The war has deprived Shakhtar of its particular ‘sambdromo’. David Neres, Mark Antonio, Fernando, Alan Patrick, Tete, Pedrinho, Maycon, Vitao, Marlos, Moraes Jr., Dentinho, Dodo, Ismaily, Marlon, Cypriano and Vinicius Tobias They left Ukraine due to the Russian invasion.
“FIFA destroyed us. It did not protect us at any time”, Darijo Srna lamented in MARCA referring to the decision to ‘release’ the players without ‘freezing’ the contracts with their club of origin. However, Shakhtar’s Director of Football is proud of his new ‘jewel’: Mykhaylo Mudryk (Krasnohrad, 5-1-2001).
“We may have lost part of our identity, but I will tell you that Mudryk is better than all the Brazilians we have ever had. It is not demagoguery. I’ve been in football all my life and I would dare to say that he is the best player in Europe in his position after Mbapp, Neymar and Vinicius.” ensures the 134 times Croatian international.
We may have lost part of our identity, but I will tell you that Mudryk is better than all the Brazilians we have ever had.
You will not be able to take your eyes off the ball: the impossible control never seen before
“If I had a Brazilian passport it would be worth 100 million”
Srna, he insists, is not bluffing when referring to the Ukrainian winger: “It’s amazing. It has everything And he shows it in every game. He drives with the left, with the right, he excels in one-on-one, he’s a good boy… and he is only 21 years old. He’s not worried about offers, he just wants to have fun playing football.” Just in case, Shakhtar’s Director of Football sends a warning to navigators: “If I had a Brazilian passport it would be worth 100 million. If someone loves you, you will have to pay a lot of money. We have already shown that we know the market and we know how to sell players. There are the examples of Chygrynskyi, Mkhitaryan, Alex Teixeira, Fred, Fernandinho, Douglas Costa…”.
He has it all and shows it in every game. He drives with the left, with the right, excels in one-on-one…
They score a goal with an indirect Cruyff penalty, something that Henry and Pires did not know how to do
I left the Bernabu with an ovation
Real Madrid already knows how Mudryk spends it… although he may not remember it. Shakhtar’s ’10’ shares with Ronaldinho, Del Piero or Totti the privilege of having been applauded by Bernabu playing on the visiting side. “I couldn’t imagine something like this happening. I am grateful to the Real Madrid fans for giving me this great recognition.” Mudryk recognizes MARK.

It happened a year ago. Madrid won (2-1), but Mudryk conquered football Europe with his self-confidence and daring. He was the Shakhtar player who created the most scoring chances (3), the one who attempted the most dribbles (3) and completed the most (2) and the one who made the most crosses (2). He also stood out for his combative spirit: He was the second visiting soccer player who won the most duels (5) and recovered four balls.
As if that were not enough, the phonetic resemblance between the surnames of Modric and Mudryk ended up conquering the white parish: “Modric is a ‘top’ player, one of the best of all timebut we are different players who play in different positions”.
Modric is a ‘top’ player, one of the best of all time
“It was his first game as a starter in the Champions League. He has grown a lot in this time”, Mrs. warns. And so much that she has grown. Mudryk, after the Brazilian disbandment, has emerged as Shakhtar’s leader at the start of the season. He is the top assistant with six goal passes and has also scored two goals. Both in Champions. One in the win against RB Leipzig (1-4) and another against Celtic (1-1). It is not surprising that he was chosen Shakhtar ‘Best Player’ in September with 75% of the votes!!!.
Against Madrid, at the Bernabu, he played his first game as a starter in the Champions League… but he has grown a lot since then
With his ‘countryman’ Lunin under sticks
Mudryk will have a special incentive in this new visit to the Bernabu: the presence of the also Ukrainian Andriy Lunin in Real Madrid’s goal.
“It will be a special match because there will be two young players from a small town in Ukraine like Krasnohrad. Lunin and I are from there. Our people can be proud of it,” she says.
To be a special party because Lunin and I are from a small city in Ukraine like Krasnohrad, our people can be proud
“I’m not the Ukrainian Neymar, I’m Mudryk”
Reject, in any case, comparisons. “I’m not the Ukrainian Neymar, I’m Mudryk.”point.
Mudryk’s goal (1-1) in Shakhtar 1-1 Celtic
What he cannot avoid are the rumors about a possible transfer. The Premier – there is talk of Arsenal and Everton – has him in its sights: “I would like to develop myself and reach a higher level in my career… but my thoughts, at the moment, are with Shakhtar.”

Mudryk’s goal in RB Leipzig’s 1-4 win over Shakhtar Donetsk
Before that, Real Madrid and Bernabu await him, where Mudryk wants to mess it up again.
