Zorya midfielder Vyacheslav Churko, who played for Frosinone in Italy, shared his expectations for the UPL TV telegram channel about the match between the national team of Ukraine and the national team of Italy in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Vyacheslav Churko- The most important thing is not to lose. The game will be away, especially as the Italians lost points against the Macedonians, so they will be angry and will come at it fully armed. If with the Macedonians there could have been an underestimation and a really bad pitch that prevented Italy from showing their full potential, now they will be in a different mood.
- You have played in Italy, do you think the home pitch factor will be very influential for the Scudra Azzurri in their meeting with us?
- It is a very strong factor. Even when we played Slavia in Prague, the stands put a lot of pressure on us. Especially after playing without fans for a long time, it is very noticeable and influential. However, our advantage is that many of the players of the Ukrainian national team are now playing abroad, so they are used to the pressure of the stands. So it shouldn't affect them. But the fans will help Italy a lot.
- Which of the Italian national team players are you most interested in?
- First of all, Barella. He is a very strong player on whom the team's performance depends - both at Inter and in the national team. Plus Immobile is up front, because he scores almost all the chances he has.
