Southgate: If we want to be considered the best, then tomorrow we need to defeat Ukraine

England-Ukraine meeting will be held at Wembley

England head coach Gareth Southgate commented on the upcoming European Championship 2024 qualifier against Ukraine. The coach stressed that his wards need only win.

“We saw them at the very beginning of the war, when they went to Scotland for the play-offs for the 2022 World Cup. This is a very proud group of players who are fully committed to keeping their audience happy. Of course, we are very sympathetic to what is happening, but tomorrow is a football match and we are completely focused on winning the game.”

“The past and what we have done so far is irrelevant. I’m just focused on tomorrow’s game. We need to win and score six points when we leave Wembley tomorrow. If we want to be considered the best team, we need to confirm the performance and result we showed last night.”

“We have been training with this group all week, so it would be quite difficult to call someone from the outside because we have no idea where they might be or what their training load has been over the past few days. We think we have enough strength to win tomorrow’s game.”

The national team of Ukraine on March 26 at Wembley will play with England in the selection for Euro 2024. The beginning of the meeting between England and Ukraine is at 19:00 Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast by Suspіlne and MEGOGO.
