In appearance in front of the media, the ball has ceased to be the center of attention to give way to the harsh reality of the Ukrainian nation. “It’s impossible to describe what’s going on,” he said. “It’s not acceptable, so we have to end it,” he said.
“We have to win, Ukraine is the country of freedom,” the Manchester City winger said. Zinchenko he warns, given the situation in his country, that “today is Ukraine, (but) tomorrow may be you”, referring to other countries in Europe.
Asked about his role, he considered himself “more useful from Manchester, sending money or in interviews” and in this way “showing what is happening in our country.”
“All Ukrainians, and the whole world wants to stop the war, there is only one dream”, but when it comes to football, the dream is “to qualify for the World Cup. We will try to do it, try to make them happy”.
“Our motivation was over 100%” before the game, the player said.
