Blue-and-yellow midfielder shares his thoughts after defeat to British.

Ukraine's midfielder Yevhen Makarenko commented on the defeat of his national team in the Euro 2020 quarterfinal match against England (0: 4).

" Skip from such an opponent in the first minutes. Such teams are not forgiving.

After the first goal, we started to enter the game, were on the ball, possessed a certain initiative, there were prerequisites for good attacks. Sorry, failed to score. In the first and second half, in the starting five minutes, we lacked concentration, which is why we conceded goals. The third ball turned out to be fatal. After him, England, staffed with high-quality footballers, retreated and played in a row.

As for my substitution, when the score was 0: 4 I wanted to help the team. It was hard, the guys looked depressed. It's not for me to rate my game, there are experts. What I could, so I helped.

The guys are very upset, so no one wanted to leave the tournament. The score is too high to be eliminated at this stage.. After the match, the coaches thanked us for the work done, which we started back in mid-May. They said that we should be proud of the results and the game we showed at Euro 2020, "
