Moldova national team striker Ion Nicolaescu told what he expects from the friendly match against Ukraine, which will be held today in Chisinau.
"A tough match awaits us against a very strong team that will play at Euro 2024. We will try to play a good match, we will give our best on the pitch to get another victory (last Saturday Moldova beat Cyprus in a friendly match - 3:2 - ed.).
Even if it will be a difficult match, it doesn't matter to me. I proved that I can score goals, no matter who we play against. And in the Polish national team there are defenders who play in the Premier League, and the goalkeeper is a Juventus mainstay (in the Euro-2024 qualifying cycle Moldova played away in a 1-1 draw with Poland, and Nicolaescu was the author of his team's goal - ed. note). The main thing is to have chances to score, and there I will have to demonstrate that I am a striker, who already has 15 goals in the national team, and the goal count should continue," moldfootball.com quoted Nicolaescu as saying.
