Midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Pikhalyonok talked about the emotions of the players of the national team before the opening match in the qualification for Euro-2024.

March 23, the national team of Ukraine in London at FC Wimbledon arena conducted sparring with the "Brentford B" team and won 2:0. The match took place as part of preparations for the opening match of the blue-yellow team in the Euro-2024 qualifying tournament against England.

Dnipro-1 midfielder Oleksandr Pikhalyonok spoke about the emotional state of Ukrainian players on the eve of an important meeting.

"There is, of course, excitement before the start of qualifying. But, I think, those 11 players who will take the field in the match against England will forget about him with the starting whistle. I personally like the coaching style of the new mentor. This is modern football. I think that all the guys are satisfied. So all that remains is to transfer all that we have worked on to the football field," Oleksandr Pikhalyonok said. 

We will remind you that the Euro 2024 selection match between England and Ukraine will take place on March 26 in London (starting at 19.00:XNUMX Kyiv time).
