(SOUNDBITE) (Ukrainian) UKRAINE NATIONAL SOCCER COACH, SERHIY REBROV, SAYING:     "I think you’ll see tomorrow what happens. Right now, I can’t say what will happen tomorrow. Yes, we are preparing, we understand what tomorrow will bring, but at this moment, I believe there’s no point in talking about it. (MODERATOR SPEAKING) As I said, both games are very important for us. We can’t be thinking now about the match against Iceland. I’m sure that tomorrow the players who take the field will give their maximum to take points from the French team." 15. MYKOLENKO AND REBROV LISTENING TO QUESTION 16. (SOUNDBITE) (Ukrainian) UKRAINE NATIONAL SOCCER COACH, SERHIY REBROV, SAYING (ASKED WHETHER HE THINKS FRANCE IS OVERESTIMATING THEMSELVES):     "I don’t know about the French team, but we respect this opponent. I’ve watched a lot of matches between France and Iceland. When, in the last minute, Iceland could have scored a goal, but it wasn’t counted. And indeed, Iceland was a capable team that knew how to take points from France. So now we must respect our opponent and focus on our own game—on how we want to play and succeed against such a strong team." 17. MYKOLENKO AND REBROV LISTENING TO QUESTION 18. (SOUNDBITE) (Ukrainian) DEFENDER ON UKRAINE NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM, VITALIY MYKOLENKO, SAYING:     "I won’t say that we have any fear, just respect for the opponent. There has probably never been any overestimation. It’s a very good team. World-class players, but they are the same footballers as we are. I think there will be no overestimation. We will play to our strengths." 19. VARIOUS OF UKRAINIAN NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM PLAYERS ARRIVING ON PITCH FOR TRAINING 20. VARIOUS OF PLAYERS JOGGING 21. DEFENDER ILLIA ZABARNYI TRAINING 22.
