Andriy Shevchenko between war and Euro 2024
Shevchenko’s words
Andriy Shevchenko did not only talk about Euro 2024 in the interview granted to La Stampa: "Ukraine needs attention and support. It has always had and always felt the support of Europe and the US, but now it's time to renew it, to make it even more concrete in the midst of so much destruction".
"I am not a politician, we simply hope that at the G7 and especially in Lucerne, at the peace table, we will lay the groundwork for an arrangement that will lead to the end of the war. It canò be a beginning. President Zelensky is clear about the fact that we need to move for a possible future. A summit that promotes stability, è is the right place to look at tomorrow and try to imagine it".
"Our qualification è demonstrating that the country wants to live, cheer, does not give up the everyday; looks beyond conflict. Passing the round would give great morale. Soì as the soldiers at the front must defend us, the players at the European Championships, as the athletes at the Olympics, must represent us. Sport has a strong power and must use it. Without hiding. The national team è a young and ambitious team, è the mirror of the country today. It has to be an example, put in every endowment to draw the interest that is waning while the war has been going on for too long", concluded the former Ballon d'Or.
