Taras – about the last season, which became the most difficult for him in his life
Midfielder of Shakhtar and the national team of Ukraine Taras Stepanenko wrote an emotional post on his Instagram, in which he summed up the results of the last season.
Stepanenko admitted that recently all his thoughts were about the victory of Ukraine in the war and the entry of the national team to the 2022 World Cup.
“Someday, in retrospect, the years spent in the struggle will seem to you the happiest. This expression is always with me when it’s hard and painful. In recent months, all my thoughts are about winning the war and getting to the World Cup. These dreams were connected by a strong connection that was in my heart and warmed my soul, ”Taras wrote.⠀
“Getting to Qatar is a goal that was so close that we almost managed to touch it, smell the victory and give the most important thing – a smile and incredible positive emotions for Ukrainians.”
⠀
“Strong people create their own character, and Ukrainians are a very strong nation. Now it is known all over the world. And we will definitely win the war, all together. And someday the World Cup will be held in Ukraine, I have no doubt about it.”
⠀
“Unfortunately, I will not be able to help the national team in the matches against Armenia and Ireland, so this season is over for me. Mentally, the hardest season of my life. And this is a very difficult experience that allows you to draw conclusions and be stronger.”
⠀
“Everything will be fine. To be continued. Glory to Ukraine”.
The Ukrainian national team did not qualify for the World Cup, losing in the playoff final to Wales (0:1).
On June 11 and 14, the team of Alexander Petrakov will play two matches of the League of Nations – against Armenia and Ireland, respectively. Both matches will be held in Lodz.
