Oleksandr Zinchenko has claimed he feels fit and ready to leave despite a disappointing and disappointing end to the season at Manchester City.
You can only imagine the effort the City players put into trying to win the biggest game in club football, and with Pep Guardiola as manager, you can’t expect otherwise. And they looked exhausted after the Champions League defeat against Chelsea and lost 1-0 in Porto after Kai Havertz’s goal.
But Zinchenko and some other City players now have the chance to fight for another silver at the upcoming European Championship.
He is not expected to win the competition with Ukraine, but as one of the best players he hopes to reach a level that will make his country proud. The first step towards this is to be ready to play and he insisted that he be in good physical shape before Ukraine’s first game.
“I feel good, the team has a good atmosphere,” he told the Ukrainian Football Association. “Everything is going according to plan, we are preparing for the last control game on the eve of the European Championship.”
Zinchenko only had a few days off before joining Ukraine, but showed that he is fit and ready to fire for his country over the next few weeks.
“I feel like I haven’t lost anything in terms of physical condition,” he added.
“Life doesn’t end in defeat. We will set new goals and try to get closer to them. Mentally, I’m fine too. We have wonderful guys on the team who revived me after this situation. “
Ukraine will play Cyprus in their final warm-up match on Sunday before heading to Amsterdam for the Netherlands.
