Shakhtar forward Danylo Sikan about the test match against Sarajevo (4-1) and the upcoming trip to the 2024 Olympics
– Danylo, Shakhtar held the first friendly match at the training camp in Slovenia. What can you say about the game and how do you rate your physical condition?
– Personally, I feel good, physically I was perfectly prepared for this training camp and for the first game. I think we got a good result for the team.
– Shakhtar had previously met with Sarajevo at the training camp. What are the differences between these matches?
– I can note that we prepared a little better physically, because we have higher workloads at the training sessions from the first day, and now, it can be said that we outran the opponent.
– You scored the first goal. Can you recall that episode?
– Yes, Vinicius Tobias passed a ball from the wing, and Kevin made a very good cross to the unguarded net, and I only had to finish this attack.
– What tasks do you set for yourself for the training camp and for the upcoming season?
– The task for the training camp is to prepare well for our important games of the Champions League and the championship. There is only one goal for the season – to win and to give positive emotions.
– There was information in the media that Shakhtar will let some players go to the 2024 Olympics. You are also included in the list. How important is this competition for you?
– I want to thank Mister and Darijo Srna for letting us go. This is very important not only for us, but also for the whole country. We understand that our football team will be represented at the Olympic Games for the first time in the history of Ukraine, so we would like to participate with the strongest squad, which we used at Euro. Of course, it is difficult, but we will try to understand the football Ruslan Petrovych Rotan wants to play as soon as possible, and I hope we will get positive emotions and a positive result in this tournament.
– And how did you react when you found out that you were allowed to go after all? Since there was a lot of different information, something was constantly changing.
– I really wanted to go to the Olympics, so I thank Mister and Darijo once again. I am very happy, like all guys.
– What schedule will the internationals have?
– After Shakhtar’s game, we will be gathering in France on July 7, and the first training session will take place on the 9th – we will prepare.
