Former Karpaty Lviv Coach Praises Maccabi Haifa's Bruninho but Notes His Self-Doubt

Bruninho, who recently joined Maccabi Haifa after the club pursued him for some time, continues to be a topic of discussion in Ukraine. Fran Fernandez, his former coach at Karpaty Lviv, expressed mixed feelings about the Brazilian midfielder's professional development. Fernandez described Bruninho as a special and versatile player but noted that he still lacks full confidence in his abilities. "If he believed in himself more, I think he would already be playing in top leagues like Spain or Italy," Fernandez said.

The coach praised Bruninho as the most talented player he has ever coached but acknowledged areas for improvement. He is confident that with growth, Bruninho will soon compete in one of the leading European leagues. Fernandez also commented on the challenge Karpaty Lviv faces replacing Bruninho, emphasizing the difficulty of finding players of his caliber in the transfer market. He highlighted the importance of team play and the club's strategy to bring in new players to compensate for Bruninho's departure.

Bruninho's move to Maccabi Haifa marks a significant step in his career, with expectations that he will develop further and attract attention from top-tier European clubs in the near future.
