The midfielder of the Ukrainian national team made up the unsuccessful match against Scotland in the League of Nations.

The Ukrainian national team really wants to win the Nations League against the Scottish team. Midfielder Taras Stepanenko spoke about it after the match.

According to the Shakhtar footballer, the players of the national team always remember the situation in the country and want to give joy to their fans and soldiers at the front.

“We always think about our Ukraine, the military and what is happening in our country.

We are very concerned about the youth team, which we would like to congratulate on reaching the European Championship – this is a historic event.

We came out super charged, a lot of people came, they wanted to win. We played to win – for the fans, Ukraine and our soldiers at the front. Honestly, we come out of every match with that mindset,” Tribuna quoted Stepanenko as saying.

Recall that in the last round of the League of Nations group stage, the Ukrainian team failed to beat Scotland in Krakow (0:0) and remained in Division B of this tournament. In addition, the team is only seeded in the third pot in the 2024 European Championship qualifying draw.

Earlier, the captain of the Ukrainian national team Andriy Yarmolenko spoke about the reasons for the unsuccessful result.
