Ukraine defender Vitalii Mykolenko shared his thoughts at the start of the national team's preparation for the Euro 2024 qualifying match against Italy.
"Everyone came in a good mood, positive emotions are very important for us. Although it doesn't matter how we played in clubs, what the results were, because you always come to the national team with good emotions. So far, there have been no jokes about our recent achievements, but I think there will be some in the coming days when everyone gathers.
Not everyone has arrived yet, there was a theory, we introduced new and almost new players - Maksym Taloverov, Danylo Sikan has not been called up for a long time, Vladyslav Dubinchak will come. We talked about our plan for the training camp.
My goals in recent matches? I don't know how it happened. I already said in an interview at the club that I try to show my best in every match. As you can see, I manage to score, I have chances, and I try to use them.
Thank God that everyone is healthy. Among the legionnaires, perhaps, only Serhii Kryvtsov was not called up. I am very happy for those players who have been showing class in Europe lately. Congratulations to all the players," said Vitalii Mykolenko.
