Midfielder West Ham Andrei Yarmolenko spoke about the speeds in the Premier League, as well as the difference between the arbitrators in Ukraine and in England.

"The Premier League is the strongest league in the world, which is not easy to play. I thought so before moving to West Ham - and after moving to England I was only convinced of this.. When they said that in the Premier League huge speed, I did not believe. I did not think that they may differ from the same Champions League, in which I spent enough matches. But in my first game at West Ham, against Everton, I almost choked in the 20th minute. Of course, adaptation was still taking place, in the previous four fights I did not go out at the start. However, I actually understood why they say that about speed in an NPS.. When you spend a few matches, it becomes easier ", - said Yarmolenko.

"Also, local referees do not interfere with playing football, small fouls do not whistle. If we compare the championships of England and Ukraine, then we have the violations recorded more often, the whistle on the whistle. How do the guys play in such conditions?

This is no longer football, but walking, "the FFU press service quotes Yarmolenko as saying.

This season, Yarmolenko took to the field in 10 games for West Ham, in which he scored two goals. The Ukrainian was injured in the game with Tottenham and, according to the forecasts of the doctors, he will miss six months.
