Former Ukraine forward Andriy Vorobey shared his expectations of the Ukrainian Premier League match between Shakhtar and Dynamo in an interview with the UPL.TV telegram channel.
- Given the form of the teams in recent matches, I expect a bright, productive and, above all, championship game. "Dynamo will play the football they have been showing in recent games - meaningful and attacking. However, Shakhtar will not close down either. I think the Miners will try to control the ball more and thus prevent the opposition from attacking.
- How would you assess Shakhtar's form?
- The team has gained good form. I am pleased that the new Brazilians have joined the team and are playing quality football.
- How much has Shovkovskyi's Dynamo changed compared to Lucescu's team?
- First of all, the guys have relieved themselves of the pressure and burden. They are not afraid to make mistakes, they look more relaxed and they are getting better.
- Can Dynamo beat Shakhtar?
- Yes, of course. Both teams are capable of beating each other. There is no obvious favourite.
- What game confrontations on the pitch could be key?
- The game of the middle lines, the central triangles. Sudakov-Bondarenko or Marlon and Stepanenko for Shakhtar. And Brazhko-Shaparenko-Buyalsky for Dynamo. Individual skill will be in the background. Both teams have enough individually strong players.
- Which of Shakhtar's players got in the best shape at the end of the season?
- Kevin is doing well. And as a striker, I would like to mention Sikan's performance. I like his performance and confidence. In Dynamo, I would like to mention Vanat, who is playing very good football now. Also Shaparenko and Brazhko. Shakhtar's coaching staff should pay a lot of attention to these players.
