Ukraine national team head coach Andrea Maldera addressed his squad ahead of their third UEFA Nations League match. The game is set to kick off at 18:45 UTC today, with the “Blue and Yellow” facing off against Northern Ireland.

“The national team does not belong to me or to you—it belongs to the Ukrainian people. Therefore, we must take great pride in representing the national team today.

I say this with immense pride because it is a tremendous honor for me to represent the Ukraine national team,” the Italian coach stated.

It is worth noting that Maldera’s side has accumulated four points from their first two matches, sharing the top spot in Group B2 alongside Northern Ireland.
