Ukraine midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko said what he thinks about his national team's prospects at Euro 2024.
"Many expect a good result from us. We have a good national team, but I do not like to make loud statements. We need to prove everything on the pitch. The pressure is always there, and now it's a little bit on a higher level. But I hope that each of us will give our all, and it will be seen by every fan.
I repeat, we have a very good national team, and we have everything to develop and grow both individually and as a team. We have a very good atmosphere, it's a pleasure to work with this coaching staff. So I don't see any reason why we can't be very successful. Our people deserve it. But for this we need to work hard, prepare as best as possible, and then we'll see what will come out of it.
We need to be as focused as possible and show our best game. There is a moment - you need to score. Otherwise you will bite your elbows later. Soccer at the national team level is very leveled, many teams show a good game. Yes, you can single out those teams that have top players, who cost 150-200 million and make the difference. But all the other teams are fighting for themselves and their countries, so it will be difficult for us with any opponent in the group," - Zinchenko quotes the official website of UEFA.
