Shakhtar midfielder Mikhail Mudryk told why he stayed at the Donetsk club.
Mikhail Mudrik“There were real offers from Bayer, Juventus and Brentford (at the time of the conversation - approx.). But we sat down with the management of the club, talked and decided that now it would be better for me to stay.
I don't like to think in advance, because you never know how the future will turn out. Time will tell when to leave. A football player should not enter the field with thoughts about what the consequences will be from his mistakes and what is the responsibility on him. If you go out with these thoughts, it will be very difficult to play.
When De Dzerbi was there, he repeatedly gave me and Zhora (Sudakov - ed.) a chance. We showed that we can play in the first team. I remember the match with Desna and Chornomorets, when we made the first team together. I believe that we justified his trust. And even then they showed that they were ready to compete and be the first team players.
One should not go far for an example. Let's take Ajax - the club educates its players and then sells them for big money. And with such a young squad, they achieved good results. You can use their experience and try to play with your pupils.
Perhaps the club's strategy will change somewhere and there will be a bet on their pupils - they will be allowed to play, inspire confidence so that they progress and show results, and then sell. First you invest your strength and patience, and then you can earn millions from their sales,” said Mudryk.
