Ukrainian midfielder Taras Stepanenko shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against Finland.

This meeting will be held June 11 in Tampere as part of the selection for the 2018 World Cup.

"The criticism of our game is completely justified, we do not dispute it and we ourselves go with a bad mood, realizing that we made mistakes. But it is good that it was in a friendly match that we were given a kind of cuff.

We need to gather our thoughts, analyze everything and hold a proper match in Finland.

This is one of the most important games for this year's team. Coaching staff is already well "shook us". I think the words of the coaches "reach out" to us and we will be able to properly play in Tampere ", - said Stepanenko.

Recall, on the eve of "blue and yellow" had a friendly game against Malta, who lost with a score of 0: 1.

Finland also unsuccessfully played in the control match, where she was content with only a draw with Liechtenstein - 1: 1.
