Shakhtar midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk - on preparing for the season, working with a new coach and sending a message to the whole world.

- What are your expectations from the season? How difficult will it be for Shakhtar, given that the squad has been almost completely changed?
- The roster has been updated, but this was already the case last season. As in other seasons. So we are just getting ready for the championship.

- How did you prepare for tomorrow's match?
- Nothing has changed in our preparation. We are working on tactical schemes. The team is emotionally and physically well prepared. I think we are ready for the championship.

- Is the team already as accustomed to the requirements of the new head coach?
- Yes, almost from the first week the team understood what the coaching staff required from us.

- What is the difference between the training of Jovicevich and De Zerbi?
- Each coach is an individual - everyone has their own vision of football. Therefore, everyone is different. One coach prefers more combinational football, another one - more attacking style.

- There are journalists from the UK here. Do you have any message for the whole world and players from other countries?
- Yes, of course. Perhaps, over time, the world started to forget what events are taking place in Ukraine. I think that our goal is to remind the whole world through matches that nothing is over and what atrocities are happening in Ukraine.
