Former defender of the capital CSKA and the USSR national team, Vladimir Ponomarev, in an interview with socialbites.ca, said that Kazakh midfielder Baktier Zainutdinov, who will soon play in Istanbul Beşiktaş, is remembered for his versatility.
At the same time, according to the expert, the player of the Kazakhstan national team did not play outstandingly for the army club.
“Baktier was remembered for the fact that he was pushed into any hole. He played on the left wing, centre, midfield and defense – wherever he played. Made mediocre, three plus. Not a high profile player.
The average player can make a good pass, but very rarely. He has a good left hand but rarely used it. He is not suitable for CSKA, Spartak or Dynamo, ”Ponomarev said.
On 11 August, insider Ivan Karpov reported on Telegram channel that CSKA and Beşiktaş have agreed on a deal for Zainutdinov. The Russian club received €5 million + 15% of the player’s subsequent resale amount.
Formerly Vladimir Ponomarev praised CSKA for sale of Zainutdinov to Beşiktaş.
