Zabarnyi, it’s serious!

“We are precise about the players we sign, each player has a different adaptation time. I’m not concerned about the players we signed over the summer. ». Asked about Illya Zabarnyi on Thursday during the PSG press, Luis Enrique made reassuring suggestions on the defense of the 23-year-old Ukraine. The next step is in the plans of the Asturias coach and has three matches in the row on the bench.

Friday evening for the clash on the pitch at Stade Rennais, four days before the Champions League play-off against AS Monaco, Zabarnyi had his chance at kick-off, in place of Marquinhos in the central hinge. This turned into a slump for the Parisians, beaten 3-1 by the Rouge et Noir, and for the player recruited for 67 million euros (bonus included) at Bournemouth last summer.

Willian Pacho was initially overwhelmed by Rennes’ opening score in the first period by Mousa Al-Tamari (33rd). Zabarnyi’s fever was evident in the second half. The 1.89m rock, launched after the start of the season, got an opportunity from Arnaud Nordin and slipped on a harmless clearance from Brice Samba (46th).

Zabarnyi in the top 10 biggest recruits

What happens next is nightmarish. Illya Zabarnyi was not marking Esteban Lepaul on the corner but he was beaten in the air by the former Angers scorer for 2-0 (69th). To the grandmother of Matvey Safonov, Russian guard with his debut for the first time at PSG… Then the Ukrainian did not know how to play offside on the third but you SRFC registered by Breel Embolo on a service from Ludovic Blas (81st).

With this kind of questionable performance – he is the 9th most expensive player in PSG history – Ilya Zabarnyi should not leave the sidelines any time soon, especially in Champions League matches and important league outings. RC Lens is visible alongside Paris FC, the same day. The Parisians have participated in three league matches with Dynamo kyiv’s defensive form on the pitch.
