Andriy Yarmolenko: “When you put on this T-shirt, you don't have any matches”

Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Yarmolenko commented on the victory of our national team in the match of the League of Nations with the Czech Republic (1: 0).

- You had a couple of moments in the meeting, but you did not manage to realize them. Didn't the excessive desire to score interfere?

- Of course, I really wanted to score, and in every game there is such a desire. However, nothing terrible happened. The most important thing is that we won this match and won first place in the group. 

- At the press conference, the head coach of the Czech team said that his wards made the national team of Ukraine nervous. Do you agree with him?

- This is his personal opinion. How many people, so many opinions. Score on the scoreboard. Probably, the game was not successful enough for us in terms of ball control, in terms of dangerous moments, but such fights also happen, and we need to be patient. It's good that they played to zero and scored. All is well, the result is there.

- Andriy Shevchenko complained at the press conference about unrealized moments in the second half ...

- Of course, there were moments, because the opponent opened up a bit, and there were a lot of free zones. They immediately gave the opportunity to run out on the counterattack. Moments began to arise, including mine. Unfortunately, it was not possible to score, but, I repeat, the most important thing is that they scored three points.

- How do you like this version of the national team of Ukraine? Three wins - nine points ...

- Well, everything is fine. Of course, there is still work to be done. The coaching staff always tells us about it, points out our mistakes. We need to fix them and move in the right direction. So let's see what happens next. So far so good.  

- The national team of Ukraine won three victories, but all - with a minimum score ...

- In our group, all three teams are very strong. Although in fact in this case there is no difference with which score to win. Three points is three points. 

- Are you satisfied with this tournament at all?

- I go out on the field and play for my country. I do not want to talk about this tournament, neither bad nor good. How many people, so many opinions. When you arrive at the national team camp, there are no unimportant matches. All games are official, because you represent your country. You are watched by the fans, and, of course, you have to teach from the first to the last minute. 

- The national team of Ukraine made its way to the elite of the tournament. Will the matches there be more interesting?

- I don't know, let's see. But the main thing is to look at your game and always try to improve it.  

- Won't you lose motivation for the last match of the League of Nations with Slovakia?

- I have already said that when you wear this T-shirt, you have no qualifying matches. I am sure that our players will give their all on the field in that match.
