Andrey VOROOBEY: “Every actor should play, I can’t”
Former Ukraine national team player Andriy Vorobey shared his expectations from our main team’s upcoming match against Scotland on June 1, as part of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
“The team is still pretty heavy, not in the best shape. We understand that the six months without football make them feel. Even with these mediocre teams where we play control games, they look fresher. They seem to be in the middle of the championship now.
I hope we will be well in half a month but it will be very difficult. But even if we don’t reach the peak of our abilities, I think every player should come out of himself and I can’t play. And now I hope for our legionnaires who are doing well. These are Yarmolenko, Mikolenko, Zinchenko, Malinovsky, Yaremchuk. I hope they pull the whole team with them.
Before the war I used to say we had an advantage in skill and in everything in general, but now we are unlikely to have that. Still, Scotland is an ambitious, characteristic team that plays. But I understand that it is necessary to play at the expense of skill, but if there is no character and people cannot take all their feelings and desires from themselves, then nothing will work. “Everyone should play 200 percent, not even 100 percent,” Vorobey said.
The World Cup playoff match between Scotland and Ukraine will be played on 1 June in Glasgow.

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
