Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Taras Stepanenko shared his emotions after the playoff matches for the 2022 World Cup.

"In recent months, all my thoughts are about winning the war and getting to the World Cup. But these dreams were connected with each other by a strong bond that was in my heart and warmed my soul.

Getting to Qatar was a goal that was so close that we almost managed to touch it, feel the victory and give the most important thing - a smile and incredible positive emotions for Ukrainians.

Ukrainians are a very strong nation - now it is known all over the world. All together we will definitely win in this war. And someday the World Cup will be held in Ukraine, I have no doubts about that.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to help the team in the matches against Armenia and Ireland. That's why this season is over for me. Mentally - this is the hardest season of my life. And it is a very difficult experience that allows you to draw conclusions and be stronger.

Everything will be fine. Glory to Ukraine!”.
