The Ukrainian believes that our national team will not be able to prepare for the joints.
As part of the playoff selection for the World Cup in Qatar, the Ukrainian team must play against the Scottish national team. The match was originally scheduled for March 24, but due to the invasion of the Russian Federation, the game was postponed.
Ukrainian national team midfielder Taras Stepanenko spoke about the upcoming confrontation with the Scottish team. According to the Ukrainian, he wants FIFA and UEFA to postpone the selection, because our team is not ready for the game yet.
“We don’t want to be victims. We’re strong and capable guys, everything is fine and we can play 100%. But I have a question: how can we get to such an important match if we haven’t been in football for so long. How long? Every player knows that when you recover from a long-term injury, no matter how much you train in the gym and run, when you go out to play football, everything is different. “

“The level and strength may not be enough for one game, but we will be asked to play two tough matches, maybe four days to qualify for the World Cup. If there is no choice, then we will play. But think “I find it very difficult to achieve two positive results. We hope that FIFA and UEFA will understand this and postpone the games to give us more time to prepare,” Stepanenko quoted The Times as saying.
Remember that if the Ukrainian team wins against Scotland, we have to play in Wales.
Earlier, Ukraine identified potential rivals in the World Cup.
