Former Dynamo forward and Ukraine national team coach Andriy Shevchenko shared his expectations for the Ukraine vs Italy Euro 2024 qualifying match.
Andriy Shevchenko (photo: numero-diez.com)- This is a very important match, in fact, it is much more than a match. Despite the war and all the difficulties we have inside the country, the team is still in a good position. We have good players like Mudryk, Sudakov and Tsygankov. Rebrov has done a great job in a difficult situation.
I am always with the national team and support it as much as possible. I do this for football and for my people. I believe that sports in general and football in particular can deliver the right messages and help people in such difficult times. For us, sporting success is very valuable now. This qualification will bring happiness to people who have suffered and continue to suffer.
Spalletti. I have a lot of respect for Luciano, he is a very good coach, one of the best, and he will definitely want to bring Italy back to the top after not qualifying for the World Cup," Shevchenko told Gazzetta dello Sport.
