Goalkeeper of the Ukrainian Olympic team: "I wanted to play against Messi, but we will have to beat Argentina without him"

Goalkeeper of the Ukrainian Olympic team Kyrylo Fesyun shared his expectations from the next opponents at the 2024 Olympics.

- We were already analyzing future rivals: Morocco and Argentina? What can you say about them?

- These are very strong teams. To get a positive result, you need to give 100% on the field.

- Do you regret that Messi did not go to the Olympics, did you want to play against a living football legend?

- Such top football players decorate any tournament. Of course, I wanted to play against Messi, but we will have to beat Argentina without him. We have no other way.

- Were you shocked by Morocco's 2-1 victory over Argentina?

- It didn't come as a surprise to me. Morocco has high-level players, most of whom are from the national team. Their class is just incredible, but we will only play to win.

- Will it be harder against Morocco than against Iraq?

- Only the game will tell.
