Mikkel DUELUND: “I need a surgery”

- How are you, Mikkel? How do you feel?

- My leg doesn’t feel perfect. I need a surgery. Frankly speaking, I’m tired of that. I’m very upset as I can’t even work with the team. I want to show the new coach what I’m capable of.

- Have you found common ground with Olexiy Mykhailychenko?

- I guess we should have a talk in Russian. Every day I improve my language skills. I understand almost everything, but I need more time to get better at speaking. I’d like to mention that Ukrainian differs from Russian and when people talk quickly I feel I know nothing.

- What are your first impressions of Olexiy Mykhailychenko?

- I think he’s a true professional. As I’ve said, I’m really upset I can’t demonstrate what I’m capable of.

- What’s the atmosphere in the team like after defeats and resignation of head coach?

- We wipe the slate clean. Many players liked Olexandr Khatskevych, but sometimes you need to change something to succeed. We must win the league and play decently in the Europa League. The atmosphere is okay, we’re ready to keep fighting.

- You’ve already missed quite a lot. How do you maintain mental health?
- It’s hard not to play for so long. I’m looking forward to the end of this period. I like Kyiv. Even when I go to Denmark, I feel Kyiv is my home. I feel I’m a part of Ukrainian society.

- You’ve been to Chornobyl with Carlos de Pena. What are your impressions?

- It was a great experience. Terrible events happened there. It’s very scary in Chornobyl. We felt the atmosphere of the disaster and saw horrible things.

- What other places would you like to visit in Ukraine?

- So far I’d like to stay in Kyiv (laughing). We’ve had enough in Chornobyl. But I like to find out new things about Ukraine. So I plan to visit other Ukrainian cities and towns.
