Former Shakhtar Donetsk and Ukraine defender Vyacheslav Shevchuk shared his impressions of the English Premier League match between Chelsea and Arsenal (2-2), in which one of the goals was scored by Chelsea's Ukrainian midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk.
Vyacheslav Shevchuk- I was looking forward to this match with . For me, both Mudryk and Zinchenko are the leaders of their teams. It's top-class football - and our guys were up to the mark and were even among the brightest in this round.
- Mudryk played one of his best matches in 10 months at Chelsea. Do you agree?
- Misha is getting better with every game. He had a great match. He made a great run into the area, found Saliba's arm and scored a goal.
- Was Mikhail's goal an accident?
- 50/50.
- Did Zinchenko fail in the match against Chelsea?
- I think it was a tactical substitution. Zinchenko had only a few days after the national team. There are a lot of matches in the season, so there is a rotation.
- After this match, can we say that Mudryk was right to choose Chelsea over Arsenal?
- We do not yet understand Mudryk's full potential. I know Misha very well from his work at Shakhtar U-17. I believe that everything is going to that. I pay tribute to him for the character with which he fights for his right to be a starter at Chelsea. This is a player who has great talent, which is backed up by work on himself.
- Should we expect Mudryk to finally break through?
- He is a young player who is reaching his level step by step. There is no need to overestimate expectations. Somewhere, something didn't work out, there was no confidence. Now he is also mentally improving.
- How many goals will Mudryk score in a season and what will Chelsea achieve on all fronts?
- Pochettino has just come to Chelsea. There is a lot of competition within the Premier League. Thanks to Mudryk, Chelsea can return to the race for the titles.
- After the game with Chelsea, will Zinchenko keep his word to Mudryk?
- Are you serious? Listen, you don't have to take everything at face value. I really like the atmosphere in the national team. It shows that the guys have a very good relationship with each other. It's great.
- Who would you give the 2023 Ballon d'Or to?
- Holland deserves it more. It will give him a boost and motivation.
