Man City wing-back Zinchenko: Ukraine need game of our lives to beat England

Manchester City wing-back Oleksandr Zinchenko says Ukraine must play the "game of their lives" to beat England at Wembley tonight.

The two teams meet for a place in the Euro 2020 semifinals.

"I will say that numbers speak for themselves," Zinchenko said of England. "The fact that England hasn't conceded any goals yet, they play very well in defence.

"But I think that there are no perfect teams. Every team has weaknesses.

"With regards (Kyle) Walker and (John) Stones, they played an amazing season and during the last couple of years I've been playing with them they play at a very high level.

"It will not be easy. We know it. But at this stage of the tournament, everything is possible and I think that the coaching team will explain to us what to do with it and we will do our best.

"We will try to surprise them but of course we realise that to get through all the players and the whole team, they will need to play probably the best game of their lives."
