Denis Miroshnichenko: "Rotan immediately asked if I was ready to play at Wembley

Oleksandriia defender Denys Miroshnichenko commented on his debut call up to the national team of Ukraine. Recall that 28-year-old footballer was called up to the ranks of the main team of the country on the eve of the qualifying match of Euro 2024 with England, which will be held March 26 in London at Wembley.

"The call-up to the national team was really unexpected. I was already on my way home after the last Alexandria match when head coach Ruslan Petrovich Rotan called and said that I was going to the national team. It was nice.

The head coach asked whether I was ready to play at Wembley. We laughed a little, that`s all. He supported me, said he was waiting for me.

I`m a bit surprised, I`m overwhelmed with positive emotions. This is the first call up to the main team of the country, that`s why I was very pleased. This is probably a dream. Which came true.

As for the upcoming match against England, we have one of the best national teams as opponents. Expectations for this match are unbelievable. How the game will pan out, we'll know only when it happens. We expect a positive result. And to play in such a beautiful stadium with this team is also a big dream", - said Miroshnichenko in a commentary to the press service of the UAF.
