All-rounder of the national team of Ukraine Oleksandr Zinchenko commented on the victory over Iceland (2:1), which secured the Blues' ticket to Euro 2024.
" I am even writing as a Ukrainian, because today, at such an important time for our country, I feel like when you wear a T-shirt with the Ukrainian coat of arms, you feel special emotions. I want to thank all the patients who have encouraged us this very hour. Here we may have played differently than we wanted, but today's result comes first. And your friends have given me yogo.
I myself can’t believe that this will be our third Euro. I feel a little old, but, as I said earlier, we are on the Euro. It will be a great testament to the whole team, because the team is about to overwhelm, it has a lot of young players, and it will be a great tournament for them. I also want to say that we have not seen these graves, who are not in the team today. Well, that encouragement, as we saw from them and other people, was even more important. I just want to give a fuck about it.
In northern Iceland, in principle, we experienced such. So that they will sit for a little while on the defensive and at the same time vikorize their counterattacks and standards. That's why we gathered together before the game one by one, so that we need to bring less standards than our own thieves. Most of the men have run into these problems. So, unfortunately, we missed it first. Here the individual mastery of one of their leaders played a role, which resulted in respect for scoring three goals against Israel. Ale tse - football. At the same time, we reacted very kindly to this goal in the other half and, as a result, the stands supported us and achieved an extremely important result.
In this type of game, it is important to enter first, because the voltage on the field is neutral. But I’ll be honest, I felt a lot better when the patients started calling my name, when I stood on my eyebrow. This just added even more tension. I just wanted to get results, to get something good for the team, which gave all its strength.
Andriy Shevchenko coming to the collection point. We thanked for the result, for those who rejected a lot of information from the traditions of people who are giving up their lives in Ukraine for our freedom. It’s just extramotivation for us to go out onto the field and give everything to ourselves. We also realized that today’s result will be in the first place, and there will be a lot of people watching over us. I, zokrema, military, who are now on the front line. We refused too much information about them. And there is no need to find any motivation here,” the UAF press service quotes Zinchenko as saying..
