Italy midfielder Federico Chiesa summarised the match against Ukraine (0:0) in the Euro 2024 qualifying cycle, which took place yesterday in Leverkusen.
Federico Chiesa vs. Yefim Konopli"It was probably the most difficult game in the whole Euro 2024 qualifying cycle. I would like to thank the Ukraine national team because they fought today and showed that they want to qualify for the Euros in Germany. But in the end, we drew and now we are going to the European Championship. It's very important for us because we will try to defend the title there.
Ukraine's tactics of playing with three centre-backs? It was not a surprise for us. We knew from the first game with the Ukrainians that they would change something, that they would adjust to our counterattacks and tactics. They showed exactly what they changed. But if we had realised the chances we had in the first half, it would have been a completely different game. But we did not score, so this match ended in a draw", - "Suspilne" quotes Chiesa .
