Head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhiy Rebrov before the friendly match against Poland shared his thoughts on the motivational role of Oleksandr Usyk's victory over Tyson Fury in the fight for the absolute heavyweight title.
"Yes, I think we were all rooting for Alexander. We saw what the fight was like. It was really a very important victory for our people, our country. And not just he won, but how he won!
It was really very beautiful. A very important victory for all of us. I am sure that this victory inspires our players. They saw how in Europe, the whole world treats Ukraine.
On the question of motivation. I am sure that now it is a very important motivation, when all our players see what they can really do for Ukraine at this Euro," Rebrov said.
