Former Dynamo forward Artem Milevsky shared his thoughts on which of the two Ukraine national team forwards, Artem Dovbik or Roman Yaremchuk, will start the play-off match for Euro 2024 against Iceland from the start.

- Good question. I've been thinking about it for two days. Most likely, Dovbik will start, but I would like Ukraine to play two strikers and both of them to play from the first minute. But it is unlikely that Serhiy Stanislavovich (Rebrov) will take risks from the first minute in such an important game.
I hope that Roma Yaremchuk will have more time than in the game with Bosnia. Thanks to him, life goes on and our team will play in the final match of the qualifying for Euro. It is good that he managed to do everything in 10 minutes, but I want to see more of him.
- And who do you personally like more as a forward: Yaremchuk or Dovbik?
- I have liked Roma for a long time. Yes, he did not start at Valencia right away. I remember in October or November I wrote to him: "Come on. You'll do well." I still remember him as a kid. When I was at Dynamo-2, Yaremchuk was just starting.
I saw his potential in him right away. We have a similar style. I am very happy for him - he plays more and more often in the starting line-up of Valencia, scored against Real Madrid. I am not surprised that he almost single-handedly pulled out the game against Bosnia. Thank God we have such strikers.
