I have also talked with Guardiola about technical subjects and he explained me that he wants for me to integrate quickly and to be able to start working with the team as soon as possible”.
Asked on the insistence of Pep Guardiola on his transfer and will that mean that he will play with more pressure than usual, Chygrynskiy assured that “in a club as big as Barça all players have pressure”, but also appeared convinced that it would not cause problems: “The fact that they insisted so much is because Shakhtar and FC Barcelona have a similar philosophy in playing attacking football and basing it on possession. However, I believe the pressure will not affect me and I am prepared to face the challenge”, stated the new Barca signing, Dmytro Chygrynskiy.
