Shakhtar midfielder Oleksandr Pikhalyonok reflects on the test game vs Obolon-Brovar and the upcoming league fixture vs Dynamo
- We held a great friendly match instead of training. The 4-0 scoreline is logical. I guess we’ll be fully prepared for the game against Dynamo. Everyone’s missing competitive games, we look forward to them.
- You returned to the pitch after a serious injury and eight months of your absence. How are you feeling?
- Everything’s good. I have recovered and am ready to benefit the team.
- What tasks do the coaching staff set for your roles of the holding midfielder and number eight?
- The usual requirements, just like for every other midfielder: to quickly reverse attacks and back each other.
- The team have trained as a group for just a fortnight now. Was that time enough for you not only to prepare physically, but also to remember all the tactical stuff?
- We’ve definitely practised all those tactical elements. Fitness wise, I guess, we’ll get fully ready by the match against Dynamo.
