Despite the end of the season, I think any footballer is ready to come to the national team regardless of their psychological or physical state. I am no exception.
To be honest, my body is a bit in shock after the flight. But we have a few days to get back to ourselves. I think everything will be fine. Regarding Canadian football, I know that some stars play for "Toronto", like Francesco Bernardeschi, and I know there is a large Ukrainian diaspora living here. So we are expecting incredible support," said Bondarenko.
