We are ready to focus on our supernik, and we don’t feel bad about what to say. Kozhen has the right to his opinion. It is a great honor for us to serve our country.

Well, of course, I’ll be happy to hang out with these guys from Italy. Especially with Jorginho, with whom I should have gratified. A very important match with a high-class, well-organized team. What's wrong, we know. We need to be on top, just as we are at the forefront, whenever necessary.
