Portuguese halfback has told about his expectations of the future game.
- I remember my first game against Shakhtar. I was booked in that match.
- Miguel, playing for Sporting Lisbon you often faced FC Porto and SL Benfica – your main opponents. Can you compare those games to Dynamo Kyiv – Shakhtar Donetsk opposition?
- In Portugal those matches were obdurate, just like in Ukraine. Every player wants to show his best and win.
- Shakhtar can control the ball very well. Is it their main trump?
- That’s why they are first in the tournament bracket. They have players of a very high level. But still we’ll do our best to win no matter what.
- Maybe Dynamo should try to press Shakhtar on every inch of the pitch?
- Of course! But we’ll try not only to stop Shakhtar, but also to demonstrate good game ourselves.
- How can Dynamo neutralize Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who is Ukraine’s top striker at the moment?
- One particular player is not the point. The point is that Shakhtar are a very well organized team.
- All tickets for the future game have been sold out. Is it a kind of extra incitement for the team?
- Sure, such great support must help us show our best.
- How can you estimate Dynamo’s physical conditions?
- We won three last games, which means we are in good physical conditions. That makes players feel more confident.
