When a German soccer team was defeated by the Ukraine men’s national squad, 2-1, on Wednesday night, German fans erupted in cheers. They chanted Ukrainian songs, sporting yellow-and-blue flags painted on their cheeks and Ukrainian scarves.
“There’s a lot of hope that Ukraine can make it [to the World Cup], also for the world to see that Ukraine is still existing, still fighting,” he said, adding that the players “know the burden that is on their shoulders — the hopes of a whole nation.”“The Ukraine national team has been very much a uniting power across the country” over the past years, Todos said.
When Manchester City’s Zinchenko recently appeared on the field during a match, Petrakov said to himself: “Thanks God, he’s fit. He played,” he recalled. “Many of those former [hardcore fans] that used to despise each other . . . are now fighting shoulder to shoulder,” Todos said. “When it comes to your nation and the importance of freedom, we cast the divisions aside.”
