First of all, I want to say, guys who are fighting, this victory is for you. If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have happened This victory is for our people and our soldiers. I am very glad that it all happened this way.

I say once again, this victory is for our country, our people, our fighting soldiers.

The heroes are not us, the heroes are you, and if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to play today.

Guys, this is all for you.

Glory to Ukraine.

My readiness for the match?

I did three training sessions.

Everyone knows what kind of game it was, I did.

So, first of all, I wanted to help my country and team.

Especially since they counted on me and believed in me.

I was hoping to do my best to make it to the Euros.

Iceland game?

They know what their strong qualities are.

This team is very organized at the back and it was very difficult to break down this defence.

They were also the first to score, and the game went in a different direction.

But luckily we scored the first goal, settled down a bit, then scored the second and were able to win this game.

Did it get easier after leveling?

Of course.

I will repeat once again: they defended well, they understood what they could do to win the match.

It was very important for us to score the first goal as soon as possible," Tsygankov said.
