I made my debut [for the national team] about three months ago and it was something incredible for me. Playing at the EURO is the highest possible level in soccer. It's been a dream of mine for a long time. I've had a long way to go, so I'm enjoying every moment here. And I really want to help the team as much as possible".
Brazhko on his debut for the national team:
"When I went to the national team camp, I couldn't even think that I would play. And when I found out that I would play against Bosnia, I went to my room, put the phone down and just sat there for two or three minutes: I couldn't believe that it was really happening. But then I managed to pull myself together, we won that match, and in the next one - against Iceland - I was not so worried.
Brazko on Slovakia:
"We must understand that this is a well-organized team. They know what to do on the field, they press well and defend very compactly. They are also very good on the counterattack. They really play soccer, not just kicking the ball out. It will be difficult for us, but it will definitely be an interesting game," Brazko said.
