When one of the Ukrainian journalists asked Rebrov about Mudryk’s productivity and outlook after the game against North Macedonia, the former great striker shook his head. “You see the problem, I don’t. How old is he? Do you want him to play like Lionel Messi?” responded the coach of the Ukrainian national team.
“He’s trying to improve step by step. He is an excellent player, he does everything he can for the team. And his perspective? After all, he plays in Chelsea, in the great English Premier League. Even if he didn’t convert the chances, which happens, he helped the team a lot. He has everything in front of him, he works a lot,” added Rebrov to the blond winger.
Against North Macedonia, he got into great opportunities in both halves, in the first half he found himself very close to goalkeeper Stol Dimitrievski at the end of a predatory penetration. After the break, the goalkeeper of the Spanish Vallecano caught him sensationally again during a fast break. His next hard effort from mid-range flew wide of the goal.
Mudryk oozed vigor, he allowed himself elegant loops, constantly fanning the opponent on his side. He skillfully controlled the ball, tried to guide it into a firing position or looked for an opponent with a pass. He was dangerous. Excited fans chanted his name several times during the match.
It is true that the native of Krasnohrad has not yet scored a goal for the national team. So far, he has scored once for Chelsea, where he transferred from Shakhtar Donetsk to this January for huge money (basic amount of 70 million euros, with bonuses it can go up to 100 million euros). He fights for a place in London, jumps into matches regularly, sometimes for a longer period, sometimes for a shorter period. But it is definitely the future of Ukrainian football.
