Roman Yaremchuk came out in the starting lineup of the national team of Ukraine, which played a 1-1 draw in a friendly match against Italy.

"We showed a good game and achieved a good result against the top teams, so I think everyone is happy. It was a friendly game and the result did not put pressure on us, but it was still nice to play against Italy 1: 1 away, "said Yaremchuk.

"We knew that Italy has good players, everyone plays in top teams, cost 40-50 million each, and our goal was to play well on the counter and reliable in defense. We acted according to the game plan and knew that we would have our own moments.. It was very hard. The main thing that kept their pressure, compactly played in defense. All well done ".

"Italy's national team is not like either Slovakia or the Czech Republic. They have their own style of play, because neither the Czechs nor the Slovaks have such strong players as Italy ".

"I played against Bonucci and Chiellini, who are probably the best pair of defenders in the world, so I am pleased to try my hand against opponents of this level. As they say, everything goes to the piggy bank, and you need to progress. An episode with the Chiellini go-ahead? He apologized for the moment when he played with his elbow. It was just a game episode, no problem. ".

"Of course, it is very pleasant that the coaching staff trusted me in this match.

I always want to play, especially for the Ukrainian national team, and it doesn’t matter that this is a friendly match or official. For me it is a great honor, especially since the situation in the country. Therefore, I am very happy that they give me the opportunity to play for the national team ".
