Oleksandr Zinchenko: Every player in the national team should help to achieve a positive result

Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Oleksandr Zinchenko together with the head coach of the team Andriy Shevchenko took part in at pre-match press conference on the eve of the game with the Netherlands.

"What do you remember 'about the period you spent on loan at the Dutch club PSV?

- I enjoyed that period in my career. During that season, I met European football for the first time.

- You play both in defense and attack. If you could choose, where would you show your best game - in the defensive phase or in the offensive phase?

- I would choose to help the team and play where the head coach sees me. I believe that every player who is in the national team should help the team with everything he can to get a positive result. After all, we play not only for ourselves, for our families, but also for the whole country. Each player, not only the one who will remain in the reserve, but also the one who will watch the match from the stands, should help with words, advice, energy, because we are one.

- You took part in the Champions League final. How did you deal with the frustration after the defeat?

- A few days after the final were the most difficult in my football career, but I am proud to say that in general we had a very good season. And now I want to experience these emotions again, I want to be there again, in the decisive match. This is the best thing that can happen in an athlete's life. Euro 2020 is a tournament that evokes the same emotions. When I finish my career, I will remember with pride that I took part in such fights.
