Napoli’s Rafa Marin on Dovbyk: “He’s very strong.” | OneFootball

Napoli’s new defender, Rafa Marin, reacted to Roma’s announcement of Artem Dovbyk’s signing.

The ex-Real Madrid man recounted his experience in guarding La Liga’s top goal-scorer from last season.

The two faced off on a couple of occasions and will soon battle again in Serie A.

“Dovbyk is very strong,” Marin told reporters during his introductory press conference.

“I played against him in two games. He is quick and has a lot of pace, he plays well from with his back to the goal and in the air,” he said.
