The forward returned to action after injury and is ready for the match with the Gunners
Attack Shakhtar Daniil Sikan spoke about the team’s readiness for the match with Arsenal in the third round Champions League 2024/25.
“Physically I am very well prepared. It’s a little difficult because I’m not used to playing with a mask, but I feel good with the team and therefore I’m very happy.”
“We understand that Arsenal are one of the best teams in the world and that it will be especially difficult against them. Therefore, we need to take every aspect of the game seriously: every minute, every second on the field of this team will be very important for us.”
“No, I didn’t ask Ilya Zabarny how Bournemouth beat Arsenal. We have our own secrets, we only adapt to our game. And let’s hope only for the positive.”
“Of course, Arsenal have both weak and strong sides, but they have more strong qualities. They are one of the best teams in the game, both defensively and offensively. And against such an opponent you need to act as a team – attack together and defend together. Only then can there be a result.”
“As long as everything is going according to schedule, we are preparing, of course, as we do for every game. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Champions League or the Ukrainian Championship, we prepare very seriously and analyze the opponent.”
Shakhtar scored one point in two rounds and is in 27th place in the overall 2024/25 Champions League table. The Gunners have four points.
The match of the third round of the Champions League between Arsenal and Shakhtar will take place in London tomorrow, October 22. Starts at 22:00 Kyiv time. The match will be officiated by a French team of judges led by Benoit Bastien.
