Commentary of Shakhtar defender Bohdan Mykhailichenko after the victorious match against Metalist 1925 (7-0)
– What contributed to today's crushing victory: a good analysis of the opponents, an early first goal or something else?
– I think an early goal, because it is very important to score first and quickly: the whole game changes immediately – the opponents lose confidence, and it is easier for us to play. So an early goal helped us make it 7-0.
– In the 13th minute, you scored a goal, and the opponents blocked your left foot, and you scored with your right foot. Did you expect this from yourself?
– It was a good combination: I passed the ball to Traore, he played one-two, and I handled the ball with one touch and scored.
– Did you feel your absolute advantage today?
– Yes, because we scored four goals in the first half, and the game was basically finished.
– The first match against Feyenoord, which, unfortunately, you will skip, is ahead. Is it hard to realize that you cannot help the team in such an important match?
– I think that we have a lot of players, so it will not be such a big problem. The guys will come on, nothing will change in the game.
– What can you say about the future opponents in the Europa League?
– Feyenoord are a good team. We will see what will happen in the first game in Warsaw.
