The newly minted attacking midfielder Georgy Sudakov, who is preparing with the Ukrainian national team for the selection match for the World Cup 2026, commented on his transition to the Lisbon Club from Donetsk Shakhtar and shared his first impressions.

Do I understand that you have come to the team as a legionnaire? To be honest, he has not even thought about it. I do not understand this by the end.

I do not fully realize that it is already a player of Benphyry. Everything came out very quickly. Even when I was two or three days in Lisbon and signed a contract, I didn’t really believe it. And when he first arrived at the base, trained, met the team – still some such feelings that it is like a dream of some, “Sudakov said in a comment for Ukrainian Football Association.

We will remind that for Shakhtar Sudakov spent 148 matches at an adult level, scored 35 goals and gave 26 assistants.
