FC Kharkiv player and Ukrainian national team member Ilya Krupsky shared how he found out about the long-awaited invitation to the country's main team and who shared those unforgettable moments with him:
I was just getting home when I received the letter. Of course, my girlfriend and I experienced these emotions together and were very happy - she even prepared a gift for me! Then I called my mom and brother. They were also very happy because they had been eagerly waiting for this. They follow the media even more than I do, so they were eagerly anticipating this call, and finally it happened.
