After yesterday's match of the 33rd round of the Italian Serie A, in which "Atalanta" midfielders of the national team of Ukraine Ruslan Malinovskyi and Victor Kovalenko smashed Bologna on their own field - 5:0, the head coach of the Bergamo club Gian Piero Gasperini commented on the actions of Malinowski, who scored a goal (third in a row) and a successful pass.

"Malinowski came to us as a real midfielder, but I asked him to change his role a bit. He had a period of adaptation, but at the beginning of his career in Italy, Ruslan showed his skills. First of all - during strikes on the opponent's goal. Now he has become an atypical striker who gives a lot of effective passes, but also manages to score goals. This year he had problems with coronavirus and injury, but now he has overcome everything and is really brilliant at the end of the season, "- UEFA Gasperini site "Atalanta".
