- For me personally, the entry of our national team to the Olympic Games is a very big responsibility. But it is also a great joy to represent our country at such a time, in such a difficult situation. The path to the Games was difficult. At first, I probably didn't believe it, because it's something that is hard to imagine.

We have to support the younger players, because this is a very important tournament, and everyone has to concentrate on our game to show good results.

I never thought that I would play in an official match against Argentina - it's something incredible. Many veterans will take part in the competition, and this raises the status of the tournament. Every top footballer who will play at the 2024 Olympic Games is a motivation for us to show ourselves at the same level," said Oleg.
