I warmed up with the team, worked with the ball. My recovery is going according to plan. Our medical staff said that the dynamics are positive. I hope to be in the main group soon.
Serhii Stanislavovych congratulated me on my birthday. It was nothing special, he wished me health, which is the most important thing in our profession and in life in general, and more victories, not only on the pitch but also off it. Very often we have to celebrate birthdays in the national teams, starting from the U-17 level. I believe that 25 is a normal age for a footballer. Not young, but not old. This is the golden mean," said Mykolenko.
