“Football has become a spectacle”

Famous coach Oleg Fedorchuk commented on the transfer of Artem Milevsky to Minai.

“I have known Milevsky in absentia since 2001. When I was creating Nafkom, Pavel Yakovenko, in parallel, organized an academy in Dynamo.

I saw how Artem Milevsky and Alexander Aliev played for the Borisfen-2 regional championship, and then there was Dynamo. Specialists and fans expected much more from Milevsky, so there is a disappointment that such a talent was not fully revealed.

If we go back to the current reality, Milevsky’s invitation to Minaj will help the club more in terms of its image than the team itself. To attract attention, a small club must have an ambiguous president, as in Rukh or Ingulets, or a mentor with a name (Vasily Kobin, with all due respect for him, is still a long way off), or a well-known player. Here “Minaj” and chose the third option, as the same “Kolos”. Although I don’t think Seleznyov added anything to Kovalev’s team. Penalty and without it, you could find someone to break …

No offense to Milevsky, but because of his age, Artyom won’t be able to push Minaj to better results. It is not necessary to go very far to give such an example. You may remember the Lvov PR movement, when the club signed Vladislav Vashchuk in 2008, but the renowned defender stayed there for only a few months …

“Minaj” declares their ambitions to compete for the European Cup zone, and I think they will be able to stay in the Premier League. Milevsky’s invitation once again confirms the fact that football has long become a spectacle. During the quarantine, I watched the Belarusian championship, but could not endure more than three rounds. Their Major League can’t even be compared to the Ukrainian First League. A very gloomy outlook … And did the footballer of this championship come to raise the quality of the game in the national Premier League? Paradox.

Once again, from a public relations point of view, such a move will pay off for Minaj. Yes, I do not exclude the possibility that in some matches Artem Milevsky may shine, but if we take it globally, the former striker of the Ukrainian team will no longer become the diesel locomotive of the team, the main thing is that the player does not become a dining car, ”said Fedorchuk.
