Writing a New History: Andriy Yarmolenko at West Ham

Andriy Yarmolenko joined the team a few weeks ago, coming from Borussia Dortmund. It is the club’s fifth signing of the summer of 2018. Let’s take a closer look at this player.

Wycombe Wanderers vs. West Ham. John Busby takes a look at his watch. There is a starting whistle. The game is underway. This is the first game for the new signing Andriy Yarmolenko.

You can call him the second Andriy Shevchenko or the heir to the throne, but the meaning is the same. He is really good. He is the second top scorer of the Ukrainian National team with 35 goals in 76 games. I suppose you know who is the first one.

He has 137 goals under his belt, scored when he was wearing the Kyiv shirt. There are only three men surpassing him – Serhiy Rebrov, Oleg Blokhin and Maksim Shatskikh. Quite a good company, isn’t it?

Yarmolenko is the playmaker, the right-wing midfielder, but not the striker. Left-footed Andriy is perfect at cutting inside from the right flank, which reminds us of the special moves of Arjen Robben.

If you have never watched his game, you could learn more about him from this review by a sports expert at the Cheap Essay Writing Service online company.

So, let’s witness how the history of the English Premier League is getting written.

Everyone in Ukraine expected Yarmolenko’s transfer to Milan after Euro 2012, but Ihor Surkis, the president of Dynamo, had a different opinion in spite of countless rumours. Andriy played for Dynamo for five years more. It seems like he was waiting for a special offer to thank the club with a high transfer fee.

It did not take long to see the results though. In the summer of 2017, by making a brilliant career in Dynamo, Andriy has proven that he deserves to play for one of the top teams in the Champions League – for Borussia Dortmund. 27 is a great age for a football player to start a new life, isn’t it?

So, what did we see in the new Bundesliga season?

Flair and pace. The first match with Tottenham brought the first goal and assist. Unfortunately, that magic goal did not help the team.

The four other matches brought four more assists. Fans were delighted by Andriy’s performances on the right wing as well as by his ability to be everywhere at the same time, literally.

In the interview, he said he did not consider himself to be as quick as, for example, Pulisic or Aubameyang in the team. So, there is always room for improvement. And he did work on his skills to keep getting faster all the time.

But the whole season turned out to be very tough for him. For the first six months, it seemed all great. But then Andriy got injured, and during the second half of the season, he could not score. But West Ham and Mario Husillos were quick enough to point out his goal against Tottenham in the Champions League.

A lot of fans that were really disappointed that BVB let Andriy go, but I think The Hammers will take a good care of him.

Now we are pleased to welcome him in West Ham and the English Premier League. His speed, dribbling, fancy footwork, rampaging eagerness and eye-catching debut look promising. A 4-2-3-1 formation isn’t new to him, but we still can see that sometimes he fails to make passes into space. But let’s give him some time to adjust.

What did we see in the match with Wycombe Wanderers? He tried to evade the tackle, dodge, shot on target and looked very composed. Is it enough? No, it isn’t, I think.

But we also saw an assist in the match with Preston. Wilshere looked good in that “number ten” role. Arnautovic was great, and Yarmolenko was a real problem for Preston whenever he got the ball. And I think that Arnautovic linked up well with Yarmolenko. So, I hope next time on Twitter we will see something like ‘Take a bow, Andriy.’

We know he will be doing his best on the football pitch and hope to see magnificent games that will get us out of the seats. And what we need to remember is that he is not the second Shevchenko, he is the first Yarmolenko.
