Vitaliy Mykolenko, the blue-chip's director, shared his thoughts with these fellows..

Ukrainian team leader Vitaliy Mykolenko commented on the upcoming Euro 2024 selection match with the Malta team.

" Plus they played against the Macedonians earlier, and the Maltese played their match against Italy. I think we are doing well.

According to the scheme of the harvest of Malta, just a little is removed from Northern Macedonia. The most important thing is that the Maltese are already playing against the three central champions, so it will be a little easier for us to adapt to a new opponent. The Macedonians have a good attack stock, and the Maltese do the same. They have clear Swedish gravels.

Masters are outsiders? Our head coach correctly said that if we lose respect for other teams, then we will forget about our own. As soon as we go out and demonstrate our zeal and break all the rules, then everything will be fine. If we marvel at others, it will be important for us.

Today, there will be great versatility across all teams – and not just the players in the attack line.

If you attack a lot, large areas appear in the defense. The same goes for everyone, and for those who will be replaced. The match with Malta is not a playoff match, it’s just a game for the group, but we know that if we don’t get three points in each game, then we have little chance of qualifying for the European Championship,” said Vitaliy Mykolenko.

The match between Malta and Ukraine will take place today, the 17th of June, at about 21:45 Kyiv time. Follow this match in our text online.
