“They’re the favorites. They may think they’ll grab three points and win. That’s normal. But if you believe you’ll lose, it’s better not to step onto the field, especially when you’re playing for the Ukrainian national team.”

“We also want to win. We don’t want to take points away from England; we just want to pocket those points for ourselves,” he added.
