Forward of the Ukrainian national team Roman Yaremchuk said what he thinks about the upcoming match with Scotland in the League of Nations, which will be held tomorrow in Glasgow.
Roman Yaremchuk“I feel good, happy to see the guys. Good mood in the team. It's always nice to be back on the team. Especially at a time like this. Happy to be here.
Of course, it’s not easy when there are such tight deadlines for preparation - first, a long flight, then one training session before the match, and then the match right away. But the conditions are the same for everyone, so we will proceed from the situation that exists.
Ukrainians need positive emotions, because we only need a victory. We have everything to achieve such a result, we have been playing together for a long time, everyone knows each other both on the football field and beyond. Therefore, the main thing now is to prepare well and bring three points for Ukraine.
Yes, we remember our recent success with Scotland in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, but you can't go out on the pitch thinking about past successes. You need to remember the victories, but such thoughts will not help you to achieve new results. This is already history, a pleasant history, but you will not build the future on it. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for the next matches with maximum efficiency - only then there will be a result.
Chances in the match with Scotland? I have always said and I will repeat again: no matter who you play with, before the match the chances are 50/50. The Scottish team has a very strong team. It will be hard. Moreover, a full stadium will cheer for our opponent. But we have a special motivation - to please the Ukrainians with a good game, with goals. To please our soldiers with this, who are now giving their lives for us. In the current situation, there can be no excuses for us - we must enter the field and give ourselves one hundred percent.
The latest successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the front? Personally, I now literally live with this news. I am proud that I am Ukrainian, I am proud that we have such a strong and united people, that we have such a strong army and a strong president. And, of course, I am happy that we are advancing on the front, that the Ukrainians prove again and again that they are strong not only in words, but also in actions. And I hope this is just the beginning!” Yaremchuk said in a comment to the UAF press service.
