Dynamo Kyiv midfielder and Oleksandr Karavaev admitted after a charity match with Everton (0:3) that it was hard for him to play against the former Kiev defender Vitaliy Mykolenko.
Vitaly Mikolenko and Alexander Karvaev“Winning over Fenerbahce? Of course, very positive emotions. Decisive goal. Especially the team in which I played. There was such good support, and we moved on. This is very important for our team and our country.
It will be very difficult with Sturm. Very good, organized team. But we will study how they play and prepare very carefully. We will be ready for this match.
This is not the first time I have played against Mikolenko. 4 years ago I played for Zorya against Dynamo, and then he made his debut. Then it was very hard. Four years have passed, and he is already here in England, and I am in Dynamo.
He is growing, and this was evident from the national team. And now it was very difficult when I played against him, because he grew up physically, tactically. Here is a completely different football, different speeds. It is growing, and this is very good," Karavaev said in an interview with the Vzbirna Youtube channel.
