Ukrainian coach Dmitry Mikhailenko, a former Dynamo Kyiv midfielder, shared his expectations from the 2022/23 Ukrainian Championship starting today.
- Who will win the championship of Ukraine, and who will get a ticket to the European Cups?
- I think Dynamo will win the championship. Vouchers to European Cups will also be given to Shakhtar, Dnipro-1, Vorskla.
- Who will fly out of the UPL?
- I do not know. I think the outsiders will be the same - "Lvov" and "Minaj".
- Who will be the top scorer of this Ukrainian championship?
- If Dovbik remains, then maybe he is. Another option is Traore, or Tsygankov with Besedin. Someone from this quartet.
- Will we finish the season?
- Complex issue. I really want to, I hope so.
— Who would you recommend following in the new championship?
— I don't think there will be any interesting breakthroughs. Personally, I'm curious to look at Shakhtar without foreign players. I wonder how they will overcome this period. The “merger” of Metalist and Dnipro-1 will be quite interesting. And how will Vorskla show itself with a new coach.
