Shakhtar Donetsk and Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka took part in UAF #GOnline project opening edition on Instagram, where he answered live questions from fans, spoke about his quarantine routine and Euro-XNUMX, and explained why he supports Manchester City.

About quarantine

- I'm not bored in quarantine. What can you do at home? The first is to play with children. You need to figure out what to do with them, otherwise they will sit on your head.

The second is to go in for sports. The third is to clean the apartment. Fourth - cook food. I used to do it rarely, but I succeed. And fifth - I take a laptop and watch movies and TV series. Or play Playstation. Although all this also bothers me later, I want to go somewhere, but it is necessary to adhere to quarantine.

About Euro and national team

- I would give everything for Ukraine to win the Euro. This is the dream of every footballer. I would like to feel these emotions. If you do not believe in miracles, then you have no place here. Everything is real.

When we played the selection, at first only we believed in ourselves, then everyone started believing in us. When everyone believes, it is difficult to break us. Mauro Tassotti and Andrea Mulder, assistants to Andriy Shevchenko, although they do not know the language, but as their own. They speak English. We have a very warm atmosphere in the national team, words cannot describe it.

About Zinchenko

- I support Zinchenko. When he was not at City, of course I supported Liverpool. When I was in touch with this club, its representatives came and left a very positive impression. After that, I started to support the Reds even more. They are human. They fought for my transfer to Liverpool. Respect to them. These are incredible emotions. I was already one foot there in England. That's why I support this team. She always impressed me. However, when Zinchenko moved to City, he began to support this team.

About the father-agent

— There were a lot of calls from different agents during my career, so in the end I asked my father to help and gave him all these numbers to call him, and he filtered it all out and told me who to talk to. For a long time I was an agent myself, but then I realized that it was difficult.
