Yaremchuk: We need to talk less to the press and do more on the field

The forward of the Ukrainian national team and Spanish Valencia shared his expectations from the Euro 2024 playoff final.

The players of the Ukrainian national team have to come together and cheer the fans and defenders of Ukraine in front of the result. Roman Yaremchuk, forward of the national team and Spanish Valencia, said this in a press conference before the final of the Euro 2024 playoffs.

So the footballer called on his teammates not to speak a little to the press and to give their all in the match against the Icelandic team.

“I think we need to say less in the press that this is the match of our lives, that we must win. We need to talk less and do more on the field. Everyone understands the importance of the match.

Of course, this is a plus for our country, because we represent the best championships in the world. It’s not easy for the coaching staff to get us all into a scheme for a few days so we can still think on the field. Of course, it is difficult for the coaches, but the level of the players has increased. However, I repeat, we have to show it on the field, because in the last match we did not show our level. We need to show it here, because many of our fans will gather, it’s an important fight.

Now there is a change of generations, younger men are coming. Of course, for such important matches we really miss Taras Stepanenko and Andrei Yarmolenko and their leadership qualities in the locker room. But now many people who perform at a high level can give advice.

So, we talked about the fact that we went through such an experience after Scotland. We are euphoric, because we are one step away from the World Cup. And in the match against Wales we let the whole country down, and then we went around crying. There was a conversation so it wouldn’t happen again. Everyone took it seriously, forgot about the Bosnia match, and went to the hotel, ready for the next game. The situation in the country does not allow us to celebrate today. We have to please our fans and the guys who are fighting up front,” Yaremchuk said.

We remind you that the match between Ukraine and Iceland will take place today, March 26, starting at 21:45 Kyiv time. The winner of the meeting will play at Euro 2024 in the summer.

korrespondent.net will conduct a live online broadcast of the match.

Earlier, the final application of the Ukrainian national team for the match against Iceland became known.
