had a lot to work on defense. In such a model Yarmolenko did not fit. The second half of the season was ruined by a serious injury.

Shtegera is no longer in the team. His place was occupied by the Swiss Lucian Favre. He was successful in Germany with Gerta and Borussia from Mönchengladbach. His commandments were still attacking. The thing is not just in the coach. "Borussia" is a club that is used to making money on transfers. The club management understands that it's almost impossible to compete with "Bavaria" because of different financial opportunities. Therefore, it is necessary to educate and sell players for the richest clubs. Yarmolenko does not fit into such a scheme.

Andrei's position in Dortmund is an American of Croatian origin Christian Puliichich, 19 . They are already interested in leading European clubs today. In late May, Borussia bought Armin Wolf, a direct competitor of Yarmolenko

Currently, the English Premier League is the strongest of the European Championships.

Even the underdogs and the means can afford the acquisition of high class players. Our best strikers – Shevchenko, Voronin, Rebrov have never been able to open in England

West Ham – a team with huge ambitions and good financial abilities. In the new season with his will will work the Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini. At one point, he coached Manchester City, playing in the 2015/16 Champions League semi-finals. That same season, in the round of 16, "MC" resisted Dynamo. Perhaps in these matches Pellegrini has drawn attention to Yarmolenko.

"West Gem" is a project with money, but without understanding how to spend it, – says the columnist of English football Serhiy Babarika, 39 years old . – They are trying to reach the top 7 in the Premier League. Last summer, good players – Chicharito, Marka Arnautovicha – were acquired. But they left coach Slavin Bilich, who has already exhausted his own. This led to the failure of the season. With the invitation, Pellegrini will build a new team. Andrew's style is suited to English football. Only he must have a perfect physical training. In the manner of the game Yarmolenko is similar to the leader of "West Ham" Arnautovich.

West Ham finished last season in 13th place in the Premier League.
