    "I don't foresee that happening. It definitely won't win in the next 50 years.

    There are many stronger teams, and historically, stronger football players are born in other countries. So I don't harbor such illusions"

    You've only got to take the wrong cold medicine now...
    accidentally of course... and you're in trouble... then
    before you know it, you're banned!

    Isn't that right, Mykhailo?
