Thoughts of Shakhtar midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk after win over Dynamo (3-1)
– Did the Ukrainian Clasico turn out to be the way you imagined it?
– Clasico is always an exceptional match, exceptional passion and spirit. I think that the Ukrainian Clasico never has a favourite, chances are always 50/50, because two strongest teams stand against one another.
– You scored against Dynamo at the beginning of the second half. What comments can you give on this goal?
– The Lord gives to those who work. If you practice such shots, sooner or later you will be able to perform them.
– Currently, Shakhtar demonstrate a confident and excellent play, good efficiency. What can you say about this?
– I say that, first of all, it is an accomplishment of the coaching staff doing a great job. Also this is an accomplishment of the players fighting for each other and demonstrating proper football in every match, whether it is the match against Real Madrid or against Metalist or against Dynamo.
– It seems from outside that the secret of success is also in atmosphere within the team.
– Yes, it’s true. This is one of the factors that help us win. As they say, if you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go with the others. Our team is very united, it is good, because atmosphere within the team is transferred both to the pitch and outside of it, so this only benefits us.
– Azovstal heroes were present at the match. What did you feel when you saw them?
– It was unexpected and pleasant to see them. I couldn’t stop smiling, because I am happy that we have such people.
