Ukraine conceded two goals before the break and failed to impose their game in the second half
Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Georgy Sudakov commented defeat by England (0:2) in Euro 2024 qualifying match.
“We understood that England is now in, perhaps, the top 3 teams in the world. It’s hard to play against her, especially at Wembley. A very difficult game, but we had a plan. We wanted to control the ball as much as possible. It is clear that it was necessary to play on our strengths, and this is a ball game. Somewhere it didn’t work out, but we gave it one hundred percent. England showed their prowess by scoring two incredible goals.”
“In the episode with my shot in the first half, Yaremchuk rolled the ball away, I wanted to shoot, but there were many opponents. I almost got hit, and it was blocked.
“I played in the Champions League, but I have never played for the national team at this level. This is a new challenge for me. The opponent has a very strong midfield, defenders. It was hard in the center, because England is a physically strong team. It was necessary to work very quickly with the ball.
“There were both great moments and not so good ones. But we raise our heads up, move on, work. We see where we need to go. We work every day and progress.”
Earlier, the game of the Ukrainian national team was commented by Ruslan Malinovsky, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jozsef Sabo, Steven Gerrard.
