INTERVIEW

Sudakov joined Sport Lisboa e Benfica! In his first words as a Red, the 22-year-old Ukrainian international midfielder expressed his pride and happiness at joining an "incredible club".

"It's an incredible club with an incredible history. For me, it's a step forward. I can grow with this team. In addition, my close friend Anatoliy Trubin plays here. Above all, I want to win everything with this club, first and foremost the Championship, of course, and I believe I can achieve that with this incredible team", he said in an exclusive interview with BTV.

You mentioned winning. What do you hope to achieve here at Benfica?

I want to win the Championship, the Portuguese Cup, and move forward in the Champions League, qualifying for the next stage.

You said you talked to Trubin. What did he tell you about the Club?

Yes, I talked to Trubin every day. Anatoliy [Trubin] is very happy here, he is a great professional, he talked about this club and the League [Betclic], a very good Championship. We can grow together. I'm very happy to be here and, above all, I want to grow every day, with this team, with this club, and with this coach. I also want to say that the fans are incredible, I've felt that in the last few days on my Instagram and Twitter. It's been unbelievable. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

How would you describe yourself on the pitch, with the ball?

I can play in all attacking positions and also in midfield, in my position, as number 10. But I can also play as an 8 or a 6. At Shakhtar, I played left wing, right wing, and for me, it's not very important where I play. I just want to show what I can do on the pitch.

What message do you want to leave to Benfica fans?

As I said before, I want to thank them, because I have already felt the support of these fantastic fans. I want to grow alongside the fans and this great team.
