Ukrainian national team director Vitaliy Mykolenko commented on the preparations for the selection matches for Euro 2024.

“Everyone arrived in a good mood before the meeting, with positive emotions. I want, whatever the results, you come to the meeting with great emotions. To that without any difference, as we played in clubs.

We were introduced to new graves - Max Taloverov, Danil Sikan, Vladislav Dubinchak. They told us the plan for this collection.

I am reliable in defense? Who said that I am a reliable loser (laughs)?

My goals? I don’t know how it happened. I’m just trying to show my best in every match, that’s the moment,” Mikolenko said in an interview with the UAF YouTube channel.

The match between Ukraine and Italy will take place on November 20 at Leverkusen. The starting whistle sounds at 21:45 Kyiv time.
