Oleksandr Zinchenko: "If you make a mistake, the most important thing is your reaction"

Ukraine midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko commented on the victory of his national team over Slovakia (2:1) in yesterday's match of the 2nd round of the group stage of Euro 2024.

"Even after conceding a goal, we tried to push each other and it worked in the second half. We tried to score. Even at 0-1 we tried again and again. I think it was not easy for the opponent to play against us like that.

The experience I got from the best in the sport helped me: if you make a mistake, the most important thing is your reaction. You can't go back in time, it's already happened, it's already history. We're all human, we all make mistakes. If you give up, you have no chance to come back and win.

Now we are waiting for a super difficult match against one of the best teams in Europe and the world. The Belgian national team has a lot of world-class players. If we want to beat such teams, if we want to get out of this group, we will have to play to the maximum," - Zinchenko was quoted by the official website of UEFA.
