“Together we will win, glory to Ukraine!”: Andriy Shevchenko, former AC Milan star and former Ukraine coach and Genoa coach, intervenes as follows – with a post on social media and the image of his country’s borders with the national flag – after the winds of war with Russia in the last hours. «I have always been proud of my people and my country – writes Sheva – We have gone through many difficult times and in the last 30 years we have formed as a nation. A nation of sincere, hardworking and freedom-loving citizens. This is our most important asset. Today is a difficult time for all of us. But we must unite! Together we will win! ».

His second when he was Ukraine coach was the old Rossoneri flag, Mauro Tassotti who, when asked by beraking latest news, observed that “a war unfortunately affects mainly the population, football is the lesser problem”. He thinks back to his experience of him in that country: «When I was in Ukraine these tensions were not felt. The players almost seemed to have been used to it for many years. Now it is probably at a different time but the war has existed there since 2014. Shakhtar Donetsk had to leave their city and since 2014 they have been playing around the country, now they have moved to Kiev, but before they played in Kharkiv in Donbass, in the most dangerous area ».
Who still coaches a Ukrainian team is Roberto De Zerbi, who sits on the bench of Shakhtar Donetsk: «De Zerbi? I know him but haven’t heard from him. I know they were in Turkey until a few days ago, but they returned to Kiev. I can only imagine the situation that, among other things, has already been experienced, as regards football, a few years ago, with some Brazilian players who, frightened, had asked for the sale. It is not easy for those who were not born in the country to understand and experience that kind of situation. Let’s hope everything will be resolved peacefully ».
