Midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Taras Stepanenko spoke about the preparations for the Euro 2024 qualifier against England.
– The first training session under Rotan was aimed at getting the weekend players back on track. Moreover, we had such a long road. And the guys who had less match practice played football. There were also tactical tasks.
It is necessary to prepare a team, but there is not enough time, because the theory will be rich. We need to rally the team after a long break and realize our vision of football.
Rotan is a young and energetic guy who has played football for many years, and now he has switched to coaching and has his own experience. He understands that he is the coach of the national team. He understands what responsibility he has. Because he lives for football, he lives for this game.
And we, the entire team, are ready to help him. Some players are injured, but still came to support. Everyone who is here will do everything to help Ruslan Petrovich and the national team get a good result, – said Stepanenko.
