Shakhtar Donetsk and Ukraine midfielder Heorhiy Sudakov answered questions from the Sport-express website after the national team's October matches in Poland.
- Before the October matches, there was a lot of criticism of the national team and coaching staff. Did you feel any too much pressure?
- Of course, there was pressure, but that's normal, this is football, there is always pressure, we have to accept it and do everything we can to achieve a positive result.
- At this training camp, the national team was slightly changed due to injuries to many of the main players. How quickly did you manage to adapt to each other?
- I know all the guys, so there were no problems, they are all high-quality and intelligent players.
- There were many chances in the match with the Czechs, but unfortunately we failed to realize them. What did you think was missing?
- Perhaps we lacked even more aggressiveness in attack.
- How can you evaluate these two matches for yourself ?
- It is difficult to evaluate myself, let the coaching staff, fans, and experts do it for me.
- Who was more difficult to play with: the Georgians or the Czechs?
- I can't say, both matches were difficult for me.
- The match against Arsenal in the Champions League is coming up soon, what are your premonitions?
- First of all, I think about the game with Kolos, and then I will prepare for Arsenal.
- You are not in the top 10 best players from the top 5 leagues in Europe, but you are ranked second according to SofaScore. How do you react to such ratings, and to expert assessments in general?
- It's nice, but it's not an indicator, you need to be at a high level every game and show a quality result.
