Shakhtar midfielder Heorhii Sudakov talked about the win over Veres, schedule of the team and the UEFA Europa League knockout round play-off draw
– Congratulations! Were three points in the game against Veres easy?
– Thank you for congratulations. No, they were not. We have no easy matches, especially when all teams in the championship fight and get up for us very seriously. It is very hard in matchups with the opponents who do not play themselves and hold us back from playing as well, who drop deep, and we have to unlock their defence throughout the game. We didn’t have any easy matches so far.
– Do such victories bring joy or are they taken for granted?
– We want to become champions, so we have to win in every match. It’s doesn’t matter whether we play against Dynamo, Dnipro-1or Veres because we can earn three points for every win. We get ready for all opponents. We are hungry for victories.
– Describe the moment of you earning a penalty.
– Frankly speaking, I do not remember this episode well. They stepped on my foot and the referee awarding a penalty kick.
– How was the performer chosen? It seemed like Traore was ready to take responsibility at first.
– We have many players who are able to perform a spot-kick, but Mykhailo did it. The main thing is that the ball was netted.
– Do you feel that the schedule became a lot easier after the UCL?
– I cannot say that it became easier because we have been living in a hotel without our families for three month already. We are tired psychologically and physically. Now we play a match every four days and we have to win in every of them if we want to take first spots and become champions. We have to withstand, prepare ourselves and give one hundred percent because there are only two weeks left.
– What emotions did you have after the Europa League knockout round play-off draw? What can you say about Rennes?
– To tell the truth, I cannot say anything about Rennes. Now all my thoughts are about Zorya.
