I am really happy with this achievement and I must thank my team-mates who have made it possible.
It has been a great year for me, ... I feel very honored to be here with these great champions by my side.
It will take place according to Catholic tradition. That's what we decided in our inter-ethnic family. When we have a second child it will be done according to Orthodox tradition.
This is a great result for my career. There have been great champions, such as (Liberia's) George Weah, who did not succeed to play in such a prestigious competition. I did it thanks to a close-knit team. Ukraine still can improve a lot.
I would like to thank everyone who supported me to be fit for the Euros. I had some fitness problems before the tournament, but I am here now!
My fitness is good. I hope to improve it even further during training.
We are far too close to breaking through to the finals of the world championships to think about anything else.
