Ruslan Malynovskyi, midfielder of the Ukrainian national team, shared his expectations from the friendly match with Germany.
"I have only positive impressions of the Champions League final, a great match played by both opponents. As they say, two teams play, and Madrid wins. Congratulations to Andriy Lunin on this victory!
How does Real Madrid manage to win? There are teams, such as Juventus in Italy, who, no matter how they play, always take the trophy. Of course, these are high individual qualities of world-class players. The best play there. It's very difficult to oppose such a team. "Borussia had a lot of chances in the first half. They played very well, but that's football. It's a pity, of course.
Yes, the German national team will play without the Champions League finalists. But those guys who will be out will want to show that they should play at the Euros. All the players who are in the German national team are of a very high level. We know the strength of this team, it will be an interesting match, we will have to work hard.
The Germans have a different coach now, so the game will be different from last year. Germany supports Ukraine, so it will be a great match for the fans. We will try to show our best football.
If we compare the Ukrainian national team with the team that reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2020, many of the guys are still there. Of course, there are several new players who strengthen the national team. But it is difficult to compare, we will see by the results of the performance.
The match against Germany is one of the three preparatory matches. We will try to play our best football. Mistakes from previous games need to be removed, and what we failed to do in attack needs to be improved. We have to show good football for our fans and our country," said Malinowski.
