Mykola Shaparenko: "I can't get my tone back to 100%"

Dynamo midfielder Mykola Shaparenko spoke on Profutbol Digital about his return to the game after being injured.

- Nikolay, how do you feel after your return? You didn't play for a month, did you have an injury?

- Everything is fine. Yes, when we were playing Shakhtar and I was kicking, I injured my muscle a little bit, but now everything is fine.

- Can you describe how you spent this month?

- How? Like all footballers undergoing rehabilitation: constant work in the gym and running. And then I returned to the general group.

- In the match against Minaj, which did not take place, you were not in the starting line-up. How ready were you then?

- In principle, I was ready to play with Rukh, but I talked to the head coach and we came to a common opinion that it was better not to force things and to prepare for Minaj.

- How did you like today's game against Metalist1925? Despite a lot of accurate passes, it seemed that you have not yet fully gained your form.

- Of course, I'm not fully fit yet. I can't get my tone 100%, because I come out, and then I get injured - and then I have to rehabilitate again. Now I'm coming out again, and the first part of the season is already over. So now I'm not in good shape.

- What do physiotherapists say about how long it takes to get back in shape?

- It depends on how I work. Not the doctors, but I have to feel my body and that's it.

- Do you like the football that Dynamo plays with Shovkovskyi?

- Of course, we can't play every game perfectly. No one plays every game perfectly. We have our own mistakes, which I don't want to talk about, we will solve all this in the team circle and move on.
