Former Luxembourg and Ajaccio player and now television analyst Maxim Shano expressed a critical opinion about the performance of the Ukrainian defender of PSG Ilya Zabarny in the match of the 17th round of Ligue 1 with Paris, which ended in victory with a score of 2:1.

“He also played terrible football in the Champions League. For example, in the match with Bayer. And in the last French Cup match with Fontaine, he was regularly beaten when the ball was behind him.

They talk about adaptation, but he played with a third division team. I understand that the French championship is different from the English one, again, it came from England, and not from Venus or Saturn – football is still football.

When you see that he has problems every time if the ball is behind his back, especially considering the amount for which he was bought… He has room to develop, because he is still young, but for six months now we have been hearing talk that he needs to adapt,” said Shano on the After Foot program.

Let us remember that Zabarny came to PSG from Bournemouth last summer.
