Yesterday, the football players of the Ukraine national team gathered in Gdansk, Poland, and began preparing for a decisive Euro 2024 qualifier match against Italy. Defender of the blue-and-yellow team Oleksandr Svytok shared his expectations for the upcoming match.

"We arrived from Lviv well, stayed at a hotel near the airport, had breakfast before transferring to Gdansk."

Regarding the last UPL game, I can't say how we managed to beat "Shakhtar." Probably due to good team play, maybe we were lucky. It's great that the boys scored such nice goals from long distances.

The Italians always have a very strong team with individually powerful players and tactically sound. I don't want to talk about the favorite for tomorrow's match — everything will be clear on the football field. I think we'll all be motivated."

Recall that the Euro 2024 qualifier match between Ukraine and Italy will take place on November 20 at the BayArena stadium in Leverkusen, Germany (kickoff — 9:45 PM Kyiv time).
