Ukraine midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko shared his expectations for the Euro 2024 qualifying game against England.
- Today we have a new match, we are writing a new history, it will be interesting to watch the game. I think the guys are ready, we have prepared well, we just need to put all our strength on the football field and we will see what the result will be. It will be a tough game, but we have to impose our football, what our head coach wants from us, and we will see how it goes. We have our own plan, I won't reveal it, but let's hope it works.
Each player of the national team receives messages from our military, who protect us and our families, our country, and it is very important for us that they follow us. We know how important it is to show a good game and result. We are grateful to them, we remember them, we will always support them, and we bow our heads. No matter what the result is, no Ukrainian will be ashamed of us because of our dedication. We know what country we represent.
Am I ready for the game? I was constantly talking to Ruslan Petrovich, he asked me every day, but I had just trained for two days in the general group, and I believe that you have to be 100 percent ready for such a match.
Now I don't feel that way because I missed a month, but there are guys in the national team who are better prepared than me, so it will be right to count on them in this game. If my presence somehow helps the guys, it will only be a plus.
Is Malinowski on the right in the attack? It's not a new position for him, he played there in the club, both for Marseille and Atalanta, so he knows how to play, he's an experienced performer. It won't be a problem for him.
Yaremchuk. Strikers always have a streak when you can't score, but sooner or later it ends. Roman trained well, he is in good condition both mentally and physically. He has been playing good football for the national team for many years," Yarmolenko said on the UAF's Youtube channel.
