Oleksandr Zinchenko's: "Tomorrow, every inch of the pitch will be a battlefield, and victory will belong to the strongest"
Midfielder of the Ukraine national team, Oleksandr Zinchenko, along with head coach Serhiy Rebrov, participated in a press conference ahead of their second match at Euro 2024 against Slovakia.
"Games like the one against Romania happen. It's better not to dwell on it. However, I'm confident that everyone has learned something, both individually and as a team. But I don't want to talk about that game. I want to look forward to the match against Slovakia. We need to be ready for it.
We expect a tough game against a strong team that defends and attacks together. Tomorrow, every inch of the pitch will be a battlefield, and victory will belong to the strongest.
We're all working hard, and we all dream. We wouldn't be here if we didn't believe in ourselves. It's better to do more and say less. Of course, we believe, but first, we must do something on the pitch," said Oleksandr Zinchenko.
