The Ukrainian midfielder shared his thoughts about the draw for the playoffs for Euro 2024.

Ukrainian national team player Taras Stepanenko commented on the play-off draw for Euro 2024, and that the Blues are likely to play against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

" The infection of all teams is the garni of football, all the losses. I'm glad that Scotland and Wales have fallen. They told me that Scotland was stronger than Wales - Wales didn’t pass. Well, we can say that both the moments were and the judgment. But we didn’t score and didn’t qualify for the world championship.

So you need to get ready. I really want everyone to be in shape, healthy, on track in their championships, so that they get to the games in good shape. I really believe it. We can say that it’s good, but we got the result. In principle, we have already achieved, but for the sake of victory in Italy, the stinks have passed far away. This is football, you need to practice in order to get results.

We have a great team. There are a lot of guys playing in Europe in really great teams. The stench, I think, is already mentally guilty to the point that if you play the role of a favorite, there is more mental emphasis.

Why do we have strength in the team, and we can profit from it. This does not mean that you are the favorite, you are the winner - and you took your hat and led you to the final.

If you go out, believe in your strengths, in those that we can play on a high level, we can dominate on the field - I respect that we can effectively. Ale tse through practice, through discipline, through concentration. And then, based on the individual mastery of these boys, who play in front - and everything will be fine,” Stepanenko said on the air of the PROFOOTBALL Digital program.

It is expected that the match between the national teams of Ukraine and Bosnia and Herzegovina will take place on 21 March 2024.
