Solomon
admitted
. "I came to the country, home, with my friends with the team and it was really a bit weird at first. We will very much win. "
"Obviously I hope to start in the squad, every player aspires to it and especially I'm in a game like this, but I still do not know what will happen. The weather here has been great lately, while in Kiev always minus 10-15. I was jealous of my friends who sent me pictures from the sea. "But it's still much more weather than in Kiev."
Solomon added: "I came here two years ago, I was 19 and already then I was a national team player.
