Ukraine's Olympic midfielder Mykola Mykhailenko shared his expectations for the U-23 friendly against Paraguay:
"We analyzed the sparring match with Egypt, analyzed the mistakes that we should pay attention to in order to avoid making similar ones in future matches. As for the next opponent, the Paraguayan national team, I can say that it is a good Latin American team. It has fighters in its lineup, so there will be a lot of struggle. However, we must not be influenced by the opponent and focus on our game. In general, it is interesting to play with a representative of another continent," said midfielder Mykola Mykhailenko.
