"I think we did a good job, primarily thanks to the guys. We are faced with a very difficult game tomorrow, we understand all its importance, everyone prepares very seriously. We will play tomorrow's victory ".

As we see, Icelanders have players who are bought for 45 million pounds ".

"Iceland well presses in the home, they like to play vertically, as a rule, in two forwards - these are their strengths. In addition, they are very well supported by native fans ".

"Garmash? Denis is fine, he flew in, there's no temperature, tomorrow we'll see whether he will participate or not," Shevchenko said at the pre-match press conference.
