The head coach of the Ukraine U-19 national team Dmytro Mykhailenko shared his thoughts on Christian Shevchenko, who received his debut call-up to the team, on UPL.TV.
Dmitry Mikhailenko- How would you describe Christian's football characteristics? In what position can he best prove himself?
- In the games I watched, he played as a right/left midfielder or winger. The coach says he can also be used as a forward, but I haven't seen how he looks there. He has quite decent statistics now. He scored a lot of goals in the last 7 games.
He is similar to his father in terms of movements, body type, fast, can move a lot. So we can say that he is similar, but I think he is still too young for us to understand how talented he is.
- I heard that there were some legal problems with his Ukrainian passport. Has everything been resolved and does Christian have full Ukrainian citizenship?
- I haven't heard anything like that. It seems to me that everything is fine.
- So there are no problems?
- No, not at the moment.
